Just returned from a weeks vacation in a Canadream RV. PICK UP was in YVR and drop off of the RV was in Calgary. The RV itself was fantastic. Great condition and we had no problems with it at all. I would warn that the company will not work with you at all for pick up times. We were flying in from Toronto to Vancouver and wanted to pick up the RV as close to 1 as possible. The company tried to charge us an additional $375 for a pickup between 10 and noon. I wasn't even paying that price nightly for the RV. We arrived into Va... read more

Business response:

Hi Christine. Thank you for being our Guest. We would like to apologise for the longer than usual wait you had when picking up your RV last week. As you correctly pointed out, our Vancouver location had a very busy day - they had 46 vehicles being picked up and a further 27 being dropped off. Some of the vehicles being dropped off were then serviced, cleaned and prepared for pick ups that same day. To accommodate this possibility and to ensure a smooth drop off process for our returning Guests, we schedule pickups betwee... read more

Deleting negative Posts is not the right way to work on customer complaints, nor not being able to find the customer in the booking system! Shame on you! Chosing this company you will be passed from employee to employee if there are questions. For instance adding an additional driver on a daily basis might be possible according to the employee, the next one keeps telling it is not. Staff is rather trimmed on the sale of additional insurance and so it might happen that the supposed transfer of a rental vehicle will take more... read more

I've experienced better may not be the best option but A-Ok doesn't fit. We had a nice time camping and once the RV was parked it really was beautiful. There are just too many reasons not to rent though. For one, it is way to expensive. We only wanted the RV for 5 nights but were told we had to pay for 7. That doesn't make sense to me. We brought it back 2 days early and paid for 7. The website didn't make that clear. It said if you want to book for less then call them. You call them so they can tell you it has to ... read more

We rented a RV from Canadrean N.S. Canada for 3 weeks from July 18, 2017 to August 8, 2017. This was suppose to be our honeymoon trip. Just before we were to fly in to Helifax to pickup RV there was a family emergency. We contacted Canadream to notified them that we would not be able to pick up the RV on July 18th but would be there a few days late. We explain the situation to them and since we had paid the full amount up front we we told that they would hold the vehicle for us. On July 20th we contacted Canadream to let the... read more

Business response:

Hi Kevin - thank you for your comments. Unfortunately the notes in your reservation of conversations you had with our Halifax office do not support your interpretation of events. While we are only contractually obliged to hold the booking for 24 hours after the scheduled pick up date, we made an exception in your case and held the RV booking while we waited for further advice from you. If you had arrived in Halifax to pick up the RV on 21 July as you suggest in your review, the vehicle was still being held for you and ha... read more

I would not trust this company with renting a lawn chair. The contract ius long and favours only them, and they will charge you for every little thing you use or do or places you go. They will charge for damages you may have misses at pickup as your excited to go and even though they see it will not point it out. There have been pets in several of the units, despite them saying they do not allow this, same as smoking. I neither smoke or have pets and my allergies went off like crazy. When we called we were assured it could n... read more

Like other reviews, had a terrible experience. Tons of extra costs, rude staff, and the RV was not in good condition when we got it (doors swinging open/broken lock for example). We were also promised multiple things in writing by email that were not delivered. We were promised a 4 person bike rack but when we got there they only had one two person left. We had to wait 2 and a half hours after the pick up time to get our RV. This is just a small list of things that went wrong. I wish I read the reviews before choosing them. 

Business response:

Really sorry to hear of your experience and especially that you did not receive promised multiple things in writing by email. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss how we did not meet your expectations and what would be appropriate compensation. Brian Gronberg President & CEO

This place sounds like a joke valid concerns were brought up by a customer and like all company's someone is quick to answer with all the greasy loop holes and the things that you signed off on. Not taking into consideration that people may just sign off as things being excellent because there sick of some moron rambling on and on about something you already know or that there is tin foil over the mess in the oven things like that. Seems as though they could care less about repeat customers just want to grab your cash and se... read more

Was not even 1 hour into our trip when things went down hill. Stepped down onto a piece of plastic and cut my foot. Only if we brought them hospital documentation would they take any responsibility for it. You think you get a good deal, then you read the fine print. $10 to rent a lawn chair, $12 to rent a toaster. $100 just If you turn on the generator. Needed to drop it off on Sunday to return to work on Monday that's an extra $350 for a Sunday drop off. We were about an hour away from picking the rv up when we saw a hub ... read more
