If you want your Moturis motorhome rental to include any of the following, you should order such items upon placing a reservation. (Availability of the items cannot be guaranteed unless they are pre-ordered, i.e. booked before the pick-up day.) Our online order software will prompt you in this regard. The cost of any pre-booked items is not subject to tax.

IMPORTANT: Canadian residents are not permitted by Canada to rent a motorhome in the USA to travel in Canada. A similar restriction applies to Mexican residents renting in the USA and wanting to travel in Mexico.

  • shuttle transfer is available in connection with all the Moturis depots.

  • shuttle transfer to a participating Moturis rental depot is offered at 7:30 am only — exceptions are listed separately with the transfer hotel information — but it is only available from designated transfer hotels. Clients opting for shuttle transfer should book it no later than three working days prior to the transfer occasion, ideally when placing the rental booking. The shuttle is free of charge. The complimentary permitted amount of luggage the shuttle will take is in accordance with the airline regulations: two suitcases weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kilograms) plus two pieces of hand luggage per person. Excessive luggage is the client's responsibility. … Note: for motorhome travel soft-sided or collapsable bags are the best sort to use.

  • mileage package: The IdeaMerge online reservation software will determine and suggest to you the optimal mileage/km solution for the number of miles/kms you plan to drive. Each rental night includes 60 miles (100 km) by default. This figure can be increased by pre-booking a 40-, 90- or 140-mile nightly mileage addendum, as follows, wherein the slash ("/") indicates a price increase as of 1 April 2013:

    all vehicle groups
    + 60 miles a night:included in nightly rate
    + 40 miles = 100 miles a night:US$ 13/14 a night
    + 90 miles = 150 miles a night:US$ 28/31 a night
     + 140 miles = 200 miles a night:US$ 41/45 a night

    These figures include tax. You cannot purchase these options upon the pick-up occasion. UNLIMITED MILES are offered by Moturis but only as part of the "super all-inclusive" package detailed below. Based on your rental duration, the options you select, and the miles you say you expect to drive, the IdeaMerge software will determine whether that super all-inclusive supplement is the best deal for you.

    Upon the return occasion miles beyond any pre-booked number are charged at US$ 0.40 per mile, plus tax; i.e. at a premium of well over 10%.

Reduces to US$ 1000 the underlying US$ 2500 deductible/excess applying to accidental damage to the vehicle and also reduces to US$ 1000 said deductible/excess insofar as it applies to theft of and vandalism to the vehicle; and generally relative to mechanical breakdown (but not accident) requiring the vehicle to be in repair for more than 12 working hours, it provides US$ 30 per person per day for lodging and US$ 30 per group per day for other transportation, the limit of these payouts being altogether US$ 3000 per rental, and the payouts being contingent upon client's presentation of receipts.

    • * Child safety and booster seats:

    We can address these safety devices in terms of law or, more wisely, in terms of one or another more general and more conservative (i.e. child-conserving) consensus about child safety. Nevertheless please note that IdeaMerge is neither obligated nor qualified to present to clients nor to the general public the full set of relative laws nor the letter of those individual laws; the comments below, whether about law or consensus are merely intended to indicate the nature of the general issue of child motor vehicle safety. In many cases (such as Canada and the United States) the law applies based on the state, province or territory in which the vehicle is registered or in which a particular rental commences. In Canada such law is strictest in Quebec and in Ontario. Which is to say, these are the only provincial units in Canada that require booster seats. The general North American consensus considers booster seats necessary for children weighing 18–36 kg (40–80 lbs), forward-facing safety seats necessary for children weighing 9–18 kg (20–40 lbs), and rear-facing infant seats necessary for children weighing up to 9 kg (20 lbs). Age-wise these ranges correspond to 4.5 years through 7 years, 1 year up to 4.5 years, and 0 years up to 1 year. In Germany, however, the high-end figure is more conservative, in the sense noted above. German law puts this figure at up to 12 years or up to 1.5 m tall; French law puts it at up to 10 years. In Ontario a child need not use a safety seat if (a) his/her weight is over 36 kg (40 lbs) or (b) his/her age is over 8 years (i.e. he/she has turned 8 years old) or (c) his/her height is over 1.45 m (4 ft. 9 in.).… Generally a rear-facing safety seat should not be used in a seat equipped with a functional frontal airbag. Also generally speaking, children under 12 years old should sit in a rear seat.… In the context of the whole IdeaMerge Website it is appropriate to address a few more specific cases. The state of Washington in the USA is relatively strict: children up to 1 year old or less than 20 lbs must be seated in a rear-facing infant seat; children from 1 year old through 3 years old or 20–40 lbs must be seated in a forward-facing child seat; and children from 4 years old through 5 years old or 40–60 lbs must be seated in a booster seat (in the rear if the front passenger seat is equipped with an airbag). In the state of Oregon children from 0 through 3 years old or less than 40 lbs must be seated in a child seat, and children 4 years old through 5 years old or 40–60 lbs must be seated in a booster seat. In the state of California, children from 0 through 5 years old or less than 60 lbs must be seated in an appropriate child seat, perhaps a booster seat. In the state of Nevada children from 0 through 3 years old or weighing less than 40 lbs must be seated in a child seat. In the state of Colorado, children from 0 up to 1 year old or weighing less than 20 lbs must be seated in a rear-facing child seat; children from 1 year through 3 years old or 20–40 lbs must be seated in a front-facing child seat; and children from 4 through 5 years or less than 55 in. tall must be seated in a booster seat. In the state of New Jersey, a child 0 through 17 months old must be seated in a child seat; a child 18 months through 4 years old must be seated in a child seat if riding in front; and a child less than 8 years old or less than 80 lbs should sit in the rear, if rear seating is available.… In Australia a child from 0 up to 1 year old must be seated in a child seat, and this seat must be fitted with a top tether that is in turn attached to a suitable mounting point on the vehicle; other constraints apply per territory, but the general rules noted above should nevertheless be applied and are typically indicated by vehicle rental vendors. In New Zealand a child from 0 through 4 years old must be seated in an appropriate safety seat; a child from 5 through 7 years old must if seated in front be seated in a booster seat or, we are told, secured with an adult safety belt (although this latter option seems too lax); and again the general rules noted above should neverthless be applied and are typically indicated by vehicle rental vendors.
