Car Hire in Canada

Vancouver has the highest traffic volume in Canada, with a congestion rate of 39%, which means that traffic moves 39% slower than if the roads were free-flowing. The roads are busy for the morning rush, but the worst-hit time of day is the afternoon rush hour when citizens leave work. Toronto is the second-highest in Canada for traffic, as it has a congestion rate of 33%. If you plan to rent a car in Canada or while visiting Vancouver or Toronto, you may want to consider paying for secure parking, as break-ins can occur. It may also be easier to use the public transport networks when travelling around the centre of these cities, such as the buses, trams, and trains, which are generally affordable and efficient.

Canada is a picturesque country to visit if you are interested in taking a road trip with your car rental. We recommend the Pacific Rim Highway, which runs westward from Parksville to Tofino, on Vancouver Island, and only takes few hours to complete. It has plenty of places to stop while you drive through the mountains and forests and end up at the beach. We recommend stopping at Cameron Lake and Port Alberni, where you can visit the local shops and grab a bite to eat. Another great option for a road trip is the Icefields Parkway, which also takes few hours to complete and runs from Banff National Park to Jasper National Park. It takes you through the Rocky Mountains and passes lakes, waterfalls and the Columbia icefield, finishing up in Jasper.
