KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Terrace

  • Key among the advantages of renting a car from the car rentals in Terrace is its flexibility and convenience to explore the region at your own pace, reaching remote areas that public transport can't easily access. Compared to buses or trains, a car from Terrace car rentals is time-efficient and convenient, especially when traveling with a significant amount of luggage or as a group. Some popular spots like Kalum River, Heritage Park Museum, and Lakelse Lake Provincial Park are more accessible with a rental car.
  • Terrace Airport (YXT) is the destination airport for most travelers who fly to Terrace, BC. To rent a car at YXT, you'll visit the rental car offices located within the terminal building, near the baggage claim area on the ground level. Upon exiting the arrivals area, you'll find the rental car counters adjacent to the baggage claim. The onsite car rentals include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National.
  • While driving your rented car from the car rentals in Terrace, please ensure you're sober. Strict regulations are in place for drunk driving, with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% being implemented. Using your phone while driving is prohibited unless you're employing a hands-free technology. When approaching busy streets, especially in the business district or downtown, be vigilant not to hit jaywalkers. Lastly, if you are traveling with kids, ensure they are in an appropriate child safety seat. These are rear-facing seats for infants up to 2 years, forward-facing seats for kids between 2 and 4 years, and booster seats for children aged 5 to 8.
  • In Terrace, BC, rush hour often occurs around 7:30 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 5:30 pm on weekdays. Some of the most affected roads include Highway 16 and Keith Avenue. The congestion on these roads during these rush hour periods is a recipe for regular accidents reported due to the tailgating nature of traffic jams. Winter weather realized between November and March can also be challenging due to heavy snowfall affecting road conditions. Since the city experiences significant snowfall, making driving difficult, especially on elevated routes, you're advised to equip your car from Terrace car rentals with winter tires or snow chains.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Terrace are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average
