Cheap car hire in Charlottetown
KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Charlottetown
- As one of Canada’s smallest provinces, Prince Edward Island and the city of Charlottetown is a great getaway for a holiday that combines nature, history, great culture and amazing cuisine into one. Cheap car hire in Charlottetown will be a wonderful way to explore the city and surrounding island, as very few public transport links will get you off the beaten track. With the Gulf of St Lawrence and the idyllic coastlines on your doorstep, various lighthouse attractions, several museums and friendly locals, using Charlottetown car hire will be a wise way to really make the most of this scenic area. Coastal drives are a must, so check out the Points East Coastal Drive or North Cape Coastal Drive, both of which offer unique scenery.
- When arriving on Prince Edward Island, you will probably land at Charlottetown Airport (YYG). It is a small but efficient airport and offers you the opportunity to fly in and drive away with your cheap hire car in Charlottetown. Book ahead of time through KAYAK and order your specific add-ons for the trip. When you arrive you will find a Thrifty, Avis and Hertz, among others, which can assist you in getting on the road.
- When driving in Charlottetown or around Prince Edward Island in general, you will make use of Route 1. It spans roughly 120 km and serves the entire island, offering you an excellent stretch of road to enjoy long trips. You will drive on the right-hand side of the road when using car hire in Charlottetown. Blood alcohol limits are capped at 0.05%, with licence suspensions resulting from being caught over the limit. If you drive directly, you could drive around the entire island in about 3 hours. Refrain from mobile phone use and remain buckled up while driving. Summer drives should be leisurely, as the locals are pretty laid back on the roads.
- If you are visiting Charlottetown in winter, you might have a tough time on the road. There is no doubt that snow and ice in the region make road conditions slippery and hair-raising, and you should definitely hire a vehicle with winter tyres. If you are planning a road trip at any time of the year, stick to the predetermined routes. If you veer off the beaten track, you will find good roads suddenly becoming gravel and difficult to navigate in smaller cars. GPS hire is always a good idea in a new city.
