$18 Car Rental Uptown

There's so much to do in Uptown, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organize a set of wheels and you can meander around the greater area at your own pace. Add these awesome destinations to your list:

• You'll discover British Columbia Parliament Building and countless other amazing sights in Victoria. From Uptown, it's approximately 60 miles away.
• About 45 miles away, Nanaimo is also a hit with wanderers. Allow time to take in Woodgrove Shopping Centre while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this vibrant city.
• Get into the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Chesterman Beach. It's approximately 130 miles from Uptown.

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 to be allowed to rent a car. Please 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 license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries 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 cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
