If you enter Canada as a tourist, you can drive for 6 months with your Chinese driver’s license. If you land in Canada as a new immigrant, your Chinese driver’s license will only be used for 90 days starting from the day you land. (If the province where you first landed in Canada is not the same as the province you plan to live in, your driver’s license will be valid from the date that you enter the province that you are planning to live in for 90 days.) For example, you land in Alberta as a new immigrant and leave within 90 days. Then after half a year, you land in British Columbia and plan to live in British Columbia. The validity period of the driver’s license is calculated from the day you landed in British Columbia and is valid for 90 days.

Renting a vehicle requires the driver’s drivers license (non-BC driver’s license requires additional photo ID, such as passport, etc., non-English driver’s license requires additional driver’s license translation) and credit card (any VISA, Master, American Express credit card is acceptable).

Rental procedures include providing driver’s information, paying the rental fee, checking vehicle mileage, engine fuel level, and car body scratches. Pickup can be done within 15 minutes. If you use your own car rental insurance or third-party car rental insurance, you will have to bring the insurance policy or provide an electronic version of the policy. If you need monthly rental car insurance with ICBC, please make an appointment with customer service.

Usually, rental vehicles can travel to U.S. and cross-province. Some cars or bookings may need to pay additional fees due to the restriction of the driving area of the insurance regulations. For more details, please contact our customer service.

Smoking (including electronic cigarettes) is not permitted in any form of a rental vehicle.

If we find any traces after our inspection, there will be a $300 CAD fine and additional cleaning fees.

Pets are not allowed in any form of a rental vehicle. If we find any traces after our inspection, there will be a $300 CAD fine and additional cleaning fees.

To ensure the safety and cleanliness of the car for every customer and to comply with the BC government’s indoor smoking policy, all rental vehicles are prohibited from smoking and pets.
