I rented a 24 ft motorhome from Owasco in Whitby, ON several months ago. I chose Owasco because they appeared to be a little bit above the rest in terms of the motorhome quality and equipment. We had an OK experience, but in general I was expecting a bit more. It was really like any other motorhome we have rented in Canada, albeit a bit more expensive. I couldn't really find the basis for their self-attributed 5 stars.
The beddings did not seem very clean and they don't let you use the slide out awning (just to make sure they put tie-wraps on it!). This is just ridiculous for the price we paid. The website also mentioned an outside shower but our unit didn't have that. The interior really looked like someting my grandmother may have enjoyed in 1962, but this appears to be a common thing in North America. Lastly, but this is like most motorhome rental companies, they will want to know the amount of miles you're going to drive so that they can charge you extra if you drive less and also charge you extra if you drive more. When handing in the motorhome I asked about this, and the lady at the counter started explaining in a condescending manner that we cant sell these miles twice and you should be knowing where youre going up front'. Hmm, I wonder if the extra miles I paid were deducted on the next person's invoice??( and why this is not a problem when I rent a car). Funny enough, a poster behind her said experience the freedom of renting a motorhome. What a bad way to end our vacation in beautiful Ontario! read more
