FIFA World Cup 2026 Vancouver — Campervan Rental
Experience the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a Wicked Campervan
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is coming to Vancouver, and there's no better way to experience the beautiful game than from behind the wheel of a campervan. BC Place — located in the heart of downtown Vancouver — will host group-stage matches and knockout rounds between June and July 2026, drawing hundreds of thousands of football fans from around the world.
With hotel prices expected to surge during the tournament, renting a campervan is the smart, affordable alternative. You'll have your accommodation and transport in one, giving you the freedom to explore British Columbia between match days — from the Sea-to-Sky Highway to the Okanagan wine country and beyond.

Can I sleep in my campervan near BC Place during the World Cup?
While overnight parking at BC Place is not permitted, several campgrounds and RV parks within 30–45 minutes of downtown Vancouver offer powered sites. Capilano River RV Park and Burnaby Cariboo RV Park are popular choices.
How early should I book a campervan for the 2026 World Cup?
We strongly recommend booking at least 3–6 months in advance. World Cup events drive huge demand for accommodation in Vancouver, and campervans sell out fast.

Our standard minimum is 5 days, but during peak events we may require a 7-day minimum. Check our bookings page for up-to-date availability.
Can I drive the campervan to other World Cup cities in the US?
Our standard rental agreement covers Canada only. Cross-border travel to US host cities like Seattle requires prior approval and may incur additional fees. Contact us to discuss options.

BC Place has limited oversized-vehicle parking. We recommend using Park & Ride lots along the SkyTrain line (e.g., Bridgeport, King George) and taking transit to the stadium.
