The Starter’s Guide to Canadian Travel Hacking Part 5: Relocation Vehicles

Would you like to go on a dream road trip using a relocation vehicles? If so, then you are in for a treat! Whether you are going on vacation or doing an around the world trip, renting a relocation vehicles will make travel more fun. And, as an added bonus, they can be more affordable as long as you are flexible with your schedule!

Quick disclaimer: I have yet to try renting relocation vehicles. however the information provided here is what I will personally be using when I travel. As soon as I try these services, I will be posting an update with my own review and experience of renting relocation vehicles.

How Relocation Vehicles Work

Did you know that you can rent a camper van or RV for as low as $1 a day? How does that even work!

Rental companies offer such a cheap price, simply because it just costs more to drive the vehicle back to its original location. Instead, rental companies would rent their vehicles out for dirt cheap so YOU can move it back instead, saving them money.

The only catch is you need to be flexible with your dates because availability is limited!

Best Use of Relocation Vehicles

How about that massive road trip you’ve been wanting to take across Canada? Now is your chance! I have seen some pretty good deals for RV rentals, for as low as $25, that takes you from Vancouver to Toronto.

Another great use of relocation vehicles is if you plan on taking a road trip through Australian. I’ve seen deals from websites such as iMoova where you can rent camper vans for as little as $1 per day! Since Australia is known to be an expensive country, that cheap camper van rental will really come in handy to offset the cost of accommodations.

Make sure to split the cost by traveling as a couple, as a family or with a group of friends!
