Car Rentals in Alberta

Driving conditions in Alberta are ideal, even for first timers. If you're driving into the province from Montana, driving across the border is quick and easy. Alberta highways are not too busy, and signage is clear. Construction work is minimal along roadways and rarely causes long backups. Drive-by-wire technology has been introduced in Alberta, and the province is now among the first in North America with this technology. Across most of Alberta, you'll also find an additional lane that's dedicated as a passing lane for vehicles going faster than the speed limit, which makes it that much easier to pass slower traffic, if necessary. When you’re booking a car rental, you can choose the vehicle type depending on the season. In the summer months, you'll want a vehicle that's not prone to overheating in hot weather, whereas, in winter, you want a vehicle with good traction, since wintry weather can mean snow storms and icy roads.

If you're over 18, have a valid driver’s license from your country of residence, and are legally allowed to drive rental vehicles in your home country, then it's usually as simple as providing your driver’s license upon rental and you'll be on your way. Other notable traffic laws you should be aware of include not passing on the right, no left turns or u-turns between certain hours, and a ban on texting while driving. In Alberta, and all of Canada, you drive on the right side of the road.
