A car is often the only way to reach the spectacular destinations which Canada is famous for. Most major car rental panies have offices at airports, towns and cities across the country. What do you need in order to rent a car in Canada? ● Valid Driver39。s license and International Driver39。s Permit if your license is not in English or French. ● When picking up your car, you may have to show your passport and a return airline ticket. ● Credit Card for the deposit—Renting a car in Canada without a credit card is impossible. FlyDrive Packages from Home You may get the best deal on car rental if you book a flydrive package from home or if you book a long time in advance. Rental coast varies to a great extent, depending on the time of year, type of vehicle and length of rental. Minimum Age The driver has to be at least 21 years old and have a minimum of 12 months of driving experience in order to rent a car in Canada. A Young Renter Fee will be applied to your car rental, if you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and will be charged on top of the rental rate. Insurance Most car rental panies in Canada offer a collision damage waiver (CDW) for an additional charge. Some credit card panies include CDW insurance on car rentals when you use their cards to pay for the rental. Check your credit card39。s terms and conditions. Fuel and Service Stations Most rental cars use unleaded gas. Remember, driving distances in Canada are long and a large amount of your vacation budget will go towards gasoline. Filling up in larger cities is usually cheaper than in small towns. If you are heading up to the Northwest Territories, gas prices will be much higher than in the south. CrossBorder Travel Some rental panies don39。t allow their cars to drive across borders, like from Canada to the US or across provinces. If this is the case, watch out。 GPS may be used to track your route.（1）You39。ll have to pay extra fees for your car rental in Canada if you .
