My $1/day Campervan Rental Experience (Feat. Imoova.com)

Hi everyone!

We're a couple in our 40s who quit our jobs and are traveling the world.

Today, we want to share our experience using a $1 campervan during our trip in Canada.

For the video version of our trip, please check out our YouTube below.

🚐 Why are $1 Campervan Rentals Possible?

When you hear '$1 campervan', some of you might be thinking, 'Is this a scam?' This program is offered for the purpose of relocating campervans from areas with low demand to areas with high demand (Relocation). Instead of spending money to move the campervans using staff or transport vehicles, they offer campervans to travelers or people who want to experience campervanning at a low price ($1).

✨ Recommended Site - Imoova.com

If you search for 'Relocation Rental Car' on Google, you'll find a few sites. We used the site https://www.imoova.com because it had the most available deals. As you can see on the site, they have deals in regions with high campervan travel demand like Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, and Europe.

🔑 Key Features and Restrictions

There are conditions you absolutely must know before using a $1 deal: - Deals usually pop up close to the departure date, so it's best suited for those with flexible travel plans. - Each deal has a set rental period, but some options allow you to extend the rental period for an additional fee. (However, extensions often incur the normal rental rate). - In special cases, some deals might offer fuel or ferry ticket reimbursements. - Additionally, there's a booking fee (approx. $49) and a separate deposit required by this site (Imoova.com). - Also, insurance is often only the most basic coverage. You can purchase full coverage through the rental car company, but it's quite expensive. (To save on insurance costs, we recommend getting insurance through a third-party car insurance company like https://www.rentalcover.com).

🚙 Things to Consider When Renting a Campervan

If you're planning to rent a campervan overseas, here are some tips: - Bedding, kitchenware, etc., are often not included. In such cases, it's cheaper to buy new items at Walmart or a large supermarket after renting the vehicle than to rent them. Sometimes, campervan companies have donated items from previous users. It's a good idea to grab these before you leave. - The amount of electricity and clean water you can use in a campervan isn't a lot, so consider charging batteries and refilling water at rest stops or campgrounds in between. It's also helpful to know the locations of dump stations where you can empty your waste (black/gray water).

We hope this post is helpful for those considering a campervan trip. Thanks for reading!
