Rental age requirements generally aren't a one-size-fits-all. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could be hit with extra charges or rules. Check what rules apply with each supplier before booking your car hire in Canada.
If you're travelling with kids, check if you should add a child car seat to your Winnipeg car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.
You'll be asked to provide some documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
If you haven't driven before in Canada, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in Canada. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.
Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run in general. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The Canadian dollar (CAD) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and excursions. Pay by card where you can, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't possible.
