Get Prepared - Tips for Drivers from the UK

Drive on the Right

Remember, in Canada, we drive on the right-hand side of the road. It may take a little time to adapt, but soon enough you'll be driving like a local.

Choose Your Car Class

For those adventurous at heart, we recommend a SUV or 4WD. In Yukon, where the wildlife outnumbers the people, there are miles of off-road experiences waiting for you.

From Airport to Your Yukon Adventure

Gas Stations

Before the journey, be sure to fill up your tank. With Murphy's Whitehorse gas station just 5 minutes drive from the airport, you're never too far away from a refill.

Accessibility

Whitehorse, with its downtown just a 10-minute drive away, has everything you need from supermarkets to hotels, making it an excellent base for your Yukon adventure.

Money Matters

Currency

The official currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's worthwhile to carry some cash for remote areas and small traders.

Local Climate

Yukon’s climate varies greatly, so be prepared for quick changes. Summer temperatures can reach the mid-20s (°C), while winters are cold, with temperatures often below freezing. Remember, the warmest clothes are those close to the body.

Around Whitehorse

With its world-class fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, Whitehorse offers great excursions. For a unique experience, drive out to see the Northern Lights, a magical natural light display that Yukon is famous for.

Safe travels and adventure awaits!
