Car rentals in Vancouver are a convenient way to explore all of the nearby attractions both within the city limits and in the surrounding region. Head to the charming towns of Salmon Creek and Portland, which are easy to reach from Vancouver if you opt to drive. If you enjoy hiking, you will want to go to the scenic Frenchman's Bar Hiking Trail, which is approximately a 20min drive from the city.
If you will be flying into the city, you have the option of picking up Vancouver car rentals directly from Portland International Airport. Simply head to the airport’s car rental center, which can conveniently be found on the first level of the short-term parking garage. As it is such a short walking distance from the airport’s main building, you will not need to take a shuttle or taxi. There are a few different rental companies that can be found here, including Avis, Enterprise, and National.
Vancouver is known for having a high volume of pedestrians, so always be on the lookout when you are driving. Pedestrian crossing areas are not always clearly marked, so you will want to drive extra cautiously, particularly when you are downtown. If you are in an intersection and the green light is blinking, this is a signal that a pedestrian may be crossing and that you should drive slowly. The city is also home to many cyclists, so keep your eyes open for bike lanes to ensure that you are not driving in them.
The city has become known for having a high level of traffic, particularly along the main roads and including highways 5 and 205. If you don’t want to risk getting caught in a traffic jam, avoid driving along these roads during rush hour, which is considered to be from 9:30am to 10:30am and from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. There is often snow and ice in Vancouver during winter months, so make sure to reduce your speed if this is the case, as well as outfit your vehicle with appropriate winter gear.
When driving in your cheap car rental in Vancouver, be extremely cautious as the high levels of traffic in the city have made its intersections particularly risky, especially for visitors. The riskiest intersection in the town is that of Chkalov Drive and Mill Plain Boulevard, which is one of the most used intersections due to its location right off the exit ramps of the I-205. When driving your Vancouver car rental, use the onboard or your GPS to check out traffic updates and pass through the town’s intersections when there is minimal traffic.
All infants in Vancouver are required to be seated in rear-facing car seats until they reach between 40lbs to 50lbs. Children heavier than 50lbs should be safely secured in forward-facing car seats in the back seat of the car. Older children who are no longer able to use the forward-facing car seat should be placed in booster seats, which must be used alongside a shoulder and lap belt. If traveling with children, check with your car rental company to confirm whether they provide car seats for your cheap car rental in Vancouver. If not, feel free to use any of the car seat rental services available in town.
Users of Vancouver car rentals are not required to have rental car insurance as most car rental companies include a basic automotive insurance policy in the car rental contract. The state of Washington requires the basic contract to have a minimum liability insurance policy that covers both property damage liability and bodily injury liability. If you have a personal automotive policy that includes additional coverage, such as comprehensive insurance, your rental car will be incorporated into the policy. However, you can also purchase separate insurance coverage from the rental company for greater confidence and protection.
