Top tips for renting a car in Canmore


Driving in a new city doesn't have to be scary. Before you get behind the wheel of your car rental in Canmore, these helpful hints and tips will set your mind at ease:


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Canmore?


The default speed limits around Canmore are 30 km/h in residential zones and 50 km/h in other areas. In Banff National Park, speed limits are 90 km/h on major roads and 60 km/h on other routes.

What is parking like in Canmore?


There are some parts of Canmore where free parking is available for up to nine hours. If these spots are full, you’ll need to pay to park your vehicle rental. Prices tend to be lower in the off-season, from mid-October to mid-May. Parking fees rise slightly during the busy summer months, as this is when the town sees more visitors.


Are there toll roads in Canmore?


No, there are no toll roads anywhere in the province of Alberta. However, you will have to either pay or have a parking pass to drive your car rental into some natural areas nearby. For instance, you'll need a Parks Canada Pass to drive into Banff National Park, and a Kananaskis Conservation Pass if you want to visit Kananaskis County.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Canmore?

If you’re booking an electric vehicle on Turo, it’s worth planning your route ahead of time.


Do I need to rent a car in Canmore?


Yes, renting a car is highly recommended. Canmore is a rural town on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, and public transport options are limited.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.
