Question 1

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 2

What is the cheapest car to rent in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The most affordable car to rent in Canada is a Compact (Hyundai Accent), with the latest price we found at KES 5,409 per day.

Question 3

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Canada?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Canada, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your hire may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international hires for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers hire insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the hire counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 4

Can international visitors rent a car in Canada

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car as a foreigner in Canada. However, you will need a valid international driving permit (IDP) along with your home country driver’s license. Additionally, be prepared to provide a credit card for the deposit and reservation. Hire requirements may vary by company, so it's a good idea to check with the car hire provider or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car hire options and requirements for international drivers.

Question 5

How much does it cost to rent a Standard car in Canada for a week?

Accepted Answer

The price for renting an Standard in Canada is approximately KES 238 for a week (KES 6,341 per day), based on our data from the past 72 hours. However, prices can fluctuate frequently due to varying demand. To find the exact current price, start a search with us at VoyageCopilot.

Question 6

Can another person drive my hire vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your rent vehicle, but they must be authorised by the hire company. Typically, you need to add them as an additional driver when booking or picking up the car. There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car hire company for specific terms and conditions.

Question 7

Can under 25s rent cars in Canada

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to rent a car in Canada station is typically 21 years old, although this can vary by region and car hire company. In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, you can usually rent a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the hire company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.
