Toyota Corolla 2015

Car was great! Easy to drive around the island. Clean/ easy communication with host. The only thing is pick up/ drop off can be a little challenging from the airport with only a few taxis operating at a time. Best to pre book transportation to pick up the car in advanced. The car is located 7 min drive from the airport but we waited nearly an hour for a taxi after we landed to pick it up.

Things to do and places to see in Comox, BC

Comox has a great location if you’re looking for outdoor adventure. On one side of town, you’ve got the sea, with opportunities for water sports and whale watching. On the other, the mountains offer excitement year-round, from skiing to hiking. Here are some of the best things to do around Comox:

Rent the perfect car
Mount Washington Comox, BC

Grab your binoculars and enjoy whale watching

Comox is famous for its whale watching. This is one of the best places in Canada to see these incredible creatures. The whale watching season runs from March to October. In the early months, you can spot grey whales, while humpbacks often pass during the summer. Playful orcas can be seen throughout the season.

Watch the salmon run in Nymph Falls Nature Park

There are so many beautiful natural spots in the Comox Valley, but Nymph Falls has to be one of the best. Come here for hiking at any time of year or swimming in summer. The best time is in October and November, when you can watch the remarkable salmon run. Fish ladders have been built into the rock face of Nymph Falls, helping the salmon on their tough journey upstream.

Hit the spectacular slopes of Mount Washington

The slopes of Mount Washington are best known for skiing and snowboarding in winter, but you can have outdoor fun here all year round. When the snow melts, drive your car rental up for hiking, ziplining, mountain biking or even frisbee golf. Scenic chairlift rides are available at any time of year, giving you dramatic panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Top tips for renting a car in Comox


It's normal to feel nervous when you're about to drive in a new place for the first time. Before you hit the road in Comox, read these helpful hints and tips for a much easier experience.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Comox?


The default speed limit within Comox is 50 km/h, dropping lower in school zones and residential areas. Beyond the town limits, the standard speed limit increases to 80 km/h. Winter tyres aren’t mandatory in Comox itself, but they are required on many British Columbia (BC) highways between October 1 and March 31. Watch for clear roadside signs indicating where winter tyres are necessary.


What is parking like in Comox?


If you need to find car parking for your Comox car rental, there’s a mix of on-street and off-street options scattered around the town. During the busy summer months, parking lots near popular Comox Valley nature spots tend to fill up very quickly. If you’re planning a visit to places like Nymph Falls, aim to arrive early to secure a space.


Are there toll roads in Comox?


No, there are no toll roads in Comox or anywhere else on Vancouver Island. While British Columbia could introduce tolling in future, all island highways are currently toll-free, including Highway 19A and the Inland Island Highway. If you’re renting in Comox, you can simply drive and enjoy the journey.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Comox?


Yes, fuel stations are easy to find in and around Comox and the wider Comox Valley, so topping up your rental car won’t be a problem. EV chargers, on the other hand, are not as common. A handful have been installed in recent years, but they’re still limited in this part of Vancouver Island. If you’re booking an electric vehicle on Turo, plan your routes with care to ensure your battery stays charged.


Do I need to rent a car in Comox?


Yes. Comox is a small coastal town, and public transport is limited, especially in rural parts of the Comox Valley. While a few local buses run within town, they won’t take you to trails, lakes or mountain areas nearby. Without a rental car, it’s difficult to get beyond the town centre and see the region properly. Booking a car on Turo gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, without relying on a sparse bus timetable.

Frequently asked questions about Comox car rentals

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?

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 Comox? 

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

What rental car types are there in Comox?

Looking for Comox car rentals? On Turo, you’ll find a wide range of vehicles for every kind of trip. Choose an SUV like a Jeep Wrangler or Ford Explorer for mountain roads, or a roomy minivan such as the Toyota Sienna or Chrysler Pacifica for family travel. Fuel-efficient sedans like the Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are ideal for town use, while eco-conscious drivers can opt for a Tesla Model 3 or Toyota Prius. Whatever the season, find a car that suits your plans on Turo.
