Good to know

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your rental in Canada. Rules can differ, and added fees or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.

  • Bringing the kids with you? Car seat laws vary from one location to another, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Terrace car hire booking.

  • You'll be asked for a few things when collecting your rental car: a valid driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.

  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Canada.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph through built-up areas and around 95kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Canada is 0.08%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Canadian dollar (CAD) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, have some cash on hand for smaller purchases.

  • English is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
