Owasco RV Rentals review
A family RV business with a rental range stretching from compact vans to large North American motorhomes, based east of Toronto.
Profile reviewed and updated on
Background
Company overview
Owasco describes its RV business as family-run since 2000. It moved to Clarington in 2018, where rentals operate from a centre that also houses vehicle sales and servicing. Rental collection takes place at 570 Rundle Road; Bowmanville is another location name used for this same address.
The rental business serves both Canadian and international travellers. Its direct booking process starts with a quote request covering the vehicle category, dates, party size and planned mileage or destination. A booking follows confirmation rather than an instant purchase from the published price list.
Our verdict
Editorial review
Owasco gives renters considerable choice over the physical scale of their trip, but the commercial offer rewards a settled plan. Choosing a larger vehicle can solve a space problem without removing the need to budget separately for distance and equipment. Its appeal is strongest when the vehicle, mileage and itinerary are considered together; a low seasonal daily rate alone gives an incomplete picture of the rental.
Good points
- Time to learn the vehicle.The scheduled orientation lasts 60–90 minutes. Several rental accounts also describe helpful explanations of the vehicle or its systems, adding practical support to the handover provision.
- Leave the car and luggage behind.Direct rentals include parking for one car and luggage storage at the base. Travellers arriving with their own car can leave it there without carrying all their bags inside the RV.
Things to consider
- City stops and northern travel need planning.Owasco's rental conditions prohibit parking in Montreal and Ottawa. Travel to the specified northern areas requires advance permission, a supplement and a C22–C24 without a slide-out. These rules can affect both the itinerary and the vehicle choice.
- Equipment problems can take time out of a trip.Recent rental accounts include faults involving a refrigerator, an awning or levelling equipment. One traveller obtained a replacement after a wait and reported a positive resolution; other accounts describe disagreements over follow-up or compensation without a reported resolution.

Owasco's motorhome range spans compact Class B vans, overcab Class C vehicles and a larger Class A. The two vans both sleep two adults, with the B19 providing the shorter format. Despite its category name, the B22 can include different models and either gasoline or diesel engines; the name does not guarantee a Mercedes vehicle.
The Class C range moves from the shorter C22–C24 to the C26 Deluxe and the longer C30 with bunk beds. Slide-outs in the larger formats increase living space when parked. The A32 adds a different motorhome body style at the largest end of the range, rather than simply another overcab layout. For a family, the sleeping arrangement and the confirmed travel-seat capacity matter more than choosing by length alone.
All six motorised categories include heating, air conditioning, a refrigerator, sink, cooking facilities and a microwave. Some vans have induction cooking. Bookings are for a category: the exact model and layout can change, and an awning is not guaranteed. A generator is requested separately.
The Travel Trailer is a separate holiday option for travellers arranging a suitable towing vehicle. Owasco also rents trailers for longer stays, on a quotation basis. These sit outside the six-category motorhome range and should be considered as a different form of rental accommodation.

Practical facts
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Direct rental prices | For travel from 10 September to 7 October 2026, the published daily rate is CAD 186 for the B19, CAD 229 for the C22–C24 and CAD 325 for the A32, before tax and additions. These are examples from Owasco's direct seasonal tariff, not a Motorhomeland quote. |
| Preparation charge | Motorhome rentals carry a CAD 110 preparation charge for rentals of at least seven days, or CAD 170 for a shorter rental. Preparation includes the first tank of propane and utility supplies. |
| Booking payment | A CAD 500 booking payment is required to confirm a direct motorhome rental. The balance and taxes are due 30 days before collection. This booking payment is separate from a damage-security deposit. |
| Mileage | Prepaid packages cost CAD 147 for 300 km or CAD 343 for 700 km: CAD 0.49 per kilometre. Additional kilometres cost CAD 0.55 each. Unused kilometres are not refunded. |
| Rental length | The normal minimum is seven days, rising to 14 days in March. Shorter motorhome rentals may be available at the last minute, subject to availability. |
| Drivers and payment card | The principal driver must be aged 25–75 and hold a full driving licence and a valid credit card. All drivers must be declared. Visa and Mastercard are accepted; prepaid cards are not. An international driving permit is recommended for foreign licence holders. |
| Personal and kitchen equipment | The optional full kit costs CAD 105 per person, charged for a maximum of four people. The separate dishware option costs CAD 90 per rental for up to four people, plus CAD 25 for each additional person. |
| Optional protection | VIP Plus costs CAD 35 per day for direct motorhome rentals and includes described windshield and tire protection. This price is not a statement of zero excess or comprehensive cover. |
| Cleaning and waste tanks | A CAD 150 cleaning deposit is refundable when the vehicle is returned clean. The interior and exterior must be clean, with normal road dust accepted; bed linen need not be washed. Waste tanks left unemptied incur a CAD 150 charge per tank. The cleaning deposit is not the total damage-security deposit. |
| Pets and smoking | Neither pets nor smoking are allowed. A breach carries a minimum CAD 250 charge. |
| Travel into the USA | Owasco lists no additional cross-border rental charge for travel into the USA. Its route restrictions still apply; this does not permit every road or destination. |
| Restricted roads and destinations | Mexico, the Dempster Highway, and gravel and dirt roads are excluded under the rental conditions. The conditions also prohibit parking in Montreal and Ottawa. These are Owasco rental restrictions, not general municipal rules. |
| Northern travel | Travel north of Fort St. John, on the Alaska Highway or Cassiar Highway, or into Yukon or Alaska requires advance permission and a CAD 300 supplement. The permitted category is a C22–C24 without a slide-out. |
| Cancellation and early return | A cancellation within three days of booking is free if collection is more than 30 days away. After that initial window, cancellation more than 30 days before pickup costs CAD 500. Cancellation 16–29 days before pickup costs 60% of the rental price; 1–15 days before pickup costs 75%, and a no-show costs 100%. There is no refund for returning early. |
| Collection and arrival | Allow 60–90 minutes for the vehicle orientation. Owasco offers collection from Durham College Oshawa GO station; contact the rental team to arrange it. This is a station pickup, not a direct airport shuttle. |
| Replacement vehicle | A replacement can be an equivalent or higher category without an increase in the rental charge. Any additional fuel or ferry costs remain the renter's responsibility. |
| Repairs during the trip | Repairs costing more than CAD 75 require prior approval. Keep receipts for authorised expenses. |
Quick answers
Owasco RV Rentals FAQ
Is Owasco RV Rentals at Toronto Pearson Airport?
The rental base is in Clarington, east of Toronto, at 570 Rundle Road. Owasco's arrival guide uses the UP Express to Union Station and a Lakeshore East train to Durham College Oshawa GO, where its station pickup can be arranged. That service does not collect directly from Pearson Airport.
Can I rent a small campervan from Owasco?
The B19 and B22 are Class B categories sleeping two adults. The B19 is approximately 19 ft long and the B22 approximately 22 ft. B22 is a category name covering more than one model, so it does not guarantee a Mercedes chassis or a diesel engine.
Which Owasco RV can sleep eight people?
The C30 Deluxe with Bunkbeds has a maximum sleeping capacity of eight including children, and eight travel seats. Its sleeping capacity should not be read as eight adult-sized beds; the exact layout needs to suit the party using it.
Can I take an Owasco motorhome to Alaska or Yukon?
Only with advance permission, the CAD 300 northern-travel supplement and a C22–C24 without a slide-out. The same approval arrangement covers the Alaska Highway, Cassiar Highway and travel north of Fort St. John. The Dempster Highway remains excluded.
Does Owasco include unlimited mileage?
Its direct motorhome tariff uses kilometre packages: CAD 147 buys 300 km and CAD 343 buys 700 km. Additional distance costs CAD 0.55 per kilometre. These direct-rental figures do not describe packages sold through other booking channels.
Can I bring a dog in an Owasco rental?
Owasco's rental rules prohibit pets in its motorhomes and holiday travel trailer. Bringing an animal can trigger a minimum CAD 250 charge; it is not an optional pet fee that purchases permission.
Can I park an Owasco motorhome in Montreal or Ottawa?
Owasco's rental conditions prohibit parking in both cities. An itinerary involving either needs to account for that contractual restriction before the rental is booked.
