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.
