Important information about Vancouver car rentals

Your trip to Vancouver won’t be the same without making it to the iconic Stanley Park or driving over Lions Gate Bridge. Vancouver car rentals could help you get to all your destinations comfortably. Most car rentals in Vancouver can be found along the I-99 as well as the I-1A towards the West End. Finding cheap car rentals in Vancouver is possible. There are about 20 known agencies with multiple car rental locations in Vancouver. Parking isn’t too difficult since there are plenty of parking garages throughout the city. You’d have to get lucky to find free parking, but on-street parking is also possible though generally have limits. When parking on-street, beware of areas that are for permit holders only.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Vancouver?

You won’t have to worry about parking your rental car in Vancouver if you locate one of the many parking garages around the city. When driving downtown you’ll want to avoid Granville St and W Georgia St, both notoriously busy. You can leave your Vancouver car rental and walk around the city sights and still be able to reach Queen Elizabeth Park or walk over the suspension bridge in Lynn Canyon Park driving less than an hour. Driving makes it much easier to get to your favorite spots and you can even take it on a ferry to see Vancouver Island. British Columbia is known for its beautiful scenery. Vancouver car rentals would allow you to enjoy some of the scenic drives, like Sea-to-Sky along the water.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Vancouver?

When renting a car in Vancouver, you must remember Canada uses the metric system, so the signs will be in kilometers and speed will be indicated in kilometers per hour. Another law to remember while driving in Vancouver is that headlights must always be on. There are some "no turn" signs downtown you will want to watch out for, especially during rush hour. Vancouver is very bike-oriented, so be mindful of cyclists and the bike lanes marked with green paint. Something you may find new are blinking green lights. These lights are present at pedestrian-controlled intersections and you should drive through them cautiously. If you’re planning on having a drink, we suggest you don’t drive and take advantage of the close walking distances downtown.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Vancouver if I’m visiting from another country?

Car rentals in Vancouver require you to have a valid driver’s license no matter your country of origin. If your driver’s license is not in English or French it’s recommended, but not required, you present an International Driver’s Permit translating your country’s document. If you’re getting a rental car in Vancouver with a foreign driver’s license, they may also request a second form of ID like a passport.
