Question 5

What kind of rental car should I get for Yaletown?

Accepted Answer

Finding a park and tight city streets should be considered when deciding on which rental vehicle you'll take. While large people-movers and SUVs are very comfy and offer room to move, they can be more difficult to maneuver and park. Seeing as Yaletown is just 0.5 miles from Vancouver, there's every chance you'll spend some time zigzagging your way around town. Want our advice? Pick a car that's got enough room for all your buddies and your luggage while still being compact enough to cope with city driving. Our standard-size cars should fit the bill.
