Top tips for renting a car in British Columbia

  • To rent a car while in British Columbia, there are a couple of required documents, including a legitimate driver’s license with a photo and a credit card. Your driver’s license will be used to check your driving record, while your credit card will be checked to see if you can indeed pay the rental fees. Without these documents, you’ll be unable to rent a car from any British Columbia car rentals.
  • Once you’ve identified a suitable car rental company, you should then identify an appropriate car. When looking for a rental car, you should consider the number of people you’ll be traveling with. For example, if you plan on traveling to British Columbia with six or more family members or friends, renting a passenger van would be advisable. If, however, you plan on traveling to British Columbia with just your partner, renting a standard car would be advisable. When looking for a rental car, you should also consider the destinations you intend to visit. If you’ll be driving to destinations accessible only via rough roads, you should consider renting an SUV, but if you intend to stick to areas with paved roads, renting a standard rental car would be sensible.
  • British Columbia has a reputation for being quite warm in the summer, so if you’re traveling in this province during the warm summer months, make sure that your rental car has a modern and optimally functioning air conditioner. Additionally, before settling on a particular rental car, you should ensure that you’re familiar with its controls. Cars manufactured by different companies can have very different controls, so if you select a car with familiar controls, you’ll find it easy to operate, ensuring optimal safety and comfort on the road.
  • If you’d like to rent a car when traveling with your kids, you should contact the car rental company and request that they install child seats because in British Columbia, the law requires that all children below twelve years must be secured in appropriate child seats. British Columbia’s authorities have a reputation for being stern enforcers of rules. To avoid any issues with them, adhering to this rule, as well as all the other traffic rules in the region, would be wise.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in British Columbia for C$ 35 or less
  • Book your rental car in British Columbia at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in British Columbia are around 73% cheaper than other car types, on average
