$17 Car Rental Northwest Calgary

Northwest Calgary offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

• Red Deer is around 80 miles from Northwest Calgary. Top-rated tourist spots like Peavey Mart Centrium deserve to be at the top of your list while you're in town.
• Your next pit stop? It has to be Lethbridge, which is around 110 miles away. Enmax Centre is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
• Head to Athabasca Falls to feel grounded in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From Northwest Calgary, it's around 190 miles away.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Canada, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
