By booking a stay with Road Trip Bus Canada, you accept the terms and conditions.

• How can I pay for my reservation online?

You can pay using Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards.

• What is the minimum age to book?

You can book the bus from 18 years old.

• Can I cancel my vacation?

Yes, the cancellation fees are as follows:
– More than 6 weeks before departure: 10% of the total,
– Less than 6 weeks before departure: 30% of the total,
– Less than 3 weeks before departure: 50% of the total,
– Less than 2 weeks before departure: 75% of the total,
– Less than a week or no show: 100% of the total.

• Can I change the date of my vacation?

Yes, up to one month before departure, if the new date and location are still available: $50.

• Can I extend my stay?

No, you can not because the routes are already planned with a fixed duration (7 days or 14 days).

• Can I use unlimited electricity?

If we are connected to the electricity grid, electricity can be used indefinitely depending on the location. However, we will sometimes have to feed everything only to solar energy. When we depend solely on solar energy, electricity will be limited and, in the worst case, you may need to charge your laptop or phone in a bar. In general, when the sun is shining, we can use 110V outlets all the time. At night, the number of shots will be limited to 12 V, which allows charging your phone for example.

• Can I use the kitchen?

You can use the kitchen to make coffee or tea all day and to cook. However, as space is limited, not everyone will be able to use the kitchen at the same time. In the majority of the time, we will try to cook for everyone at the same time, which is more user friendly too!

• What does limited WiFi mean?

We have an Internet modem on board, providing us a few GB per month (if we have network coverage, since we will be parked in remote locations, this is not always guaranteed). It should be powerful enough to check your email / Facebook, but not enough to stream videos, download or Skype.
Play for the past, not for the future. Enjoy the time on the bus without the complications of modernity. Play an instrument, read a book, write a letter or better, enjoy the nature around us!

• Do I have to return to the bus before a specific time of the night?

No, we simply expect you to respect the sleeping needs of other nomads.

• Can I smoke on the bus?

No you can not. You can easily go out and smoke there of course.

• Can I bring my children?

Yes you can, please contact us in advance.

• Can I bring a pet?

For the moment, it’s not possible, but it’s under discussion.

• What kind of dog do you have?

Our dog is called Buslife, a female Boston Terrier who started at the age of 2 months to travel on the bus. His fur is short, which means he does not moult too much and feels very little when he comes in from the rain. She likes to play for hours. However, it does not need to be exercised excessively. This adorable and affectionate dog likes to be with his “family”. In a nutshell: A down-to-earth dog that will give his owners a lot of joy and few problems. It adapts easily to new circumstances and we promise you will love it!

• Can I get on the bus during the day when everyone is outside?

No, you can not because the bus will be locked. However, it will be possible to access it by making the request and being accompanied.

• Will the bus be hot enough?

Yes, there will be a 18,000 BTU wood stove and two 4000 MW (13,500 BTUs) Espar diesel heaters. It is also insulated with 2 “thick urethane giclée.

Yes, and if we can not provide you with the necessary medical equipment, we will help you find a good doctor.

• What kind of coverage do I get?

A down duvet will be at your disposal.

• Can I relax on the roof?

Yes, the bus can also be used as a deck with camping chairs.

• How do dry toilets work and smell?

The key lies in the simplicity of this toilet. We use wood pellets that absorb the liquid enormously and produce no odor.

• What to do if there is no sun for the solar system?

We have a 3500W generator, ample enough to hold weeks! Or, if possible, we will look for a building where we can connect the bus to electricity.

• Is there a shower and toilet on the bus?

Yes, there is a shower, a dry toilet and a sink.
The bus is equipped with a 100 gallon clean water tank (approximately 380 liters), which will be enough to take a shower per person per day. Thanks to the many campsites or other water supply sites, it will be easy to fill up if necessary.
But please respect the bus situation and take small showers.
