Car hire in Canada is similar to that in most other modern countries, with many different choices of companies, vehicles, and rental packages. Many of the most familiar names in car hire, such as Avis, Budget, and Hertz, offer services across and throughout Canada. When hiring a car from nearly any provider you will need your driver's license, proof of insurance, and some knowledge of driving rules and laws in the province(s) where you will be driving.
In Canada, common rules of the road include:
- Drive on the right side of the road
- Everyone in the car must wear a seat belt
- Young children should be in car seats, and all children under the age of 12 should sit in the back seat
- Watch and obey posted speed limits, as they may vary from town to town
If you have other questions or would like more information, check with the car hire company because they most likely have a printed guide for travelers to read and keep handy. |
