Planning A Canadian Road Trip – The Essentials You Need To Know

Canada spans from the Atlantic Ocean in the East to the Pacific Ocean in the West and the Arctic Ocean in the North.

One of the best ways to see the diverse landscapes that Canada has to offer is to take a road trip across this beautiful country.

Vehicles: Cars in Canada drive on the right side of the road, so if you are from a country that drives on the left side of the road, you may want to practice on smaller streets before hitting the highway or consider hiring a guide.

The Basics of Road Tripping Canada

Cars, Recreational Vehicles, and Trucks are all common vehicles to see on the Trans Canada Highway. If renting a vehicle, choose one based on your needs and make a reservation in advance.

Method of transport

Canada has ten provinces and three territories, so you will want to plan ahead and decide which locations you want to visit and create a rough itinerary.

Plan the route

Poor weather conditions range from November to April, depending on the province, so the best time to visit is from April to October.

Choose the right season

Speeds are posted in kilometres per hour and are strictly enforced by radar traps and cameras.

Speed limits

You must have a valid license from your home country. Check if you need a VISA prior to entering Canada, as it may take months to complete the necessary steps.
