Driving in Canada
U.S. citizens do not need to obtain an international driver's license to
drive in Canada. Your valid U.S. license is good for trips in Canada as
long as you are a visitor and are actually resident in the U.S. Should
you wish information on provincial traffic laws, please contact the
Department of Transport. BCAA members are covered by the CAA while
traveling in Canada. Be sure to carry proof of your car insurance.
Winter travel can be dangerous due to heavy snowfalls that make road
conditions difficult. Holiday periods can also be dangerous because of
increased traffic. Travelers should be cautious of deer, elk, and moose
when driving in the mountains. Please remember: Speed limits are
posted in Kilometres Per Hour.
