Age requirements can vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Canada may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee.

Spend a moment familiarizing yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Canada.
