KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Vancouver

  • The North Shore mountain range provides a picture perfect backdrop to the city of Vancouver -- visiting them during your travels is a must. Renting a car will give you the ability to access the mountain range and a long list of adventure activities. Having a car will give you the ability to go skiing or snowboarding on the world-renowned Cypress Mountain, or explore the spectacular views that hikes across Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour have to offer.
  • Picking up a hire car at Vancouver International Airport (VIA) could not be simpler; hire company counters are located next to the baggage claim at both the Main and South terminals. VIA is conveniently located only 9 miles from downtown and you will arrive after approximately 30 minutes of driving.
  • Distances and speed limits are measured in kilometers throughout Canada, so be careful and adjust your driving to suit. Vancouver has numerous flashing green traffic lights, which mean you have the right to drive through the intersection but must approach cautiously and yield to pedestrians who may be crossing. Many cyclists are present on Vancouver roads, so it’s important to keep an active eye on your blind spots. Keep in mind that across the city there are some roads with separated bike lanes and roads where lanes are shared; be mindful in both situations to provide cyclists with a safe amount of room.
  • Like most major cities, rush hour in Vancouver can be frustrating and it is wise to avoid major arterial roads or driving altogether between 5 pm and 7 pm. Traffic can be especially bad on West Georgia Street in the evening and it is advisable to seek an alternative route. Also keep in mind that the bridges of Vancouver, such as the Alex Fraser, can clog up with congestion during peak times and, due to their narrow entries and exits, take a long time to open up again.
  • Book your car hire in Vancouver at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard car hire in Vancouver are around 52% cheaper than other car types, on average

Vancouver car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Vancouver 
Verified travelerSep 2023
Driving in Vancouver feels similar to most large cities. Street parking or garages are best. It’s easiest to find a garage in a central place and walk around. You could likely enjoy Vancouver without a car, we also went to Whistler where a vehicle was necessary.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Recommend using public transport in Vancouver but booking a car hire for travel in BC to minimise parking costs and the issues of driving in an unknown city.
Verified travelerOct 2023
No ,It was very good.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Be careful with left turns, use blinkers, pay attention to pedestrians and be smart.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Look up different driving rules, especially at crossroads. Cheapest fuel is outside Vancouver.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Look at all options and get the insurance on paper
QuirinoSep 2023
Hire it in downtown, not at the airport
Verified travelerOct 2023
Always book online for better rates.
MarilynneSep 2023
Traffic volumes can be daunting.
Verified travelerSep 2023
Call the rental place directly.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Driving in downtown Vancouver can be a bit challenging with traffic but we were always able to find parking somewhere. The public parking is fairly inexpensive (compared to Montreal) and there were many electric car charging stations in the city if you chose to rent an electric vehicle.
DebJun 2023
Our routes were easy to find with the map on the dashboard! There was quite a bit of traffic in downtown Vancouver, and we had to go right through the centre of town to get to the airport.
Verified travelerJul 2023
The roads are narrow compared to the roads in Ontario. However, it is more convenient to rent a car if you are planning to leave the metro Vancouver area such as Richmond, North Vancouver, Whistler, Seattle, etc.
GeorgeJun 2023
if you have multiple passengers, try find car pool lane to beat the traffic. people are nice and polite in downtown. so just ask them if you get lost.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Be mindful of cyclists. This is a very cyclist heavy city. Always check your mirrors before opening your doors, do shoulder checks, etc.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Have patience with traffic, grab a coffee and a snack and just chill. Everyone is in a hurry, let them go.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Sat Nav essential if you don't want a large data charges for using Google Maps
Verified travelerJul 2023
Vancouver was easy. People drive with civility.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Drive under speed limit; Vancouver has a bustling pedestrian, bike, and e-everything on the roads, walkways, bike paths, etc. Similar to other older cities, roads are narrow and congested, so drive cautiously and know where you are going. Use a good GPS to find quickest routes around traffic.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Give LOTS of time for getting around due to traffic. Or really pay attention to peak traffic times. Or definitely park and ride the sky train (especially downtown). Keep your distance, because people like to tail others than have to break abruptly.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Not to go through a third party rental. To go directly to the rental agency

Verified travelerJul 2023
Be patient! Lots of traffic and tourists make driving potentially dangerous if you aren’t familiar with the area.
Verified travelerJul 2023
If you rent from Europcar do not get a flight out earlier than 10am.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Hope the rental office will answer their phone right away. Otherwise, good , friendly service, clean vehicle, reasonable price.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Use the car rental chain website, not a third party website the pops up first in the search results as *sponsored* or *advertisement* .

Check about the spare tire and the location of the arm brake.
Verified travelerMay 2023

Drop-off was great.

Cons:

I'd been told that the pick-up spot was at the airport but it turned out to be quite a ways away and we had to take a cab to get there. The clerk sent us to the wrong parking spot for the car and we had to find it on our own. There was a disconcerting "thud" noise and jarring when idling.

Pros:

Great car, drove well, man at the counter was really nice.

Cons:

They didn't seem to know anything about the online booking system that I used, I ended up paying almost double because I wanted a GPS system which upgraded me to a nicer vehicle. However, I booked a Rav4 which is pretty comparable to a Chevy Esquire. I just feel like I overpaid for the upgrade.

Pros:

Car was clean, ran well (Toyota Camry).

Cons:

I only had the car 5 days and was charged the weekly rate. I was given only 1 day of insurance back when I brought it back early. On your website it doesn't mention the $30/day for insurance on top of the rental charge. I was led to believe at booking everything was included. Too expensive.

I had confirmation that a car would be available but when I arrived they didn’t have a car available and sent me to another location 20 minutes drive away which caused us to miss our ferry reservation. This could have been avoided if they’d rung me in advance and not to be told when I turned up!

My flight back to hometown was at 7am, but Europcar opens at 8am. They did not have a shuttle service to get us back to the airport. We had to get two taxis since it was 5 of us with 5 luggage. This was around 120$ extra.

The car I was given was extremely loud, making me feel very unsafe driving it. Probably a first generation hybrid, hence the noise, but I question if fit to drive at all. I also asked for a receipt upon returning the car. It was denied saying the company does not allow that. It makes no sense. How can one prove they returned the car if they can't have a receipt ? First time I hear this. The two different clerks were pleasant otherwise.

Pros:

I prepaid online and reserved my car to pick up at 8. Arrived at 8 to find no one there, had to call and ask for someone to help me out. I reserved the car at a specific time for a reason, and I wasn’t getting out of there with the car until after 9. A bit ridiculous in my eyes, Such a lack of care to their costumers. Oh wait there’s more. I bought insurance prior on kayak, but not straight from rent-a-car. Resulting in them withholding a massive fee on my credit card and saying I owe them nearly a grand to replace a windshield because of a tiny chip in the windshield due to driving on the highway. I’ve rented cars before and have never dealt with this kind of thing. No windshield replacement should be that much, and the chip is so minor it could easily be filled for very cheap. But instead rent a car is money grabbing and taking advantage of me. In the process of trying to figure out my claim with the third party insurance, which of course has not been easy. All in all I’m extremely upset by my experience and would recommend you go else where to rent a car.

Cons:

Don’t rent from here!

The customer service is not great. I asked to add the insurance a couple of time and they never got it done. I called to change the car since we didn't order a basic mini suv, but I needed to go to Richmond to make the change. The car was very dirty and damaged and the tires were not great. The value was good but I'm now dealing with the customer service again for the return. They asked me to pay for the damages when a claim was sent to my insurance company since they couldn't do it properly with their insurance the first time around.

I booked to pick up the car in Vancouver downtown at 9 a.m. But when I arrived, the staff told me the car was not available in Vancouver downtown but in Richmond. I ended up picking up the car in Richmond at almost 11 a.m. Poor management.

Didn't have any cars when I arrived on time. Took about an hour and a half to wait for someone to return a car and have it briefly cleaned. The inside was not cleaned at all and was quite filthy. Car had engine light warning on and issues with the wireless key start.
