Driving in Canada
Before you set off on your journey through the magnificent Canada landscape, it’s essential to familiarise yourself with the rules of the road. Canadians drive on the right-hand side, so take a moment to adjust if you're used to driving on the left. Major highways are well-maintained, but in urban areas, be prepared for busy traffic, especially during rush hours. Parking regulations can vary from city to city, so look for signage indicating parking rules. Many rental cars come with GPS, which is handy for navigating the vast Canadian road network, so be sure to request one if needed! As you’d expect from a country of Canada’s size and scale, it has a number of fine international airports that serve all areas of this incredible country. In the largest city, you’ll find Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), which has a dedicated car hire collection and drop off zone, and in the waterfront city of Vancouver there is Vancouver International Airport (YVR). A modern facility with a superb car hire centre serves Ottawa, and its called Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW). In Québec City, the Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) in Quebec provides free road maps to visitors and boasting a really good range of rental cars from small city hatchbacks to large SUVs.
