Parking fees are around 4 Canadian dollars per hour. In Canada, there are four ways to pay for temporary parking: 1. Meter: coin-operated with a time limit of 2-3 hours and no option for extending. 2. Credit card: swipe your card for the desired time and display the receipt visibly in the car. 3. Attendant: some private parking lots have attendants who collect cash when you leave. 4. Phone payment: for street parking, you can pay by phone by providing your phone number, credit card number, license plate number, parking spot number, and duration. Parking tips: 1. In commercial areas and main streets, there are metered parking spots with a maximum limit of 2 hours. 2. Pay attention to signs for parking restrictions and reserved spots. Violating parking rules can result in fines of 10-300 CAD or even towing. 3. Shopping centers require shopping to park. 4. When visiting friends or family, only park in designated visitor spots in apartments, not in other residents' spots.

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
