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

Minimum Rental Period:
- 1 week minimum rental.
- 1 week minimum on Vancouver - Calgary (or vice versa) one-way bookings
- 2 weeks minimum for Class A Vehicle bookings.
