What types of cars can I rent in Nanaimo?
Inexpensive, easy to drive and good on mileage, it’s no coincidence that compact cars are the most commonly booked type of hire in Nanaimo. Tour this city in one of these and you’ll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is perfect for city getaways or shorter road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — there’s a style of vehicle to suit you!

  • Head to Vancouver for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 40 miles from Nanaimo, it has numerous great sights such as Stanley Park.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Nanaimo?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can hire a car in Nanaimo.

Also, young drivers are usually restricted from hiring specialty or luxury vehicles. Check the fine print before you book so there are no hassles at pick-up.
What do you need to rent a car in Nanaimo?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules may differ between hire providers, so it’s always wise to check before you book.
