Note that Whitehorse is a great place to begin and end a tour of Alaska!

The pick-up/return depots are located at Calgary, Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, and Whitehorse — gateway to Alaska. The driving distance between Whitehorse and Alaska's Denali National Park is 798 miles (1287 kilometers). See the online route planners listed on our "Resources" page, at left. There is no surcharge for pick-up/return at Whitehorse. Condor offers direct flights from Frankfurt, Germany, to Whitehorse every Tuesday and Thursday, May through October. Air Canada operates two daily flights between Vancouver and Whitehorse, and tickets for these can be appended to Air Canada and Lufthansa tickets from/to Europe.

The Vancouver depot.

Whitehorse, capital of the Yukon Territory.

Certain one-way rentals are possible between the depots, as follows — although the minimum duration for one-way rentals is 14 days:

Shuttle transfer is offered until 1 pm free of charge from/to the relevant airport, airport area hotels, and city hotels (except in Toronto city). At Vancouver, transfer is provided from/to the cruise terminal but not from/to the ferry terminals.

Vehicle pick-up (or return) is not possible directly at locations other than the depots.

At Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto there is no room for customers to park their cars on the depot grounds, although acceptable street parking is available nearby. At Halifax and Whitehorse there is limited room on the depot grounds for customers to park a car for the duration of a motorhome rental; clients should contact the depot in advance to learn whether such room is available.

The vendor permits travel to Alaska, the Yukon, Nunavut and the NW Territories if the client declares such intention with the booking. The vendor does not allow the vehicle to be taken into Mexico. Nor does the vendor allow them to travel into Death Valley from 1 June through 31 August. The vehicles may not be parked in the city center (i.e. downtown) of Montreal nor in New York City, and they must always be attended by the client when in these cities.

Where/when the ambient temperatures of the low-altitude regions near the depot are expected to be below the freezing point during a client's rental, the vehicle will be delivered to the client with its water/waste system drained, hence neither the sink, the shower nor the toilet can be used; and if the client re-hydrates this system during the rental and returns the vehicle as such, a CAD 100 fee will be charged to the client upon return. In contrast, if such temperatures will or may be encountered only at higher altitudes or otherwise sporadically during a client's rental duration the vehicle may or will, respectively, be delivered to the client with its water/waste system hydrated. Regardless, in all cases the client is responsible for any damage to the water/waste system due to freezing. Which is to say, the client should be sure the water/waste system is drained of water before using the vehicle where that water system might freeze. Of course upon the pick-up occasion the vendor can provide instruction regarding the draining and rehydration of that system.

The depots are open for pick-up Monday–Saturday, 9 am to 3 pm. They are open for standard return Monday–Saturday, 9 am to 12 noon, i.e. mornings. A non-standard pick-up time is not possible. A considerably non-standard return time (after 1 pm, let's say) entails an extra night's worth of cost. The IdeaMerge software accounts for such a non-standard. The depots are closed on Sundays and on certain holidays, which are accounted for by our online reservation software. A fee of CAD 30 per hour applies to late return of the vehicle. General hours of operation are 8:30 am to 5 pm Monday–Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm on Saturday.

The vendor provides free storage of luggage at the rental depot (but at the client's risk).

A thorough explanation and demonstration of the rental vehicle will be provided upon pick-up. This orientation, together with completion of the relevant paperwork, requires approximately one hour.

The depot addresses and contact numbers are as follows:
