What are the driving conditions like in British Columbia?
British Columbia is ideal for those who enjoy the great outdoors. From climbing the Rocky Mountains to chasing the Northern Lights and seeing the Spirit Bear, British Columbia (BC) is full of adventures. But when booking a car rental, you have to stay safe. Winter in BC is usually marked by ice, snowfall, and slush. In the winter months, drivers will be required to use winter tires and chains. Failure to do so may lead to a hefty fine or an accident. You’ll also be required to keep your vehicle lights on for visibility and drive slowly for safety. Most people in BC avoid going out on the road at such times. The best time to visit BC is summer, but you'll still have to keep an eye out for animals, crowds, cyclists, children, and construction workers.
What driving laws should I be aware of while in British Columbia?
The roads of BC usually have static message signs and digital message signs. The former alerts the driver that they’re about to enter a variable speed zone, while the latter alerts them of weather conditions. You’ll want to adhere to the posted speed signs or you may face a hefty penalty. In winter weather, some roads have signs that require you to use chains or winter tires. Every seat in your rental car must have a seatbelt, and every single passenger must wear a seatbelt. You’re also expected to share the road with cyclists and drive slowly to avoid pedestrians. Avoid making U-turns at intersections, and always drive on the right side. Always check with the local department of motor vehicles for any recent law changes.
What type of documentation do I need to rent a car in British Columbia?
If your driver's license is not in French or English, you will need an International Driver's permit (IDL). Once you've procured your IDL, you’ll also need your driver's license to book a car rental. There are many cheap car rentals in Canada, but you cannot book without a credit card, and if the name on your credit card and driver's license doesn't match, you'll be unable to rent. Even if you have all the proper documents, you may also have to show your return airline ticket and passport in order to pick up your rental car.
