Car rental in Vancouver

Vancouver is regularly ranked as one of the three most liveable cities in the world, and is growing rapidly as a leading tourist destination.

Unlike most North American cities, Vancouver itself is best explored on foot, on bike or via its excellent transit system. Worthwhile sights include the Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver's world class Aquarium and the spectacular views from the top of Grouse Mountain.

But much more awaits the car rental tourist. Drive to Vancouver Island to visit Victoria, the capital of British Columbia that appears to be a slice of England, to explore the redwood forests or to go salmon fishing in Campbell River.

Arranging car rental when you arrive also opens up the enormous outdoor resort of Squamish, "The Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada". Anybody interested in climbing, hiking, fishing, white water rafting, horse riding, or scuba diving will find plenty to enjoy here.

In winter, you can load up your car rental with skis and snowboards. Just two hours away, Whistler offers some of the best snow in North America. Further afield, use a car rental to visit Jasper or Banff National Parks in the Canadian Rockies. Both offer some of the world's most sensational scenery, with mountain lakes, glaciers and even more superb skiing.

Finally, why not go on a car rental adventure and take the opportunity to crack open a continent? Seattle is just over the American border and, if you have the time, you can even drive your car rental down the entire length of California, visiting San Francisco and Los Angeles along the way.
