How old do you have to be to rent a car in Banff?
Banff rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Banff?
While booking conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Banff, the two key things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Banff?
You'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Banff. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side. Allow a bit of extra time to get familiar with the differences before you hit the road.

You can. We partner with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for many car categories. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every bit of Banff — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Banff car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you're under 25 years in Banff often depends on the rental provider you select.

Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to avoid any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
