No – our protections cover vehicle-related incidents only.

Pick-up and return take place at the branch selected during your booking (Montréal or Québec City).

The exact address is indicated on your rental contract sent by email.

Make sure to select the correct branch during booking, as this automatically determines your pick-up and return location.

This choice must be confirmed before departure.
Planning ahead allows you to fully enjoy your road trip without worrying about the return.

By confirming the time in advance, we also avoid having to contact you during your stay (because all good things must come to an end 😉) and this allows us to plan the team and vehicle preparations properly.

Our branches are easily accessible by public transit, taxi or Uber.

Detailed instructions will be sent to you by email before your arrival.

Yes, absolutely.

However, we recommend planning a first stop near the branch to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and equipment.

Most campgrounds offer sanitary facilities, and public restrooms are easy to find in parks, gas stations and rest areas.

This allows us to keep our vehicles compact, affordable and easy to drive.

Not sure what to bring? Here’s a helpful checklist so you pack only the essentials while keeping space for souvenirs.

Minivan (indoor bed)

• Standard mattress: 69 x 48 inches (175 x 122 cm)
• Maximum length: 75 inches (190 cm) when front seats are moved forward.

Rooftop tent

• Size: 81 x 55 inches (208 x 140 cm)

Yes – BUT we strongly recommend that you travel light and opt for soft-sided bags to make the most of the space.

Here are the internal dimensions of the compartments where you can store your personal belongings:

• Front module: 20 x 22 x 10 inches (50.8 x 55.88 x 25.4 cm)
• Rear module: 46 x 26 x 9.5 inches (116.84 x 66.04 x 24.13 cm)
• Space between modules: 19.5 inches (49.53 cm)
  

If needed, you can leave your luggage at the branch free of charge during your road trip.

Yes – all vehicles include:

• USB ports
• USB-C ports
• 12V outlet

Note: the cooler uses the 12V outlet.

A portable battery is available with the “Connected Kit option“.

Yes – child seats may be available depending on availability.

You can also install your own compatible seat using ISOFIX anchors.

For insurance reasons, installation must be done by travellers, but we can guide you on site if needed.

It depends on their age – for safety reasons, we do not recommend that children under 5 years old sleep alone in the rooftop tent. It is preferable that an adult accompanies them.

Some families choose to have one parent sleep in the rooftop tent with the child while the other parent sleeps inside the van. This setup allows everyone to have their own space and often provides a better night’s sleep for the person inside the vehicle.

Fuel consumption varies depending on driving style and itinerary. Here are, however, some average figures (for guidance only):

Converted minivan

• City: ~12 L / 100 km
  
• Highway: ~8.5 L / 100 km
  
• Range per tank: ~700 km

A full tank (regular gasoline E87) costs approximately $100–105 CAD depending on fuel prices.

Converted SUV

• City: ~9 L / 100 km
  
• Highway: ~7 L / 100 km
  
• Range: ~700 km

Average full tank cost: $87–90 CAD.

Our Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid combines a gasoline engine and electric motor.

• Electric range: ~50 km
• Total range: ~800 km per tank

Charging is possible on Level 1 or Level 2 chargers widely available in Québec.

You can still drive without charging, the gasoline engine takes over automatically.

Baroudeur tip: recharge while hiking or visiting an attraction to save fuel.

No – our vans are designed to be fully autonomous, so you don’t need powered campsites.

The cooler runs while the vehicle is driving. During longer stops, a simple bag of ice keeps food cold.

You stay flexible, autonomous and free in your itinerary.

It depends on the season.

Between mid-July and mid-August, we recommend booking some popular campgrounds and your first night in advance.

During the rest of the season, it’s not necessary to reserve every night unless you have specific locations in mind.

At other times, it is also possible to camp outside of campsites (where permitted).

Our roadbook will provide tips and resources to help you plan your nights.

Good news: our campervans are accepted on most tent campsites.

Just make sure:

• vehicles are allowed on the site (especially in Sépaq or Parks Canada parks)
• the access road is suitable

As our campervans don’t require any special utilities (water or electricity), you can usually avoid campsites with facilities, which are often more expensive.

The cool box works whilst the vehicle is running. During long stops, a simple bag of ice (available at most campsites) will keep your food cool without any hassle.

If you are unsure, we recommend that you contact the campsite directly to confirm availability and the type of pitch.

Vehicle dimensions:

• Minivan: 17 feet (518 cm)
• Ready-to-camp SUV: 15 feet (457 cm)
