KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tofino

  • Tofino has numerous iconic landmarks and hidden gems, and you are better off exploring the places with Tofino car rentals. Unlike public transportation that operates on fixed and preset plans, car rentals in Tofino offer the flexibility and convenience to adventure the city and the nearby locations. With car hire in Tofino, you are unlimited to what you can do and places you can visit.

Drive with caution when approaching or overtaking them. Drive on the right and pass on the left. Always make other road users aware of your intentions.
  • Tofino is known for tiny roads and one-way streets; encountering heavy traffic during peak travel is typical. Several residents access the city center with private vehicles, and few roads access the city leading to vehicles and motorists scrambling for position.

The final price was much higher than the price in the reservation. Ther was so much extra fee's and taxes. The price goes up from 400 dollar to 600 dollar for 4 days without insurance. That's an increase of 50 percent. That's not really acceptable. That was my first an last time with kayak and budget.

After you add on their third party insurance it was extremely expensive, worked out to be $143 per day. That is extremely expensive in my books. The car was clean though and exactly what we booked.
