Coast
to Coast Special:
Go
West are proud to
introduce an innovative
and successful package
that enables the
customer to enjoy
ALL of Canada! Why
explore only one
coast when you can
see them both!
Here is how it
works:
You fly into Toronto, spend your first night in an airport hotel and goes
through the company’s rental and orientation process the next morning.
You leave Owasco, Toronto for a minimum 10 day tour of the East.
After dropping off the vehicle at Toronto, you board a flight bound for
Vancouver or Calgary. You then proceed to
Go West for the second leg of the tour and picks up an identical vehicle.
As a result, you will not have to undergo a second motorhome orientation.
Then you leave Calgary or Vancouver for a minimum 10 day tour of the West.
The vehicle may be dropped off in Vancouver or Calgary.
Choose
from Calgary, Toronto or Vancouver to
start your trip.
One way rentals can be applied between Calgary and Vancouver. One way rentals
require a minimum rental of 10 days and a one way fee applies. (you must
book the same size vehicle at both locations)
Savings:
1 - There is no charge for the preparation fee & kits at the second
pick up location.
2 - if All Inclusive Option is taken then 500km for FREE at each location.
3 - Taxes will be applicable to the Province in which the trip originates.
4 - Most airlines have small or no stop over fees.
5 - Save fuel and kilometres by not driving across Canada
Northern
Surcharge:
A
surcharge of CAD $300 applies to rentals
traveling north of Fort St.
John on the Alaska Hwy, Cassiar Hwy,
into Yukon and Alaska. (Travel on the
Dempster Hwy, into the NW Territories
and Nunavut is not allowed)
Northern
use must be specified and conirmed at
time of reservation. We allow northern
rentals with non-slide C22’, C24’ and
C26’ slide out - 3 Week Minimum Rental

US
Border Crossing:
Travelling
into the United States is allowed
at no extra charge.
Ferry
Travel:
Please bear in mind that
pick ups are between 10:00 AM
to 03:00 PM in the afternoon.
Depending on how busy they are,
departure times cannot be guaranteed
early so you could be rushed
to make it to the ferry on time,
or miss the ferry completely.
Not a very good start to the
holiday. The same problem could
happen when you book a ferry
from Vancouver Island to the
mainland in the morning of vehicle
return; You will not arrive on
time to drop off the vehicle
and will be charged a late fee.
Therefore we kindly ask you not
to make ferry reservations for
same day as pick up or drop off.
Skytrain:
SkyTrain’s Canada line
opened August 17, 2009. The Line
connects people to dozens of local
destinations, including Coquitlam’s “ Braid” SkyTrain
Station where Go West can easily
pick-up and drop-off customers!
This is an easy, inexpensive and
comfortable way to travel for our
customers from and to our location!
Transfer from
and to the Coquitlam “Braid” SkyTrain
Station is offered at no cost!
Availability:
If,
for any reason, beyond our
control the reserved vehicle
is not available, Go West
reserves the right to substitute
a vehicle of equivalent value,
to refund all payments without
further liabilities, or offer
a higher rated vehicle at
no extra cost to the renter.
Any subsequent expenses (additional
ferry costs, gasoline, etc.)
are the renter's responsibility.
Should
a lower rated vehicle be offered,
Go West's only obligation is
to refund the cost difference
between the two vehicles. In
the event that the renter refuses
to accept the vehicle offered,
the renter acknowledges that
all payments will be forfeited
and he / she will have no further
loss or damage against Go West.
Important: Always
add 2ft to any vehicle for "ferry
bookings".
Renters
Responsibility:
Every
renter must have a valid
credit card to be able to
rent an RV from Go West.
The renter is responsible
for the vehicle and will
be charged for any misuse
or undue care, mechanical
damage due to negligence
in vehicle operation or failure
to provide normal maintenance.
This
includes checking engine oil,
fluids and coolant levels at
each refuelling, as well as reporting
mechanical failures immediately.

is void by not reporting any
damage to Go West and Insurance
Company within 24 hours.
