Before you decide on what car rental in Vancouver to order, consider what the purpose is for your vacation. If you are looking to show up in style, see old friends or explore the singles scene, then driving a Jaguar or Hummer may be in your best interests. (Just don’t remind people it’s a rental!) However, if you’re going on a family vacation then an economy or compact car may be all that you need to get from point A to point B.

The only disadvantage of an economy car rental in Vancouver is the limited space. If you have a few backseat passengers and a lot of luggage then an SUV may be the only realistic traveling option. Additionally, you may see several accessories and features for your car rental in Vancouver that are worth renting. Two of the most popular items are a GPS unit and a portable DVD player. A GPS unit is certainly a practical item for your car rental in Vancouver. It’s much easier to use than a map and allows you to choose a destination whether by name, address or type of vendor. Pricier GPS systems also have voice-activated systems. Now you can talk to your GSP the same way it talks to you! (But try and be nice)

While you’re driving a car rental in Vancouver don’t forget to rent snow tires. It may snow in Van City and you don’t want to be sidetracked on your valuable vacation time.
