Flex
Rates
Flex
Rates allow CanaDream to offer flexible pricing, which
gives you the opportunity to secure the best possible
rental rate. The Flex Rates are based on a very simple
system of supply and demand. So, when there are many
RVs available for hire from a location, the rental rate
is lower. Generally, this means that the earlier you
book, the better the rate!
Vehicle Preparation
Kit Fee
Vehicle preparation (first supply of propane and toilet
chemicals). This fee is now included in the nightly rental
rate.

Early
Pick Up / Late Drop Off
Guests
will select their pick-up time during online check-in.
• Standard Pick up times are between 1pm and
4pm.
• Early Pick up is available between 10am-12:30pm
for a fee of CAD $75 and is subject to availability
slots.
Early
Pick-Ups and Late Drop-Offs cannot be pre-booked.
These options are only available during Online Check-In,
subject to availability.
Guests
are advised against turning up earlier than their
scheduled arrival time. The arrival times are based
on the pre booked pick up/drop off schedules and
vehicle prepping and availability, therefore an early
arrival is unlikely to result in an earlier than
booked pick up slot.

Driving

are welcome to travel into the United States with the correct
passport/visa/documentation relevant to their party and when
there are no government-imposed restrictions. A US Driving
fee of CAD $100 per booking applies to any travel within
the United States (including Alaska). This gives unlimited
nights of stay in the USA. If the US Driving fee is not included
in the rental package, it can also be added during online
check-in. Guests must pay the US driving fee before entering
the USA or their insurance coverage will be voided.
Guest
Guide
At
check-in, each booking receives a Guest Guide for their vehicle
type. The Guest Guide is a step-bystep handy guide containing
all Guests need to know about their RV. It’s a helpful reminder
of all the elements covered during the Quick Start Guide
but remains with them for the entire duration of their vacation
and it’s free to take home with their holiday memories.
CanaDream
Club
All
Guests are immediately members of the Club as soon as they
have made a booking with CanaDream. Guest are able to
download the CanaDream Club app where they will find useful
maps for fuel station locations (with our partner gas stations),
campgrounds and many attractions across Canada who are happy
to welcome CanaDream RVs to their attraction and to offer
CanaDream Guests preferential pricing or added value.
Insurance
coverage
Canada
operates insurance on a “no fault basis”. No-fault insurance doesn’t
mean that no one is at fault when you get into an accident.
All it means is that if you’re injured or your RV is damaged in an
accident, your insurance company handles your claim, instead of potentially going
through the lengthy and costly process of the court system
and dealing with the other person’s insurance
company. This is true regardless of whether the accident was your fault or someone
else’s.
After
an accident, it’s an insurer’s responsibility to determine who’s at fault
to evaluate an individual’s risk and determine how their premiums will be impacted.
To determine fault, the law in almost every province requires an insurance company
to assign a percentage of fault to each driver involved based on provincial regulations
known typically as Fault Determination Rules. These rules outline different accident
scenarios and assign fault to each of the parties involved in the accident by
referencing the rule that most closely resembles the factual circumstances of
the accident.
• All
CanaDream vehicles are insured with $5 million Public
Liability and Property Damage.
• A security deposit of CAD $1,750 is required
for the collision and comprehensive insurance deductibles
as outlined in our insurance policy. CanaDream
does not offer a liability reduction product.
The
security deposit is processed to the Lead Driver/Main Guest’s credit card
during Online Check-in and is refunded to the same credit card upon return of
the vehicle, if the vehicle is returned in the same condition as it was received
i.e., without damage. This credit card must be presented by the named Guest at
the time of pick-up.
• Any Guest that is involved in an incident will have their deposit held (to
the maximum charge) for a minimum of 60 days or until the incident claim is closed.
Claims
that are less than the deposit amount will have the difference refunded
to the Guest upon closing of the incident claim.
• The Guest is responsible for the maximum charge stipulated, where expenses
include, but are not limited to towing, storage fees, damage to the CanaDream
Inc. vehicle, damage to third party property, injury claims, insurance adjuster
fees, legal fees.
• The insurance does not cover liability for loss of personal property, nor does
it cover costs for accommodation, transportation, or replacement of vehicle if
the vehicle is stolen or should an incident occur that makes the rented vehicle
inoperable.
• The security deposit covers the first incident. Where damage has been reported,
a second security deposit will be taken to cover any additional
incident, and so on and so-forth.
• Where
a replacement unit is required due to accidental damage, and, depending
on availability, a new, signed rental agreement & security deposit
must be in place before a replacement vehicle is provided.
• The
Guest is also responsible for the cost of business loss
where damage is caused by negligence. This will be charged
for the period the RV is unavailable due to repairs.
Incidents
must be reported within 24 hours and be accompanied
by the completion of either CanaDream online accident
report or the written accident report form (in each
vehicle) along with the police report or file number.

Burning
Man Festival in Nevada has a charge of CAD $2,500
for all CanaDream rentals, this includes up to 4

CanaDream reserves the right to alter or change the list of festivals affected by the surcharge.

vehicle is not available, CanaDream reserves the right
to substitute a vehicle of equivalent value or offer a
higher rated vehicle at no additional cost. Should a lower
rated vehicle be substituted, the company's only responsibility
is to refund the difference between the two vehicles. Although
this is infrequent, accidents or mechanical repairs may
force substitutions.
Child
Seats General Information
CanaDream
offers the Evenflo Symphony 3-in-1 Child Seat.
The 3
in 1 seat will be given to the Guest, but they will need
to convert the seat into the size required for the child.
The seat can be used as an infant seat, a child seat, and
a booster chair. Note: it does not convert into a booster
cushion, but the booster seat with the full back, this
may not suit some older children. If this does not suit
the child, we are happy to refund the child seat rental
charge.
Parents or guardians are responsible for the installation
of the child seats. CanaDream Crew members can provide
guidance but cannot physically help install the seats.
The TCA is the only unit with a 3-point seatbelt for securing
the child seat and is compatible with the Isoflex Anchor
Points.
Booster seats without a back rest are not recommended
for use in RV's as they can only be secured by the lap
belt. It is often safer for larger children to simply use
the lap belt as a restraint.
Availability of child seats are not guaranteed, and we
highly recommend booking them at the same time as RV bookings.
Generator
Use
of the Generator is charged at CAD $3.5 per hour between
01 May and 30 September and is paid upon drop-off. Generator
useage is complimentary between 01 October – 30 April.
(The TCA does not have a generator)
Levelling
Blocks
We
are pleased to offer a pack of leveling blocks
for Guests to rent. Levelling blocks are positionned
under the wheels to help level out a packed
RV when parking on unevent ground. Guests must
take care when positioning the levelling blocks.
Bike
Racks
We are pleased to provide bike racks for rental along
with our SVC, MH-B, MH-A and MH-X units. The CanaDream
premium bike rack is specially designed for RV’s
and can hold up to 4 regular bikes (Not e-bikes).
Guests who wish to use the rack for e-bikes should
note there is a restricted weight limit on the rack
of 100lbs in total weight. Guests are fully responsible
for the fitting of their bikes to the bike rack and
are required to sign the Bike Rack acceptance as
part of the Rental Agreement.
CanaDream cannot be
held responsible for any damage caused to any bikes
on the rack. We also recommend Guests bring appropriate
bike padlocks for securing their bikes when not in
use. For liability purposes CanaDream does not permit
the use of personal Bike Racks.
Winterisation
All
Motorhomes must be winterized when travelling in freezing
conditions with the exceptions of CanaDream’s unique MHA
RV unit, which is specially built for winter conditions
and allows for use of the water, toilet, and shower in
freezing conditions. Winterization of all other units requires
that antifreeze is flushed through the plumbing system.
As the weather in Canada can be unpredictable, CanaDream
will winterize their units as the temperatures start to
drop into the freezing zone. As a guideline, RV’s will
be winterized:
-
Eastern
stations (Toronto, Halifax & Montreal): 15th October
-
Western
Stations (Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton): 1st October
Once
the RV is winterized, no water can be put into the freshwater
tank, and it cannot be hooked up to any water supply.
Therefore, no water is available in the motorhome.
It
is the Guests’ responsibility to have the RV winterized
while on a trip at his/her own expense should the weather
conditions require. The Guest is also financially responsible
for having the RV rewinterized on the return trip if
the RV was winterized at the time of pick-up and the
vehicle is being returned in freezing temperatures.
A CAD $150 re-winterization fee will be charged if the
RV is returned non-winterized when the temperature is -10
degrees Celsius or below. The Guest will be fully responsible
for any damages to the plumbing and water systems caused
by freezing during their trip.
Change
to Drop-off Location after Pick-up
If
your client wishes to change their drop-off location after
pick-up, they should get in touch with our friendly Reservations
Team who will be happy to help. Our team will advise the
Guest if the change is possible and if a relocation fee
applies. Any fees would be charged directly to the Guest.
Extending
a Road Trip
If
a Guest wishes to extend their booking whilst on hire,
they must first obtain authorization from CanaDream Reservations
who will advise of the additional costs - extensions cannot
be made through a wholesaler. Rental extension is subject
to fleet availability. The extra cost of
an extended booking must be paid by credit card over the
telephone or at a CanaDream location immediately on confirmation
of the booking extension.
Change
of RV
We
do our very best to ensure each Guest receives the vehicle
category they booked, we cannot confirm or guarantee a
unit by make or model. We always do our best to accommodate
special requests.
Should the booked RV not be available due to unforeseen circumstances or operational
challenges, we will substitute the booked RV with an alternative
available at the time of pick-up. We will do our best to
communicate any changes to the booked vehicle to you or
to the Guest in advance of pick up but this is not always
possible. Any changes to the booked RV and agreed to by
or requested by the Guest do not entitle the Guest to a
refund.
Powered
Site and Ferry Bookings
It
can be difficult to book a full-service campsite or a ferry
during high season. We recommend Guests make a reservation
for at least a 33ft RV, irrespective of the size of the
motorhome reserved to avoid problems due to possible upgrades.
Powered sites will require a 30-amp connection.
Repairs
We
understand that while on holiday the RV may require small
repairs or small items included in the Kitchen Kit may
need to be replaced. So as not to disturb the road trip
any further, if the damage was not caused by the Guest,
repairs, or replacements up to CAD $150 can be completed
without authorisation and will be reimbursed on presentation
of the receipts at time of drop off. If repairs or replacements
over CAD $150 are needed, the CanaDream On-road Team needs
to be informed prior to the repair being completed. All
RVs are covered for 24/7 mechanical emergency roadside
assistance.
Infringements,
Tolls and Fees
CanaDream
will pass on any charges the Guest receives for traffic
infringements, road tolls or parking fines during their
road trip. If the Guest pays these fines immediately, there
will be no additional administration fees. However, if
the Guest delays in paying the fine we reserve the right
to charge an administration fee.
Fuel
CanaDream makes no representation as to fuel consumption. Vehicles are supplied with a minimum
¼ tank. If the Guest returns with less fuel than on departure, he/she will be charged for that amount
of fuel at CanaDream’s refuelling rate. There is no refund if client returns with more fuel than on
departure.
During the Winter Season fuel tanks may be provided full and should then be returned full.

Shortening of Rental Period
If a renter shortens their hire period by more than a week - it may be treated as a cancellation of the whole booking and a re-booking. This depends on when the amendment takes place and how many days of hire are being cancelled. Please ensure you always have travel insurance in place.
Travel Insurance
CanaDream strongly recommends that Guests ensure they take out the highest level of personal Travel Insurance to cover and protect them from unexpected circumstances on their vacation.
Payments
at Stations
For
security reasons, CanaDream will only accept credit card
or debit card for rental charges paid on RV pick-up or
drop-off. Cash payments will not be accepted at rental
stations. The Security deposit on the RV must be paid on
a credit card. We accept: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, & Union
Pay.
Exchange
Rate
All transactions are conducted in CAD$. Due to exchange rate fluctuations, there could be some
variance in the amount refunded compared to the amount initially charged. Refunds by credit card
can take up to 14 business days, depending on the Guest’s financial institution.
Multiple
Rentals
We
love to reward our long-term road trippers so consecutive
rentals within a 3-month period, in Canada, the USA, Australia,
New Zealand or Europe with any of the Apollo brands can
be combined to obtain a long term 5%
discount on the Flex
Rate. Multiple rentals are considered separate rentals
under the one-way fee and minimum rental period conditions.
Multiple rental discounts can also be applied to Early
Booking discounts.
Long
Hire Discounts
Guests
who love road trips as much as we do, and travel for 21
nights or more, receive 5% saving on the vehicle rental
rate in Summer (April - October) and 10%
saving on the
vehicle rental rate in Winter (November to March). This
discount is combinable with Early Booking Offers but is
not combinable with seasonal special or relocation offers.
Booking
Alterations
At
CanaDream, we understand that sometimes things change.
If this is the case, any changes made to a booking will
be calculated by using the higher one of the two rates,
either the original Flex Rate or the Flex Rate current
at the time of the booking alteration.

- Change of pick-up location
- Change in drop-off location
- Change in the pick-up date, excluding booking extension
- Change in the drop-off date, excluding booking extension

the event the hirer wishes to make changes to the following:
vehicle booked, pick up or drop off dates, pick up
or drop off locations the following charges will apply:
• If amended 15+ nights prior to pick up: $50 plus any increase in vehicle charges.
• If

100% of cancellation fees and new booking charges will
apply.
Please note:
• There is no refund for late pickup or early return of the motorhome
• No refunds for an amendment which reduces the number of booked nights
• If the rate plan or RV category is changed, it is considered a new booking
and cancellation fees may apply to the original booking
• The Flex Rate of a confirmed booking will not change with requested changes
to party size and/or adding prepaid items.
• Changes can be made for travel up to 12 months
• Any credits applied to a booking will have 12 months validity from the original
