What factors contribute to the surge in demand for RV rentals in Canada, and how do these trends affect different regions?

The rising popularity of domestic travel in Canada, fueled by economic uncertainty and a desire to support local businesses, is straining the capacity of car and RV rental companies. This increased demand, coupled with previous cuts to rental inventories, is resulting in limited vehicle availability, especially in popular tourist destinations like Vancouver, Kelowna, and Halifax, where rental searches have increased by 15 to 20 percent. The impact extends beyond rentals, as flight searches to smaller Canadian cities are also increasing.
