Touring by Rental Car
Driving in Canada
Exploring Canada and Alaska by car is easy.
Driving on the right hand side of the road may
be different, however the roads are excellent,
well sign-posted and spacious. Just remember
the centre line should be by the driver!
Choosing your Rental Car
Take into consideration the size of the vehicle
you require. If the vehicle is to be used for
day touring from a central base, then a
smaller vehicle may be adequate and easier
for parking. If doing longer travel, remember
you will have luggage to transport around as
well as the shopping, so a midsize to larger
vehicle should be considered. We suggest you
book before leaving home, as this will save you
money and ensure that you get the vehicle of
your choice.
Emergency Roadside Assistance
While each vehicle is serviced and cared for individually there may be
an instance that you need some assistance. You can be rest assured
that in Canada and Alaska, Hertz provides Emergency Roadside
Assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Things to think about:
• • Driving licence requirements
• • Minimum age restrictions and driving restrictions
• • Additional driver conditions
