Good to know

  • You'll need some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get used to its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Canada.

  • Local speed limits are often about 45kph through built-up areas and around 95kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in Canada. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

Drive smarter from the start

  • Kick off the real journey once you've picked up the keys to your YQX car hire. You've got the freedom to go wherever you like, but if you're headed to central Gander, it'll take you about 10 minutes to travel the 6 kilometres or so northwest.

  • Allow roughly 15 minutes to get from Gander International Airport to the city centre during rush hours.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
