KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in North Vancouver

  • When you book car hire in North Vancouver, you'll be able to explore the numerous parks, mountains, and miles of nature. The public transport system in North Vancouver is pretty good, but you'll be able to pack your holiday with more activities if you take your itinerary into your own hands. Visit the Waterfront Park, go hiking at Cliffwalk in your own time, and spend as long as you want in the great outdoors.
  • The distance between Vancouver Airport and North Vancouver is 16 km, and this is the best place to collect your hire car in North Vancouver. Getting your hire car directly from the airport will start you on your adventure as soon as you land. A number of car hire companies have branches at the airport, and some operate off-site and offer a shuttle service to make the short trip to the offices. Evo Car Share and West Coast Car Rentals are just outside the airport, while Hertz, Dollar, and Budget are among the car hire companies on the airport grounds.
  • Driving in North Vancouver is a relaxing experience for drivers of any level. The road systems are easy to navigate, and the surfaces are well maintained. Most roads are dual carriageways wide enough for multiple cars to pass each other comfortably. The road markings are clear, and the signage is sufficient. Traffic lights regulate most of the traffic flow, so there's little congestion. The local drivers are generally polite, and people tend to stick to the speed limits and follow the road rules.
  • One of the issues you may need to consider when driving in North Vancouver is the weather. If you're not used to this climate, you should learn a bit about cold weather road safety before driving your hire car during winter. The roads can get tricky to navigate and can be dangerous. You'll face heavy snowfalls, black ice, and white-out conditions. Driving from November to March is when the conditions are at their worst. You should be a confident driver if you hire a car in North Vancouver during the winter months. Don't forget to select a car type with safety features that support winter driving.
  • Book your car hire in North Vancouver at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size hire cars in North Vancouver are around 12% cheaper than other car types, on average

Worst car rental agency in the world. They accepted my reservation for 12pm noon but the office closes at 11.45am. So we had to abandon the reservation and find another one last minute for more money.

I can’t say whether my car was clean or not because I was denied a rental at the counter. Apparently, even though I’m over the age of 25, they’re not allowed to rent to me as I have my GDL (from Alberta). This was not made clear to me on their website or on Kayak when I made the booking. I never realized it would be a problem, as this is not my first rental car. I have a clean record and being GDL hasn’t been an issue before. I didn’t realize they’d be willing to take me if I was 21 and GDL graduated versus encroaching 30 and not wanting to take my test during COVID. I have no qualms with the customer service rep. I understand that he was doing his job, and when I asked for another service that would accept my GDL, he kindly gave me a phone number. I appreciated that. But my friend and I were still stranded on the side of the road with all our luggage and had to walk with it to the nearest rental company. It was a very unpleasant experience and I will not be using National Car Rentals in the future. Fortunately, I was able to procure another rental from this other company and it saved my vacation from a stressful and premature end.

The cost for the week was very fair. The staff at the reveal counter were very knowledgeable and helpful. The terms of the contract were clear and as expected. The car was fine. My only beef is that they didn't provide a courtesy pick up and drop off.
