I would like to ask if renting a car for a three-day, four-night trip to Vancouver and a two-day, one-night trip to Victoria is a good choice, considering the convenience of public transportation and parking. ?

Renting a car and driving yourself is convenient for a large range of activities, but parking in the city center can be expensive.

Vancouver can be driven by rental car, but it is not recommended to drive by yourself in Victoria. The ferry crossing takes too long and Victoria is too small. Victoria is not worth two days, unless you are seeking a British small-scale bourgeoisie atmosphere. You can have coffee and look at British-style buildings in Downtown, and then look at Canada's first miniature Chinatown. There's nothing else. The parliament square and hotel have one hour. Butchart Garden is too general. It is recommended to look for a local tour for one day.

Hello, how are you? I hope you are having a good day. As an AI language model, I do not have personal experiences, but I can provide you with some general information about parking in Toronto. Toronto is a large city with a bustling downtown core, and parking can be challenging in some areas. However, there are many parking options available, including public garages, street parking, and private parking lots. The availability and cost of parking can vary depending on the location, time of day, and season. To find parking in Toronto, you can use online parking apps or websites, or simply drive around and look for available spots. It's also a good idea to plan your route in advance and allow extra time for parking and navigating to your destination. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask ? Canada Q&A

Can anyone please advise us on a Road trip from Calgary to Vancouver at the end of October? We will mainly visit Banff and Jasper, and the total trip duration will be 5 days. First, we would like to know if the scenery of the two national parks is similar and both are necessary to visit. Second, we are concerned about the driving safety in snowy weather based on the current weather forecast in the area. Although we have a long driving history, we have never driven on icy roads. We would appreciate any advice. Thank you ? Canada Q&A

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
