Car Rental at Vancouver International Airport

If you want the freedom to explore at your own pace, renting a car is a great choice. There are several car rental agencies located conveniently right at the airport, including well-known brands such as Avis, Budget, Hertz, Dollar, and Enterprise. Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Drive on the right: Unlike in the UK, Canadians drive on the right-hand side of the road. Roundabouts are less common, and road signs are in both English and French.
  • Rental rates: Just like in the UK, rental rates can vary based on factors such as car class, length of rental, and additional features. Be sure to check your rental agreement carefully for any extra charges.

Navigating around Vancouver

Navigating Vancouver by car can be a pleasure, offering the flexibility to explore both downtown and the surrounding nature. The city is laid out in a grid pattern, with streets running north-south and avenues east-west, making it relatively straightforward to navigate. Local tip: remember to keep some loose change for any toll booths or parking meters.

Fill up on Fuel

For those renting a car, it's handy to know that petrol stations can be easily found around Vancouver. Depending on your rental agreement, you may need to return your rental car with a full tank of fuel. Fuel prices in Canada can fluctuate, but they are typically cheaper than in the UK.

Weather in Vancouver

Unlike the unpredictable British weather, Vancouver’s climate is quite mild by Canadian standards. The city is in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT -8) and has a primarily marine west coast climate. This means milder winters and moderate, dry summers with less rainfall than you might be used to in the UK.

Local Currency and Money Matters

The official currency in Canada is the Canadian dollar (CAD), and major credit cards are widely accepted. But, it's always a good idea to have some cash on hand, for smaller establishments or tipping

Enrich your trip: Nearby Cities

Your Canadian adventure doesn't have to stop in Vancouver. Take advantage of your rental car to explore the gems of British Columbia. Nearby Whistler is a must-visit, especially for skiing or snowboarding enthusiasts. Additionally, the historic Victoria on Vancouver Island is just a ferry trip away.

Dive into all that Vancouver and British Columbia has to offer, and don't forget: your journey starts with choosing the right rental car for your needs at Vancouver International Airport.
