Car Hire Victoria BC

Victoria Mini Guide (British Columbia)

What can you Tell me About Victoria?
It’s said that Victoria has the most northerly Mediterranean climate in the world and one look at Butchart Gardens shows you why. The whole city is wonderful with attractive buildings and plenty of parks and gardens usually filled with city workers enjoying the sunshine. It is cosmopolitan and offers a wide range of experiences for the traveller.

How do I get to Victoria?
There are two ways to get to the city; by plane or by ferry. Plane is the quickest way in but by ferry from Vancouver, Seattle or Port Angeles allows you to see whales feeding and the mountains that back Vancouver. The airport takes mainly domestic and US flights from west coast cities and also has a lot of charter flights to Mexican holiday destinations like Cancun and Los Cabos.

What Should I See or Do in Victoria?
The highlight of Victoria is Butchart Gardens which has subtropical specimens set in a former quarry. At night, see the gardens illuminated and enjoy the regular firework displays on summer evenings.

You can go whale watching offshore using one of the many boat companies that can be found in the port. Mountain biking on the Galloping Goose Trail is also very popular and if you don’t have your bike with you, there are plenty for hire.

Victoria is one of Canada’s most beautiful cities. There’s a lot to get round in even a two week stay so you’ll need a hire car to make sure you don’t waste too much time travelling between the main sights.

The best way to organise this is to pre-book your hire car before you travel. By doing this you’ll ensure that you have access to one of the widest ranges of car hire in Victoria. You’ll also be presented with prices which will include the most up to date offers and deals available from the major car hire companies in Victoria.

Whichever hire car you choose in Victoria, you can be assured that it will be of the highest quality with an industry leading standard of inclusive insurance cover so should you find yourself in the unlikely situation of needing help, you know you’ll be covered.
