What are the driving conditions like in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

If you’re considering car rental in Alberta, you’ll find that the roads do not differ from the UK too much, and are of a very high standard. Depending on the season you hire a car in Alberta driving conditions can vary with the winter season being particularly harsh in Canada. You must make sure that your vehicle has the necessary equipment to be able to drive in snowy and icy conditions. Alberta is a huge region with many different state roads and highways leading to all parts. The largest of these highways is Hwy 1 which runs across the state, east to west, through the stunning Banff National Park, Calgary and through to Saskatchewan state. Other major highways include Hwy 2 that runs north to south, through Calgary, Edmonton and upto Peace River. The Icefields Parkway, also known as Hwy 93, is an iconic winding mountain road that leads to Columbia Icefields and looks over the Athabasca Glacier. When it comes to car hire in Alberta, we recommend trying to hire an SUV, so you can handle those mountainous country roads with ease and comfort, especially if you hit any adverse weather conditions.

Question 9

What laws should I be aware of when driving in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

When arranging car rental in Alberta, it’s really important you are aware of driving laws that may differ to those in the UK. Firstly, in Canada vehicles are driven on the right side of the road. Speed limits differ depending on whether you’re driving on an urban road, a rural road, or a motorway, but they are not too different to speed limits in the UK and Europe and are clearly marked by signs on the sides of the road as standard. The driver and all passengers must always wear a seat belt, anyone not doing so can be subject to a hefty fine. Just like the UK the drink drive limit is the same at 0.08% of blood alcohol level, but in some provinces it’s as low as 0.05%, so best to avoid having a drink.

Question 10

What documents do I need to hire a car in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

If you want to book car hire in Alberta, you must provide a valid driving licence, be at least 21 years of age with insurance and have a major credit card to arrange payment for the rental period.

Question 11

Is it worthwhile to book a rental car in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

Car rental in Alberta is essential if you want to explore the whole region, the vast landscapes and the long winding roads that are engulfed by lakes, mountains and forests. While some areas of Alberta, like Calgary and Edmonton have perfectly good public transport systems, relying on trains and buses won’t give you the freedom that you’ll need to see the best parts of this stunning area. It can be time consuming waiting on transport schedules and can prove to be expensive. It’s also important to consider affected transport schedules by the weather conditions especially if you’re travelling during the winter months. If you do decide to hire a car in Alberta, you won’t regret it, particularly when you find many cheap car hire deals through momondo. Cheap car rental in this region is a great way to save money and get the most out of your trip, it allows you to visit natural gems like Banff National Park, Waterton Lakes National Park, Jaspar National Park and Kananaskis Country.
