If you’re looking for something fancy, keep looking . If you’re looking for something reliable, clean, compact but spacious and the AC blows nice and cold , this is your ride ! It got me to Halifax and back with zero issues, kept up with traffic no problem and I am absolutely blown away but the fuel efficiency the host is super nice and easy to deal with to top off a great experience. 10/10 will rent again if I’m ever in need of a rental again.
The car is a great one to drive. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful. I will rent again from them.

Top tips for renting a car in Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island is a charming island with lots to see and experience, so you'll want to soak up every minute of your visit. This is why it's handy to brush up on the road rules of the province. Here are our top tips for getting around Prince Edward Island.
What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Prince Edward Island?
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!
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Prince Edward Island?
Driving in Prince Edward Island is calm and easy, with slower speeds, beautiful scenery, and polite drivers. You’ll experience a mix of coastal routes with sweeping ocean views and rural roads where you might pass tractors, cyclists, or even horse-drawn carriages.
Speed limits are generally 90 km/h on major highways and 80 km/h on secondary roads, which drop lower in towns and villages. Drivers are known for their courtesy, and it’s common to see a friendly wave when you let someone merge. Be mindful to give cyclists at least a one-metre clearance when passing.
Always make sure you're wearing a seatbelt, and only operate your phone hands-free while you're driving. It's handy to plan your route in advance, allow extra time for photo stops or detours, and keep an eye out for wildlife or changing weather in rural areas. Driving here is relaxed and scenic - perfect for a laid-back road trip.

Yes, there is a toll road in Prince Edward Island, the Confederation Bridge, which links the island to New Brunswick.
Do I need to rent a car in Prince Edward Island?
Yes, we definitely recommend renting a car in Prince Edward Island. While Charlottetown has some public transportation, it’s limited, and exploring the rest of the island - its scenic coastal drives, quiet beaches, and charming villages - is much easier with your own vehicle. Booking through Turo makes it simple to find the right car for your trip.
Public transit primarily serves Charlottetown and Summerside, making it challenging to reach rural areas or hidden gems without a car. With a rental car booked on Turo, you can explore at your own pace, stop for photos whenever you like, and take in the island’s rolling hills, red sand beaches, and beautiful viewpoints. It’s also far more convenient for carrying luggage, local groceries, or beach gear on day trips beyond the main towns.

Travel at your own pace, make spontaneous stops, and enjoy the freedom to see the island your way.
