Top tips for renting a car in Charlottetown


Planning ahead makes every travel moment smoother, from your first turn out of the airport to your last seaside stop. These handy tips make navigating the Island simple, clear and stress-free.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Charlottetown?


Charlottetown’s main roads stay easygoing for most of the year, though weekday traffic tightens around the bridges leading into the business core. Local visit patterns pick up in July, especially along University Avenue and Grafton Street, so expect slower pacing near cafés, shops and waterfront spots. Speed limits shift between 30–50 km/h in residential pockets and 70–80 km/h on connecting routes outside town.


In winter, the Island transforms. Wintry conditions form quickly along open stretches, and ploughed snowbanks can narrow lanes. Many hosts equip their cars with either winter-rated tires or all-weather tires, giving you a steadier grip on frostier mornings. On rural drives, roads curve gently through farmland before dipping toward the coastline, so give yourself extra time on icy days.


Out on Prince Edward Island’s byways, coastal weather can shift without much warning. Ease your speed on rural curves, stay aware of surface changes, and keep an eye out for wildlife as evening approaches. If you need clarity on your route at any point, message your host through the Turo app.


What is parking like in Charlottetown?


Parking in Charlottetown is refreshingly straightforward. The waterfront district offers multiple public lots close to restaurants, theatres and boardwalk strolls. Further uptown, you’ll find convenient municipal garages near shopping and business hubs, making it easy to step from your car into the heart of the action.


During festivals or summer weekends, spaces near Victoria Row and Peake’s Wharf fill quickly, but quieter spots sit just a short walk away. Most areas are well-signed, and you’ll settle into the rhythm of parking around town with ease.


Are there toll roads in Charlottetown?


Charlottetown itself has no toll roads, though visitors often cross the Confederation Bridge, the province’s primary tolled route linking to New Brunswick.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Charlottetown?


Fuel stations are spread across the city, especially along major arteries leading in from the suburbs and out toward rural coastlines. If you’re driving electric, newer EV chargers sit in key public hubs like shopping districts and community centres, giving you simple, accessible places to top up before exploring the Island’s quieter corners.


Do I need to rent a car in Charlottetown?


A car unlocks the Island in a way nothing else can. Beaches, red-cliff lookouts, small harbours and countryside villages all sit beyond typical transit routes, and the Island’s most beautiful drives reward those who wander. On Turo, you can shape your own path across winding shoreline roads, visiting spots at your pace and in the order that feels right.

Frequently asked questions about Charlottetown car rentals

What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo in Canada, you must create a Turo account, be 23 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo in Canada, you must be 23 or older.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo? 

You don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo. If you do have your own auto insurance policy, the protection plan you select — purchased from Economical Insurance Company in Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec, and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in British Columbia — will supplement your existing coverage.*

What insurance and protection plan options does Turo offer?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance purchased from Economical Insurance Company in Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec, and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in British Columbia — $2,000,000 for all plans.

Can I get car rental discounts on Turo?

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promotions, discounts, and deals on car rental.

Is there long term car rental on Turo?

Yes there is — whether you want to rent a car for three days, three months, or even longer, you can on Turo. You’ll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. 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.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. 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.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Charlottetown? 

The cost of car rental in Charlottetown can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Charlottetown, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What rental car types are there in Charlottetown?

Charlottetown’s quiet coastal roads, winding rural highways, and postcard–perfect viewpoints pair easily with a range of vehicles designed for every kind of Island getaway. Choose from the following vehicle types, including, but not limited to:

- SUV rental: A Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V gives you space, comfort and improved handling on breezy shoreline routes or when exploring beyond the city.

- Luxury car rental: Step into something refined like a BMW 3 Series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class for relaxed dinners, special occasions and scenic drives that call for a little extra polish.
