$24 Car Rental Chinatown

There's loads to do in Chinatown, but head farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can roam around the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your travel schedule:

• Victoria is around 60 miles from Chinatown. Popular sights like British Columbia Parliament Building should be high on your list while you're in town.
• Roughly 40 miles away, Abbotsford is also popular with travelers. Allow time to experience Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this colorful city.
• Spend time in nature and breathe in some fresh air at Chesterman Beach. You'll find it about 130 miles from Chinatown.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Canada, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
