Travelers’ preferences and needs provide the basis for car type recommendations when traveling in Banff. Compact cars like sedans make maneuvering and navigating narrow mountain roads easy due to their compact size. All-wheel drives (AWD) vehicles are suitable for Banffs mountainous terrain and during winter seasons. AWD vehicles transmit power to all four wheels hence firm grip and control on slippery surfaces. SUV vehicles are more suitable for off-road ventures as they have more traction and high ground clearance.

Bow Valley Parkway (HWY 1A) has a speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph). Driving above the speed limit attracts a heavy fine or penalty. It is important to adjust your speed according to weather, traffic, and road conditions. Road signs in Banff are written in English, as more than 90% of Banff residents are English speakers.
Banff offers several parking options within the town center, providing easy access to attraction sites, shops, and restaurants. For non-local visitors, pay parking is available in Banff’s downtown, which is ideal for short-term parking.

Pros:
It took a while to get used to the car's buttons but it was a very good and clean car. The second person I spoke to who brought the car keys to the railroad station was very helpful and clear on return instructions. The return went very smoothly.Cons:
The 1st person I spoke to on ten (10) calls repeatedly gave me wrong directions for RR station pickup. I said repeatedly that I had was having trouble with phone reception but he kept saying "Call me when you get there." Also they didn't answer phones between 11:30am & 1pm on pick up or return days.10.0 Wonderful
