  • Grab your wheels from Budget, one of the city's leading providers.

  • Whether you book with Budget or another supplier, be sure to check the coverage on your Sidney car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as a paid extra.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to lock in a good deal if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Find the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't the same everywhere. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could pay extra and face some limits. Check the terms set by each supplier before booking your rental in Canada.

  • If you've got the kids in tow, check if you should add a child car seat to your Sidney car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: your physical driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds to pay the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Canada can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stay on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 45kph in urban areas and around 95kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Canada is 0.08%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.

  • Try to travel outside heavy 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) for everything you buy here. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cards and cash to make sure you're always covered.
