Frequently asked questions

Can I book now and pay later for my car rental in Vancouver Island?
The answer is yes. Expedia offers car rentals that you can book now and pay later. This allows you to lock in your ride without paying upfront. You'll only pay the cost in full at the check-in counter, and a hold will be placed on your credit card for the amount of the security deposit. However, some of the car rental deals in Vancouver Island may need to be paid when you book. You'll clearly see your options in the search results display.
What happens if I need to cancel my Vancouver Island car reservation?
There are always times when plans change. That's why we offer a full refund on many prepaid rentals if you cancel at least six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. Be sure to double-check your rental agreement — sometimes it's not included. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Vancouver Island?
Economy, compact, standard, full-size ... You name it, we're likely to have it! But intermediate is the preferred rental category in Vancouver Island. These cars are roomy and comfortable compared to economy and compact rides. While an intermediate is smaller than a full-size, you'll still have plenty of legroom and storage space. Whether you're hanging around Vancouver Island or going farther afield, you'll be doing it in style.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Vancouver Island?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and over can rent a car in Vancouver Island. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, you can expect extra fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before booking your wheels. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Vancouver Island?
The essentials are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.
Can I drive in Vancouver Island with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, you can. However it's not hard to arrange an International Driving Permit, so it's a good idea to get one. This permit lets you legally drive in most countries, so you'll have peace of mind when you're motoring around Vancouver Island.

Where can I find a Vancouver Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle under the age of 25 in Vancouver Island often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, however other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age group. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to avoid any nasty surprises when picking up your keys.
