Car rentals USA

Canadians looking for a great vacation needn’t cross the world; the vast neighbor to the south, the USA, features almost anything one can desire, just a short flight from home. A visit to America can yield everything from a warm, beachside winter break to vast deserts, epic ski mountains, rich cultural attractions and non-stop, world-class cities. Moreover, the excitement of the trip can be made even better with the help of a car rental, which are cheaper and more convenient in the USA than in almost any part of the world.

Highlights

America boasts the right destination for almost any type of holiday. If you’re after culture, nightlife and world-class shopping, look no further than the Big Apple, though if you’re looking for some time in the great outdoors, the Colorado Rockies offer some of the world’s best camping, hiking and skiing. Meanwhile, for an escape from the grips of winter, head to the white sands of South Florida or catch a flight out to Hawaii for some of the best scenery on Earth. Meanwhile, a visit to the Adobe-strewn city of Santa Fe, New Mexico is a fine choice for artists, while San Francisco offers the best in seafood, sights and cultures from around the world.

Exploring by car

Like many things in the US, the roads in America are much like those in Canada, although the traffic can be worse in larger urban areas. Car hire is a great option for Canadians headed here, particularly in places like California, the inner mountain west and in Florida, where attractions are spread far apart. Rates are highest during the summer, so try to compare car hire and hotel rates and secure deals online before traveling.

Tourist season and weather

Summer is the height of travel season in the US, but there’s a great part of America for every season; fall is phenomenal amid changing foliage in New England and the upper Midwest, while spring is lovely in the South as the days are warm and the wildflowers are in bloom. Summer is great just about anywhere, except the scorching desert Southwest, while winter is perhaps best whiled away on the slopes of the Rockies or on the sunny beaches of Southern California, Florida or Hawaii.
