How to get cheaper deals?

The best tip for getting a cheaper and budget-friendly deal is to research, research and research! One of the best ways to book and receive a discount is online. Many lodgings provide special online promotional rates.

Discounts are given to frequent travellers as well as members who hold an American Automobile Association ( AAA ) or British Columbia Automobile Association ( BCAA ). You can also find discount rates at various promotional books. Ask for group discounts if you are going in a big group of five or ten.

When is Peak or Low Season?

Low season is usually late winter (except for Christmas and Boxing Day week) and late spring so expect low rates. Mid to moderate rates are usually from March to early June and September to October. Peak season is usually in the summer months, from June to September.

Be aware of school breaks as families usually take their holiday during the breaks which means an increase in room rates. It is best to go before or after the school break if possible. You may also want to consider major events that take place during the week or days leading up to any Statutory Holidays such as Victoria Day, Christmas Day, Easter Weekend as rates will undoubtedly soar at this point.

The standard rate for a room tax is about 8%. This tax is applied to hotels, motels, bed and breakfast and other similar accommodations. Additional amounts of up to 2% at the time of writing may be added as municipal and regional district tax. The total tax charge MUST NOT exceed 10%.

Taxes is not required if you sleep in a tent or use a trailer site, is the price of lodging is about $30.00 or $210.00 per week or the accommodations are provided without the usual amenities such as bedding, heat, electricity or indoor plumbing.

Unfortunately, room taxes are non-refundable and may not be claimed from the government even if you are a visitor from another country.
