Car hire in and around Vancouver

Situated on the west coast of Canada and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver is a melting pot of ethnicity. It is the capital of the state of British Columbia and the third largest city in Canada.

Some areas carry an Edwardian heritage, seen in the architecture, but in areas such as China Town, the wonderful mix of influences from around the world is clear. The city treasures its wide-open spaces; there are parks all over Vancouver, many of them specially landscaped to make the very best of the spectacular views over the ocean.

Having the sea on one side and the Rocky Mountains to the north, visitors can take advantage of a diversity of sporting activities. Thanks to the mild winter temperatures, you can ski in the morning and play golf in the afternoon.

The major tourist attraction is the Rockies which is worth a two or three-day excursion. They are an extraordinary sight to behold. There are many activities to choose form including white-water rafting, hiking, nature trails and rock climbing for the energetic crowd.
