When a Rental Car Makes Sense on International Trips from Canada

Car rentals can unlock quiet villages, trailheads, and viewpoints that are hard to reach any other way, but they also add cost and stress. Before you book a car on an international trip from Canada, ask whether most of your time will be in dense cities, whether you are comfortable with local driving norms, what insurance you really have, and whether a short car segment combined with trains and buses would give you the same access with less hassle.
