Rail Travel

Operated by VIA Rail, the Canadian runs between Toronto and Vancouver, taking some three days to complete the trip. Other VIA Rail services link communities across the country.

Bus Travel
Inter-city buses are economical and comfortable, with air conditioning, on-board toilers and lots of leg and head room. Motor coaches offer the added advantage of downtown-to-downtown service.  Greyhound is the largest carrier in Canada.  However, there are also regional carriers in each of the Provinces.

Car Rental
All of the major car rental companies have offices in Canada.   Major car rental companies are found at airports and in towns and cities across the country. Rates vary depending on the season, type of vehicle and length of rental. You must be at least 21 (or 25 in some cases) and possess a major credit card. Camper and motor home rentals are also widely available, but should be reserved well ahead of time for the peak summer season.  Drivers from outside North America are advised to apply for an International Driving Permit from the automobile association in their country of origin which will allow them to drive in Canada. This will usually be required in order to rent a car.
