Welcome to the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal car rental page. We list all the information you need to know about Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal car rental options, including which side do you drive on, manual or automatic transmission, local Victoria driving stress, licences, and more. You may also compare your Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal car hire options and search for the best available Victoria car rental rates in the search box below. Some advice on how to protect yourself when renting a car.



Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal Car Rental

There are no car rental agents at the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal.

 

Car rentals are available either in Sidney or at the Victoria International Airport (YYJ), both nearby. Sidney is an easy bus ride away, and this is what the majority of travellers do if they would like a car once they are off the ferry.


Alternatively if you are staying in downtown Victoria, it may be easier to catch the bus to downtown and then pick up your car there.


Victoria Driving Information:
 
Driving is on the right side of the road.
 
All Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal cars are automatic transmission.
 
Your local drivers' licence is required.

An International Drivers' Permit (or IDP) may be required, especially if your local drivers' licence is in a language other than the local language.

An IDP allows an individual to drive a motor vehicle locally and it must be accompanied by a valid drivers' license from your home country. Details on if an IDP will be required will be given when you pick up your car.
 
Victoria Driving Stress Level: 2/10

Victoria has non-aggressive, and slow drivers. The Pat Bay highway into town has several traffic lights, meaning that you will rarely reach the speed limit.

 

If you decide to explore Vancouver Island, drive with care. While the Malahat Drive (a section of the highway between Victoria and Duncan) is scenic, it is also dangerous, with more than its fair share of fatalities. Reduce the risk by driving in daylight, using designated pull-outs for gawking (otherwise, keep your eyes on the road!), avoid driving in poor weather, and adhere to posted signs and speed limits.
