Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Quebec?

Accepted Answer

Nothing says living it up like a road trip, especially when you're going somewhere as amazing as Quebec. With big-name sights like Place Royale and Citadelle of Quebec, there's so much to see and so little time. That's where a rental car will help. You'll be able to explore many more places — but pick something small for easy city driving, like a compact car. If you're not willing to cruise around those daunting streets, Capitale-Nationale abounds with natural wonders. Trade the nifty runabout for something larger, like an SUV, and discover the most popular bays.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Quebec?

Accepted Answer

You'll be happy to hear that there's a wide variety of both economy and luxury rental vehicles available in Quebec. What you end up going with depends on how much you're willing to spend and what you're hoping to do. Specialty vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not go for a high-end SUV, or perhaps a fancy mid-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you're just after a car to zip around town in as cheaply as possible, go for a budget compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).

Question 6

What side of the road do they drive on in Quebec?

Accepted Answer

You'll be motoring along the right side of the road in Quebec. Even though the rules may be similar to home, it's a good idea to drive a little more carefully in places you've never been.

Accepted Answer

Finding a parking spot in Quebec is a breeze. There's no need to keep driving around the block in heavy traffic here — and that's what the locals love about it. There's lots of off and on-street parking to choose from.

Question 8

Does Quebec have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

As the population of Quebec is about 528,600, you probably won't have much trouble with traffic congestion. That said, city center streets are generally busier before and after work hours, so you may want to avoid driving during these times.
