Camping in Québec

The Northern Surcharge is a fee that is added to all rentals picking up from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal & Halifax that travel to the northerly parts of Canada.

Use the interactive map to see where the Northern Surcharge area applies. 

Any destination north of the line on the map is deemed to be in a Northern Surcharge area. Vehicles for northern travel must be expressly requested and confirmed at the time of reservation. By virtue of the remoteness, weather, and road surface conditions in northern areas, it is important for CanaDream to know when a Guest is driving into these regions. Guests who travel to these areas without permission will be subject to a $1500 penalty and will void all insurance coverage. CanaDream RVs are all tracked for insurance purposes and Guests will be contacted when they drive into a northern surcharge area if they have not pre-purchased the Northern Surcharge fee. CanaDream reserves the right to restrict driving access at any time.

Some roads in the United States and Canada have seasonal restrictions on them. This means that Guests can travel these roads only at specific times of the year.  Currently these travel restricted areas are:

• Travel to Death Valley is limited to the low season (1 October through 30 April ) due to extremely high temperatures which can cause system failures.
• Travel on the Dempster Highway in the Yukon is not permitted between 15 September and 15 May due to road conditions. We are happy for our Guests to travel on this road between 16 May and 14 September. Guests must have completed all travel on the Dempster Highway by 14 September.

Guests assume all responsibility for any expense or loss of time while travelling in restricted areas.

Guests can travel into the USA if you have advised CanaDream in advance. We will add on the US Driving fee ($100 + taxes one-time fee) to ensure you are fully insured when driving in the USA. You can call us while you are on the road or send us an email and we will add this onto your booking.  If you have been diverted due to a fire and must enter the USA to get back to Canada, please let us know so we can review the cost at drop off.

Please also check that you have the right VISA entry and passport requirements for the USA too.
