Credit card is a must.

Carlton

You also need a credit card, preferably one with insurance. In this way, you don't need extra insurance.

Must be the authorized Canadian credit card. My global positioning system credit card was not recognized, and I almost couldn't rent a car. Later, my wife's name was added, and I was charged an additional 200 Canadian dollars.

Dear experts, I have two questions to consult. I will go to Canada in July. 1. I will take Hong Kong Airlines from Shanghai to Vancouver, with a layover in Hong Kong (without leaving the airport). Do I still need to apply for a 'Hong Kong and Macau Pass'? 2. Is driving in downtown Vancouver very congested? Are there large parking lots for transferring to public transportation ? Canada Q&A

Currently the biggest problem I encountered and hope everyone knows, today from Jasper to play out 93 Glacier Avenue to reach near Lake Louise normally want to pass through the nearby highway exit through Field to reach Golden, but the highway has been closed causing to go from Lake Louise back to Banff. The middle of the highway goes to the hot springs of Radium, more than 100 kilometers, in the complete darkness of the mountains, it is very challenging, and it is not easy to follow the car. Even my 20-year-old driver feels quite difficult, and there is also a lot of pressure from the heavy truck behind. The cars in this area have all changed lanes. Last week, someone said it was blocked for five hours from Golden to Banff. Combined with my situation today, friends from Jasper or Banff back to Vancouver should be fully prepared ? 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
