cheap camping tents for rent image
Cam
So I'm looking at coming over to canada and travelling around BC for about 2 or 3 weeks during your summer, I will have a mountain bike with me and will need to transport that around with me.
What are your suggestions for cheap methods of transport around BC and what would let me see most of the scenery that I can without spending too much?
Hire Car, campervan, Bus?
Answer
It might not be the cheapest but travelling in your own vehicle is the only realistic way if you want to see a lot of places in BC and take the bike with you. If you want to take a bike on the Greyhound bus, it has to be in a box meant for bicycles, and there's a surcharge for that, $30 no matter how short the trip is. The bus just doesn't go to some places and in others, such as where I am on Vancouver Island, it only goes once a day. That makes scheduling travel a bit complicated.
Whether it's worth hiring a camper is hard to say. They aren't cheap to rent but having one would allow you to camp, which is cheaper than staying in any other kind of accommodation. Campgrounds, which are everywhere, range in price anywhere from free or close to it to $50 for the most expensive ones, averaging around $30 a night. Motels won't be any less than $70 a night, usually more. Of course, renting a smaller vehicle means you can still camp, but then you will need a tent and all the eqiupment. Camper vans usually come with it all built in. And while many people camp all over BC with tents, being inside a vehicle at night is safer, with fewer worries about wildlife getting at your food.

What is a good place to visit for a week without a car in the US?

My friend and I have two free plane tickets, but we are both just under 25 and can't afford to rent a car at the high rates for our age. We are trying to find a place far from South Carolina where we can stay for about a week, camp with a tent, use public transportation, and still see a lot of different things. We were really interested in Yellowstone until we found out there was no public transportation!
Answer
Pigeon Forge and/or Gatlinburg Tennessee, they have trolleys that you can take to get around town. Lots to do, lots to see. Places to camp or stay cheap. Free things to do. Visit Tripadvisor.com, a free site for more info on that or other areas.
