Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Nanaimo?
Within the past seven days in Nanaimo, you could have driven away in a rental car for as low as $27 per day.
Can I rent a car from Nanaimo Harbour Water Aerodrome Airport (ZNA)?
Budget is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental outlet. Lock in your vehicle as soon as you can to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Nanaimo car reservation?
We know that having the freedom to change your plans is important. That's why most prepaid bookings provide a full refund if you let us know at least six hours before pickup. It's a good idea to check the rental policy though as there are some exclusions. If the info isn't there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Nanaimo?

  • You'll find British Columbia Parliament Building and many other intriguing attractions in Victoria. From Nanaimo, it's approximately 55 miles away.

What do you need to rent a car in Nanaimo?

Whether you're planning to stick around Nanaimo or travel beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Nanaimo car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are in Nanaimo. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Nanaimo?
For a stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also provides customers with 24/7 emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Nanaimo ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Nanaimo with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Canada, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have 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 matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
