Tips for British Vacationers

Driving In Victoria

Driving in Canada might be different to what you're used to in the UK. Canadians drive on the right-hand side of the road, unlike in the UK where you drive on the left. The speed limit in the city is typically 50 km/h, unless otherwise posted. In British Columbia, it's unlawful to use a mobile phone while driving, unless it's a hands-free device.

Currency

The official currency in Victoria, like the rest of Canada, is the Canadian Dollar (CAD), not the British Pound. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, and ATMs are readily available. It's always useful to have a small amount of local currency for parking meters or small purchases, though.

Climate

Victoria is home to the mildest climate in Canada, with wet winters and dry summers. Be sure to consider the season during your visit. Raincoats and umbrellas are certainly a good idea during the winter months, while sun cream and hats are advised during the summer.

Culture and People

Renowned for its friendly locals, Victoria's residents are welcoming and proud of their city's heritage. English is the most spoken language, making communication hassle-free for British travellers. Intermingling with the locals at one of the numerous festivals that take place throughout the year is a great way to really immerse yourself in the local culture.

Parking and Public Transport

In Victoria, both on-street and off-street parking options are available. Pay attention to parking signs to avoid fines. For those who'd like a break from driving, Victoria offers various public transportation options, including buses, taxis, and ferries.

Choice of Cars and Rental Services

Rental cars are available in a wide range of models, from compact cars to SUVs, catering to individual preferences and needs. Many international car rental firms operate in Victoria, and counters can be found at the airport and downtown. Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Top Attractions

Your travel itinerary isn't complete without a visit to the Butchart Gardens, Royal BC Museum, and the historic Victoria Harbour. Plan your route in advance to cover the most ground and be sure to spare some time for a coastal drive along Dallas Road.

Make the Most of Your Victoria Experience

Armed with a rental car, the liberty of exploring Victoria at your own pace is certainly a luxury. It's time to buckle up, start the engine, and embark on your Victoria journey.
