Why hire a campervan or motorhome in British Columbia

British Columbia — a region worth exploring

British Columbia's Sea-to-Sky Highway stretches 99 kilometres from Vancouver to Whistler, climbing from sea level to alpine meadows in a single drive — a route regularly ranked among North America's finest. This westernmost Canadian province covers nearly 945,000 square kilometres of Pacific coastline, ancient rainforest, and mountain ranges that reward slow, exploratory travel. From the surf beaches of Tofino on Vancouver Island to the fruit orchards of the Okanagan Valley, and from the historic streets of Victoria to the hot springs near Revelstoke, there is an extraordinary range of landscapes to discover at your own pace. The distance from Vancouver to Kamloops is roughly 355 kilometres, while the journey from Kelowna to Nelson covers about 270 kilometres through the Kootenay region's lake-filled valleys. Coastal roads wind past fjords and fishing villages, interior highways cross rolling grasslands, and northern routes lead into true wilderness. Many of these roads are well suited to both campervans and larger motorhomes, with plentiful provincial park campgrounds along the way. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners based across British Columbia — in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, and beyond. This peer-to-peer approach means a wider choice of vehicles, personal tips from people who know the province, and often more flexible pick-up arrangements than traditional hire companies offer.

Best time to visit

British Columbia's peak season runs from late June through September, when mountain passes are clear and provincial park campgrounds are fully open. July and August bring events such as the Vancouver Folk Music Festival and the Kelowna Regatta, both ideal to build a road trip around. Spring and autumn offer quieter roads, lower campsite fees, and dramatic seasonal colours — particularly in the Okanagan during the October grape harvest. With Yescapa's peer-to-peer model, you often find more competitive campervan hire rates outside the summer rush. Booking a few weeks ahead for July and August is wise, as British Columbia draws keen travellers all summer long.

Vancouver Island's Wild West Coast

450 km 5–8 days

Covering 450 km from Victoria to Tofino via the Pacific Rim Highway, this route crosses old-growth forest at Cathedral Grove and reaches the surf town of Ucluelet. Campervan-friendly sites sit right on the coast, and the road is well paved throughout.

The Kootenay Lake Loop

What you need to know about roads and motorways in British Columbia

British Columbia has no toll roads on its main highway network, so you can travel freely without passes or transponders. Speed limits on major routes such as the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) are typically 100–110 km/h for cars, but motorhomes and campervans over 5,500 kg must observe lower posted limits, often 90 km/h. Mountain passes like the Coquihalla and Rogers Pass require winter tyres or chains between October and April. Rest areas with free overnight parking are dotted along many highways, though signage varies by region. Watch for wildlife crossings, especially at dawn and dusk on interior and northern routes.

It was a pleasure dealimg with Alain. The Motorhome was in good condition and Alain was very helpful at pick up and drop off ensuring we knew how everything worked.

Clive
5 / 5

We had a great time in the motorhome. Jean Pierre was very friendly and professional. We were shown how everything works before setting off. We would definitely recommend hiring this vehicle. Jean Pierre only speaks French but with the aid of a translator app and his son it worked out absolutely fine. Thanks again Jean-Pierre.

We hired this camper Asier for our family holiday through Spain and France, what a great van it is with everything you need. Asier is very friendly and helpful even though there was a language barrier. We would definitely use again if we needed to.

Christopher
5 / 5

Mario was very helpful and supported us with this new experience. The vehicle was basically brand new and while there were some minor problems with cupboard doors, it was a very well equipped and comfortable van for 2 adults and two children of 10 and 13 years old. Highly recommended!
