Consider an intermediate. The most booked rental category in East Kootenay, these vehicles are larger than a compact and smaller than a full-size. That means you’ll get affordability and excellent mileage without having to give up comfort. Road-tripping beyond East Kootenay? A roomier full-size or even a premium option may suit you better. For shorter journeys, our economy and compact cars are ideal.

Expedia makes it simple to compare fees, offers and rental providers, and to check reviews. Bundle your East Kootenay car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.

Drivers 21 and above can go road-tripping around East Kootenay in a rental vehicle. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply.

Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.

Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.

You can, but if you want peace of mind, arrange an International Driving Permit to accompany your U.S. License. The permit contains your name, driver’s information and photo and is helpful as an additional identification document.
