Guide to driving your RV in Edmonton
We maintain that a safe and incident-free trip is the best kind of road trip. To help you achieve that, we have put together some tips and tricks to read before you embark on an RV rental adventure from Edmonton. Arm yourself with some knowledge of the local customs and road rules!
- In Canada, you must always drive on the right! If you are not accustomed to this road layout, you should take some time to acclimatize.
- Distances are posted in kilometres and speeds are posted in kilometres per hour. The default maximum speed limit on urban roads in Alberta is 50 kilometres per hour. Highway speed limits generally range from 80 to 100 kph. Always check the posted signs!
- On tighter urban streets, always be aware of the size of your motorhome and drive accordingly. When entering a parking building, check the height restriction.
- If you’re heading into remote prairie or mountain regions watch out for wildlife on the roads, particularly at dusk or dawn. A moose can do some serious damage even to a large vehicle.
- Legal consequences for drivers under the influence of alcohol in Alberta start at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05%. This is very low; we highly recommend abstaining entirely from alcohol before driving.
- If you are renting an RV during winter, we recommend asking your rental supplier whether the vehicle will be equipped with winter tires. These are not legally mandated but offer additional traction in wet or snowy conditions.
- Are RV rentals pet-friendly? Yes, generally, you can bring your fur babies, but please double-check with your chosen supplier if there is an extra fee for pets.
- Edmonton has some campgrounds and RV parks such as Glowing Embers RV Park, Memory Lane Campground and RV Park, or North Saskatchewan River Valley to make you feel comfortable if you want a good night's rest.
Our number one tip for renters is simply to listen carefully during their orientation to the vehicle. The depot staff will know how to operate your specific motorhome, so take advantage of their knowledge! Take notes and ask questions.
