So this is a personal move, Toronto to BC and I need some assurance in case of breakdown since the truck is used, under 10 years old. It's a 14 or 16 foot diesel cube van and isn't covered by the RV outfits, my auto insurance, CAA, or crap tire. If I could I also might buy extended coverage for a mechanical failure, along with the tow I'd need in the middle of Saskatchewan or wherever. I'd really appreciate anyone's input and experience in this area as we sure can't afford ten grand plus to hire movers and we've already done all the packing ourselves. Probably will sell the truck out there when done. Thanks, Guy.
I work for a car rental company. What ever type of vehicle it is call a dealership and ask for there raodside assistance phone number. Call the number and ask them about travel packages you can buy

Check with the people who rent those kind of vehicles. I am sure they know, now is it a dually? if it isn't call your CAA and find out since I know for sure here AAA would cover all the vehicles with 4 wheels. Now it wouldn't be bad to call your CAA to find out where the truck stops are and if any of them offer road side assitance. Now before you even load the vehicle have it check with a mechanic and run it throught the computer tester, if something is failing it will give your mechanic the codes so it can be fixed. Remember a vehicle doesn't just break in a matter of seconds, it usually give you some simptoms before it does. You can also call your vehicle insurance to see if they can add a breakdown policy to it. Have a nice trip, by the way I work at AAA.

I don't understand why you don't just rent a moving van, I'm sure it is less risky, you may lose money trying to sell the van here. If it were to break down you would get a replacement through the rental company. Also if you do decide to buy a van, consider that it must pass Aircare- it's an emmision standard in BC. No one will buy a van if they know that they'll have to sink a ton of money into it just to be allowed to insure it.
