There's so much to do in Downtown Halifax, but head farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can cruise around the greater area at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your travel plan:

• You'll discover Casino New Brunswick and loads of other interesting sights in Moncton. From Downtown Halifax, it's roughly 120 miles away.
• Your next pit stop? It has to be Albert County, which is around 100 miles away. Hopewell Rocks is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
• Cape Breton Highlands National Park is located 200 miles from Downtown Halifax and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Canada, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
