Do I need to book a car in advance if I plan to rent a car in Canada? Or can I just go to the store and rent a car when I get there ?

I booked a car in advance on the rental website, and it's cheaper than booking directly at the store.

My suggestion is to book the car in advance, the earlier you book, the more favorable the rental price will be. If you happen to go to the local area and rent a car temporarily, there may not be any vehicles available for rent, then you will have to go to other car rental stores, which will be more troublesome.

Advance booking is definitely cheaper than renting directly in Canada, so I recommend the former.

In fact, it's almost the same as in China. If you are a good driver in China, you will have no problem in Canada! When you rent a car, the website will tell you about the traffic rules and insurance in Canada. The service is very good. There is no toll on Canadian highways. The drivers there drive very strictly. When our domestic traffic is also like this, it will be a real strong country. Gasoline is cheaper than in China, about 5.6 RMB per liter, and there are differences in different places. Remember to fill up the gas (87 octane) if you have the chance ? Canada Q&A
