Top tips for renting a car in Kamloops
Renting a car in Kamloops is as essential as winter tires in February — trust us, you’ll thank yourself later. Whether you’re chasing powder at Sun Peaks, scouting wineries, or just need a rental car to explore at your own pace, here’s what you need to know before you hit the road in your rental car.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Kamloops?
In Kamloops, you’ll be driving on the right side of the road — but local wildlife sometimes ignores traffic rules. Always keep an eye out for deer, and make sure your rental vehicle comes with winter tires if you’re visiting in the colder months. If you’re travelling to Kamloops from overseas, be sure to have your home country driver’s licence with you, along with your international driver’s permit (IDP).
Typical speed limits in Kamloops and across BC are 50 km/h in urban areas, 80–100 km/h on rural highways and 120 km/h on select major highways. And remember to always watch for reduced speeds in construction zones!
What is parking like in Kamloops?
Parking in Kamloops is refreshingly stress-free. Most areas have affordable street parking, and there are plenty of lots near major attractions like the Kamloops Wildlife Park.
Planning to head downtown? You’ll find metered spots peppered throughout the streets (free after 6 pm), making it easy to park your rental car while you explore. Some popular options include the Seymour Street lot and the Lansdowne Village lot, both close to popular shops and restaurants.
Are there toll roads in Kamloops?
Good news — Kamloops doesn’t believe in toll roads! That means more cash for Tim Hortons runs or upgrading to that electric luxury SUV you’ve been eyeing. Just keep an eye out for construction zones, where speed limits drop faster than a hockey puck.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Kamloops?
Kamloops is well-equipped with fuel stops and EV chargers, so whether you’re driving an electric sedan or an old-school gas guzzler, you won’t run out of juice. For local fuel prices, you can check stations like Petro-Canada on Columbia Street or Shell on Tranquille Road before you set off.
If you’re driving an electric luxury sedan, be sure to check out EV stations at Aberdeen Mall and the Thompson Rivers University campus. If you need a top-up in more remote areas, plan ahead — fuel delivery service might not always be available, though roadside assistance call lines are generally reliable.
Do I need to rent a car in Kamloops?
Unless you’re planning to stick to downtown, renting a car in Kamloops is a no-brainer. Public transport won’t get you to the top of a ski slope or down to Kamloops Lake, but a rental car sure will. From hiking trails to breweries, having your own wheels means fewer headaches and more adventure.
