Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

Need to book a vehicle that suits your needs for traveling this beautiful island in comfort and safety. 

These are the car rentals available on Vancouver Island. Having a vehicle on the island is necessary as it is very spread out, and many rural areas don’t have cell service. Make sure to shop around for the best deal. If renting a truck to head off to the backroads, note that your insurance will not cover any damages. I always recommend getting the lost and damage waiver on all rentals. It could save you money if anything happens. I worked for a rental company briefly, and learned that people should get this policy.

There are options from the basic car, SUV, and truck rentals to VW vans & overlanding rigs. Depending on your plans, you'll find the best fit. Remember, when booking your trip, be sure to plan as some rentals can be booked a year ahead.
