We highly recommend that you rent a car to fully enjoy the beauty of Greater Victoria. Although many will assure you that you can reach everything you need to by foot, cab or bus - without a car you will be cutting yourself off from much of what Greater Victoria really has to offer over and above downtown attractions. For those of you arriving in Victoria via Seattle we bring to your attention the 20 minute flights available via Horizon Air. This is one way of avoiding long automobile line-ups at the ferries.

We recommend
National Car Rental, with 15 convenient Vancouver Island locations,
5 of which are in Greater Victoria. National offers affordable rates and
unlimited mileage but best of all they offer reliable service. National
also offers professional and prompt free shuttle service meeting all harbor, ferry,
hotel, and airport arrivals and departures.
