Top Tips for Renting a Van in Halifax

  • Halifax Van Rentals offer a convenient transportation option for groups or families exploring the city and nearby regions. Vans can accommodate more people and luggage, making it easier to explore different parts of the city as a group. They offer a more affordable transportation option compared to renting different standard cars for the same group. You can drive to Peggy’s Cove or head northwest to the Annapolis Valley, famous for its lush vineyards, orchards, and scenic beauty.
  • If you’re visiting Halifax, you’ll fly into Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ), approximately 22 miles from the city. The airport hosts different car rental providers with van rentals, including Dollar, Thrifty, Budget, Avis, National, Alamo, Hertz, and Enterprise. The car rental desk is on the lower level of the airport. You can also rent a van from different off-airport locations in Halifax, including Downtown Halifax, Bedford, North End, Clayton Park West, Dartmouth Woodlawn, Dartmouth Burnside, and Lower Sackville. Choose a provider with a more convenient pickup or drop-off location.
  • Driving in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is generally easy. Roads are well-maintained with clear signage and proper markings. Drivers in the city are generally courteous. Pedestrians have the right of way in Halifax, so watch out and yield to them when necessary. Observe caution when driving in the downtown area, residential, and business districts, which have more pedestrians and cyclists. The general speed limit in Halifax is 40 km/h (25 mph) on residential streets and urban areas, 50 to 80 km/h (31 to 50 mph) on secondary roads, and 100km/h (62 mph) on most highways. Watch out for the speed limits on different roads.
  • Traffic isn’t a major issue in Halifax. However, there may be some congestion during rush hour, especially on the main roads leading into and out of the city. Rush hour in Halifax typically occurs from 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 7 pm. The heaviest traffic is usually on Halifax Harbor Bridges, MacDonald Bridge, Highway 1, Spring Garden Road, and Main Street, a major road that runs through Downtown Halifax. Avoid driving during rush hour or follow local traffic updates to find the best alternative routes.
  • Book your van rental in Halifax at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I ordered this booking 6 months ago, and I totally forgot about it. When I tried to find the booking, I couldn't find it, and had to make reservation with another source. It would be great if user would receive email notifications at least 2 weeks before reservations (and preferably 1-day prior and same day)

Good service once the office was found but very very difficult to find it. Address provided for Enterprise (2000 Garrison) is a large office building with no reception. Nowhere was any indication of Enterprise (close to elevator, whatsoever). Asked construction workers in the hallway and they told me to take elevator go up one floor and cross a glass door... Did so and was facing a stairway leading to ???? Finally a worker from the building told me how to reach the office but through the storey garage. Saw an empty mini-glassed room with a desk...noone there, no sign or directions to reach someone. Waited some 10 minutes there thinking the employee was probably delivering a vehicule...there were vehicules all around. Noticed a man leaning on aa wall and playing with his cell. I had walked beside him when looking for office. Got closer...noticed the enterprise logo on his jacket. Asked him where was the office. He took me there... was NOT easily reachable. When I told the young man Said at the counter how it turned out to be a challenge to find their office, he laughed and told me they knew and that it was easier to find through the foodcourt of the building. Well...DIRECTIONS TO FIND ENTERPRISE OFFICE EASILY FOR PICK-UP is definetely a problem they need to fix. They did not have the SUV I had reserved/requested (Ford Escape) but offered a Toyota Rav4...which is better in my opinion. The ride was nice. Return of the vehicule was easy.

Could not rent the car as I did not have physical D/L. I had a digital Diver’s License as provided by the State of Louisiana, It is all that one is required to have as it contains all information, the original photo on the physical DL, and the QR code for scanning as well. Despite having this, along with a passport, and other forms of official ID, I could not rent the car and I could not cancel my reservation to receive a refund. Everyone reaches out when you seek to rent, but no one is readily available if there is an issue.
