Once you cross the bridge, you'll enter Vancouver and have access to various major routes, including Highway 99 (also known as the Sea-to-Sky Highway) and Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway). These highways provide connections to various destinations in and around Vancouver.

Traffic Conditions:

  • Traffic conditions around Vancouver Airport can vary depending on the time of day and specific routes. Generally, the roads around the airport are well-maintained, but traffic can be busier during peak travel times.

Nearest Cities and Towns:

  • Vancouver: Vancouver Airport is located in Richmond, a suburb of Vancouver. The city of Vancouver is the nearest major urban center and offers numerous attractions, cultural sites, dining, and shopping.

  • Richmond: Richmond is the municipality where the airport is situated and is known for its multiculturalism and excellent dining options.

Recommended Car Type:

  • For driving in the Vancouver area, a standard compact or midsize car is typically suitable for most purposes. These car types are well-suited for urban and suburban driving and offer good fuel efficiency.

  • If you plan to explore the surrounding natural beauty of British Columbia, such as national parks or mountainous areas, consider renting a vehicle with all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) for added versatility, especially if you plan to visit during the winter months.

Vancouver and its surrounding areas offer a wide range of attractions, including Stanley Park, Granville Island, Grouse Mountain, and the beautiful Pacific coastline. Having a rental car provides you with the flexibility to explore these destinations and more at your own pace. Be sure to check local traffic regulations and road conditions, especially if you plan to venture into mountainous regions, and consider any seasonal factors that may affect your travel plans.
