The spring sun had just begun to shine over Calgary, Alberta when Cruise Canada first opened its doors to travelers in 1988. The first Canadian location of Arizona-based Cruise America RV Rental and Sales, the Calgary RV rental office featured a fleet of just 100 vehicles available for short- and long-term rental.

But after two decades in the Canadian motorhome rental business and more than 75,000 rentals under its belt, Cruise Canada has plenty of reasons to celebrate its 20th anniversary this month -- including healthy growth, a thriving RV rental market and new lower prices on many used RVs for sale, including many at just $23,000, their lowest price ever.

Cruise Canada quickly expanded in its first years, adding RV rental centers in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal in 1989. The company has since added locations in Halifax and Whitehorse. Today more than 5,000 RV rentals are completed each year, bringing the thrill of the driver's seat to outdoor enthusiasts, sports fans, road trippers and others throughout Canada.

While the company now offers rentals across the country, trips in the Canadian Rockies near Calgary -- such as famed Banff National Park -- are still some of the most popular destinations among Cruise Canada customers. Other common vacation spots include Drumheller Valley, home of the Canadian Badlands and incredible prehistoric dinosaur fossils, and Niagara Falls, the massive waterfalls that straddle the border between Upstate New York and Ontario. Coast-bound travelers also flock to the Pacific Ocean and Vancouver Island on the West Coast, or the Maritimes along Canada's Eastern Seaboard.

The company's RV rentals and used motorhomes for sale in Canada are available in compact, standard and large sizes, sleeping four to seven people and offering a kitchen, bathroom and living area. In addition to Cruise Canada's six locations, RV enthusiasts in the U.S. can visit one of Cruise America's more than 130 RV rental and sales centers at locations across the country.
