Is parking convenient in cities like Vancouver, Victoria, and Quebec City? I'm really worried about parking. I don't know how to use the parking meters on the side of the road. Are they all cash-only or can you use a credit card ?

Forget to say, some card readers outside the gas station may not work. In this case, you have to go inside the convenience store and tell the staff that you want to pay inside and then fill up the gas outside. It's actually quite simple, so don't worry. Even if your English is not very good, basic communication should not be a problem. In fact, even if you don't say anything, the staff will probably understand what you need.

Parking is very convenient, with many parking lots and roadside parking spaces. Some supermarkets or malls offer free parking. Parking lots are usually paid by credit card. Some roadside parking spaces can be paid by credit card, while most are paid by coins. It's very simple, find the corresponding parking meter, put the coin in, and the automatic machine will display the parking time. It's best to leave a generous amount of time, as there will be traffic police issuing tickets if you exceed the time limit. It is recommended to park on the roadside for convenience.

So I'll ask again. After inserting the credit card and entering the amount, how do I know how much oil to add for someone like me with no experience? There is no measurement standard. For example, how much should I enter to fill up a full tank?

Okay okay. But my itinerary is from 0922 to 1006. I brought an evening red tour group - my aunt and her friends (a couple). This time I am a translator, driver and tour guide all in one. I feel super tired just thinking about it.

Don't worry, in fact, the traffic rules are the same as in China. Just be aware of giving way at intersections with a stop or 4-way sign. Drive slowly and you'll get used to it soon. Filling up is even simpler. First insert your credit card, then take it away and choose the amount of fuel, then select the type of fuel, and finally take the fuel pump and fill it up yourself. Don't worry, it's not as difficult as you imagine.

Thank youI'm really nervous about parking. This explanation makes me feel a little relieved. Actually, the scariest thing about Road trip is the local traffic rules and parking. I'll give it a try and I'll know. Thank you.

Each car has a different size of gas tank, so you'll figure out how much it costs to fill up after a try or two. Anyway, you won't be able to add that much money, and any extra money will be automatically refunded to your credit card.
