Tips for renting a car in Vancouver

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Vancouver including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 12 June 2025.
  • Keep in mind that in Vancouver, any person operating a rental vehicle with a child between the ages of 3 to 8 must utilize safety child seats. Therefore, make sure to ask for an infant carrier seat if you intend to rent a car from your preferred rental business in Vancouver.
  • To get to most of Vancouver's destinations, you can book a car of your choosing. The most practical method of navigating Vancouver's congested streets may be to drive a smaller automobile. A wonderful option for family outings to nearby communities, like the Village of Anmore, Village of Belcarra, or the City of Burnaby that are only a short drive away in an SUV or double cabin pickup with plenty of storage space and seating.
  • To obtain a car rental in Vancouver, renters must be at least 20 years old. Drivers under the age of 25 are subject to an additional underage surcharge. If you're under 20 and require a hire vehicle in Vancouver for military or even government duty, the majority of firms won't charge you an additional cost and will just let you use one of their vehicles.
  • Vancouver's climate is known for being mild but rainy, especially during the fall and winter months. When driving in wet conditions, it's important to keep your headlights on, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, and reduce your speed to accommodate for reduced traction. In the winter, although heavy snow is rare in the city itself, it can occur, and roads can become slippery. Use winter tires if you're driving in the surrounding mountains or areas with more severe winter conditions. Be mindful of the frequent fog, which can significantly reduce visibility, particularly in areas near the water.
  • Vancouver is a bustling city with a diverse mix of urban streets and scenic routes. The downtown area is known for its dense traffic, one-way streets, and limited parking options. Be prepared for busy intersections and heavy pedestrian traffic, especially in popular areas like Granville Street, Robson Street, and around Stanley Park. When driving in residential areas, be aware of speed bumps and school zones, which have lower speed limits. The city is also very bike-friendly, with numerous bike lanes – so you should always check for cyclists before turning. Using a GPS or navigation app is highly recommended to navigate efficiently and find parking spots.
  • Familiarize yourself with local driving regulations and etiquette. In Vancouver, as throughout British Columbia, it's important to adhere to the rules of the road, including speed limits and traffic signals. The city has several bridges and tunnels where traffic can become congested during rush hours – plan your routes to avoid these bottlenecks. Be aware of Vancouver’s “no right turns on red” rule in effect at certain downtown intersections. Additionally, be prepared to share the road with a large number of cyclists, and always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
