Top tips for renting a car in Gander


Renting a car in Gander, Newfoundland, is a great way to experience the surrounding area. When driving your car rental in Gander, here are a few things to keep in mind:


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Gander?


Driving in Gander follows Canadian traffic laws, with vehicles travelling on the right-hand side and posted speed limits strictly enforced. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, and mobile device use is only permitted hands-free. Winter conditions can create icy or slippery surfaces, so consider car rentals equipped with winter tires. Local signage, pedestrian crossings and traffic signals must be followed to ensure safety.


What is parking like in Gander?


Parking in Gander is not a problem. You’ll find public lots, small garages and on-street spaces across town, especially near shops and parks. During busy hours or special events, some central areas may fill up more quickly. Certain streets and lots may have time limits or require payment, so it’s worth checking signs before leaving your vehicle. If you’re visiting popular spots like Cobb’s Pond or downtown dining areas, arriving a little earlier helps you secure a good space.


Are there toll roads in Gander?


There are no toll roads within Gander itself, and most routes in the surrounding area are also free to drive on. If you head farther across Newfoundland, you may come across some routes that use electronic toll systems, particularly on major highways. Check your planned route before setting off, as tolls can vary by location and vehicle type.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Gander?


Yes, Gander has several gas stations. You'll find them located along main roads and near commercial areas, with many open early or 24/7. EV drivers will also find public charging stations at select hotels and shopping areas. Whether you’re refuelling or recharging, it’s easy to find a spot along common travel routes around town and toward neighbouring communities.


Do I need to rent a car in Gander?


While Gander offers some local transportation services, renting a car is a smart idea. With your own vehicle, you can comfortably reach attractions like Cobb’s Pond Rotary Park, the North Atlantic Aviation Museum, and nearby lakes and trails. A rental car is especially helpful if you want to plan day trips to surrounding towns or explore outside of downtown Gander.

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.

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.
