Good to know

  • Age requirements can vary by company (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Canada may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Kids coming with you? Child car seat laws differ from place to place, and the right setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Confirm whether you need to add one to your YYG car hire booking.

  • You'll need to show some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.

  • Get familiar with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Canada.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's normally around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so along highways. Always check the posted signs.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Canada is 0.08%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.

Drive smarter from the start

  • Shift gears and go once you've collected your YYG car hire. Central Charlottetown is around 5 kilometres to the south if you're planning to head that way.

  • Allow roughly 20 minutes to drive from Charlottetown Airport to the city centre during rush hours.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You can also grab a car hire in Charlottetown. If you don't need a set of wheels right after you arrive, hold off until you're in the city and avoid paying for unused rental days.
