Booking Calgary RV rental with Motorhome Republic

With a population of around 1.6 million people, Calgary is larger than the Alberta capital of Edmonton, which has just 1.3 million and is only about 3 hours away by a campervan. This city is perhaps most well known for the annual Calgary Stampede, a summertime festival that embraces the city’s ‘cowboy’ culture.
 

Search for cheap camper rentals Calgary offers, and choose from a wide array of vehicles for your Calgary RV needs. Motorhome Republic has 11 RV fleets that can help travellers find the perfect RV hire, regardless of the number of people in the group or the budget for the campervan holiday.
 

What to do with your Calgary motorhome hire

One of the best places to go with your RV rental from Calgary is straight to Banff, a resort town in the Banff National Park just 1.5 hours away. The national park itself offers quintessential Canadian views that will take your breath away, with azure blue lakes, lush forests and looming mountains like something out of a postcard. Whether it’s summer or winter, a campervan trip on the Banff gondola is a must for unforgettable views of the Canadian Rockies so don’t forget to steer your campervan rental Calgary to this wonderful landscape.
 

At the border of Alberta and British Columbia, you’ll find the Columbia Icefields 4.5 hours from Calgary with your RV rental. The glacier runs alongside Highway 93, and once there, you can take a guided walk or drive (in a specialized vehicle) across this seemingly endless display of ice.
 

Edmonton is another worthy stop in your motorhome tour, as it’s just three hours from Calgary and offers a myriad of activities and attractions no matter the time of year. Visit the zoo, the Royal Alberta Museum, the corn maze, and Hawrelak Park, or cheer on the Edmonton Prospects at a softball game in summer.
 

The Canmore Caverns are only an hour west of Calgary and make for a great stop at the start or end of your camper rental trip in summer or winter. The most popular attraction here is the Rat’s Nest Cave, an undeveloped mountain grotto where you can take a guided tour of the system without handrails, built-in lights or walkways for a more natural excursion.
 

Rent RV in Calgary and visit all these attractions with ease. The flexibility it offers is perfect for any road trip in Canada.
 

Best times to get RV rentals in Calgary

Depending on whether you’re in Alberta for the snow or the sunshine, your best time to get campervan rentals and visit Calgary can vary hugely.
 

The warmest months are June through to August, which is when most events are scheduled and when temperatures average between low 70s and high 60s (Fahrenheit). You can get quite a bit of rain throughout this season so be prepared for wet days, too...
 

For snow sports enthusiasts, November to March can be the perfect time for an RV rental Calgary trip with average highs reaching between roughly 25 and 35 degrees Fahrenheit.
 

Shoulder seasons in spring and fall can be a little chilly at times but are often cheaper. No matter the season, always check the campervan rental you’re getting to make sure it’s prepared for the weather at the time of your motorhome tour.

 

Head your campervan rental to Calgary's tower and witness the city's stunning symbol.

Calgary Campers: Rent a Motorhome

Calgary is the perfect place to rent an RV or campervan and hit the open road for a Canadian adventure. Arrive by air and head out on one of the several main highways, which all come to a crossroads in the city. The Canadian Rockies nearby are a great destination, best explored via the freedom of a motorhome rental.

 

A Growing City

As a wealthy region that popped up quickly in the prairies following the oil boom, it’s easy to dismiss Calgary as all flash and no substance – but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Visitors will enjoy the cowboy culture and western friendliness, and Calgary is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan as economic prospects expand far beyond oil. Come with your camper rental and see for yourself.
 

People flock to Calgary for the yearly Stampede, one of the world’s biggest rodeos. They also come for the nearby Canadian Rockies and many ski resorts – hence the added convenience of travelling in motorhome rentals / rental RVs. The city offers an increasingly diverse dining scene, youthful nightlife, clean streets and modern infrastructure.

Where to stay in Calgary

The hotel range in Calgary is quite standard. Most chains, from budget to high-end, have a location in the city and are often used by workers on business. For something a little different, try the Fairmont Palliser. While still a chain, it’s located in a landmark heritage building. The Wicked Hostel near Stampede Park is a good option for solo travellers on a budget, as hostels and bread & breakfast options are limited.
 

Calgary is extremely RV-friendly and there are numerous campground options. The Calaway RV Park & Campground is near a family amusement park, while Coyote Creek Golf & RV Resort is ideal for those with a set of clubs. Choosing where to park motorhome rentals Calgary will not be a problem with these options to choose from.

Annual Calendar: Beyond the Stampede

The Calgary Stampede is the biggest event of the year: a 10-day celebration including live music, rodeo competitions, chuck-wagon racing, agricultural exhibits and plenty more. It’s held at Stampede Park, which doesn’t sit vacant for the rest of the year. It’s an extensive event space which hosts sporting contests, shows and concerts. The Calgary Folk Music Festival is held in July in Prince’s Island Park, the Calgary International Children’s Festival at the Epcor Centre in autumn, along with a range of cultural festivals celebrating different parts of the world - Afrikadey, Fiestaval, the Chinatown Street Festival and Carifest. Get the feel of the city and be like a local during your Calgary RV rental adventure.

Calgary RV Eats

You have plenty of choices if you want to eat out and get a different taste aside from the food from your motorhome kitchen for a while. The culinary scene has certainly expanded over the past few years and there are some gems to be found. Alberta’s agriculture and farming adds depth to the menu, with local produce and meats and farmers’ markets popping up in the city. Don’t be afraid to jump in your Calgary RV rental and explore the city. There are restaurants with cuisines from all over the world, with a special interest in Asian and Mediterranean. Favourites in downtown Calgary include innovative Teatro, the scrumptious soul food at Model Milk, and Rush with its fantastic visible wine cellar. Park up your motorhome rentals and explore these places to enjoy their delightful treats.

Calgary Cowboys and Culture

Calgary is located between the Canadian Rockies to the west and prairies to the east, an important RV rental pit-stop on the Trans-Canada Highway between Vancouver and Canada’s eastern provinces. The Bow and Elbow rivers converge in the city, putting it at the crossroads of paths both man-made and natural.
 

Oil is how Calgary made its money, but the city is diversifying and no longer a one-trick pony. The flashy cowboy culture remains, and there are certainly a lot of big belt buckles about during the Stampede. However, there is more depth to the population and culture in Calgary now, as the city expands and the economy branches out. Its people come from all walks of life and have put their stamp on this growing urban centre.

Let Calgary entertain you on your motorhome tour

There is somewhat of an Olympic legacy in Calgary, which was home to the 1988 Winter Olympics. The Olympic Plaza is a lovely place to sit outside in summer or go ice-skating in the winter. Located centrally, it also hosts many special events and festivals. The Olympic Park offers great views of the city from the top of the ski jump, as well as an on-site museum and skiing and snowboarding facilities in the winter.
 

Head your motorhome rent to yet another attraction. Glenbow Museum is the place to go for the history of the city and plenty more. Besides travelling and permanent exhibits of cultural, military, indigenous and natural histories, it houses a lot of art with a collection of over 33,000 works. With your RV hire Calgary, there is always something new to see - and the museum is very close to the centre of Calgary, so just pop in while shopping and sightseeing.
 

Amazing mountain resorts are also close by. Jump in your Calgary RV and head west on the Trans-Canada Highway. This will get you to Banff in 90 minutes - just one of the lovely alpine towns in the collection of National Parks which cover the Canadian Rockies. Snow-sports rule in the winter, while in the summer you can enjoy hiking, climbing, fishing and boating, as well as the great scenery. Rent an RV in Calgary for great freedom of schedule and travel in this wonderful area.
 

In case you have some time to spare, grab a camper hire in Abbotsford, or you could go a bit further to Hamilton. Alternatively, head west and drive your RV rental from Calgary to Vancouver or go south to pick up a motorhome in Langley, and then cross the border to travel through the United States.

Finding your way around Calgary on your Camper

Trains and buses are the best options for getting around unless you have a rental vehicle - in which case, the city is easy to drive by car or camper. The public transit system incorporates buses and a light rail network called the C-Train. This is free for 14 blocks along the length of 7th Avenue, and elsewhere it costs $3 for a 90-minute transit ticket, which also gives you access to the buses. But of course, you can always take advantage of the convenience of renting your own Calgary RV.
 

Looking to get in or out of the city? Planes arrive and depart Calgary International Airport frequently, with flights to and from major North American and European cities. Inter-city buses such as Coach Canada also run routes through Calgary. You can also check motorhome rentals from other cities:

 

Motorhome Republic has got your campervan needs covered with varied options from the most trusted motorhome rental providers, no matter where you are.

The Weather Outlook in Calgary

The climate in Calgary is quite warm when compared to many Canadian cities. Summers are pleasantly balmy but not sweltering, and cool in the evenings - perfect for an RV hire Calgary tour. Winter is cold, but not bitterly so, and quite dry with periods of snow and thaw. There are many sunny days year-round, so bring your sunglasses!

Here’s our guide to the various rental brands available to help you search and compare RV rental Calgary prices and make a decision with no worries for your campervan tour in Canada.

Real Value RV Rental, Fraserway RV, Compass Campers Rental RVs

The variety of campervans and motorhome rentals available at Real Value RV, Fraserway RV and Compass Campers in Calgary ensures you’ll find the right RV rental vehicle for the right price. Real Value RV and Compass Campers have a similar range of motorhomes, starting out with two-berth RVs in a range of sizes, and including three- to six-berth rentals fitted with their own onboard bathroom facilities, basic kitchens and luxurious interiors. Fraserway RV Rentals adds its own immense selection of rental vehicles, such as a simple van conversion for budget trips, a truck camper for small family getaways, and large C- and A-Class luxury motorhomes that resemble hotel rooms on the inside with more than enough space for four or six people. The Calgary depot for these brands is at 536 Kingsview Way SE, Airdrie, which is roughly 20 kilometres from the airport, a trip of 20 minutes or so. Your transfer is complimentary whether you’re coming from the airport or a nearby hotel, all you need to do is arrange this in advance with the company.

Ambassador RV Rental

Ambassador RV specialises in C-Class motorhomes for extremely comfortable road trips around Canada.
