By Car
Travelling by car is the best way to see Canada, even though a vehicle can be a bit of a liability in the big cities, with their stringent parking areas and rush-hour tailbacks. Any US and UK national over 21 with a full driving licence is allowed to drive in Canada, though rental companies may refuse to rent to a driver who has held a full licence for less than one year, and under-25s will probably get lumbered with a higher insurance premium. Car-rental companies will also expect you to have a credit card; if you don't have one they may let you leave a hefty deposit (at least $300) but don't count on it. Most of Canada's vehicles - and almost every rental car - run on unleaded fuel, which is sold by the litre; prices vary, but are generally around 70-80c per litre. Fuel is readily available - there are literally hundreds of gas stations, though they thin out markedly in the more remote regions, where you should exercise some caution by checking locally about the distance to the next one.
