KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Whitehorse
- Choosing car hire in Whitehorse will allow you to explore the incredible national parks and wilderness regions of Canada’s Yukon Territory. Whitehorse is a small city and there are no public transport links to the surrounding areas. Hiring a car in Whitehorse will let you drive to stunning locations, like Kluane National Park and Marsh Lake, which cannot be reached by public transport. Whitehorse is also the starting point for the famous circular Yukon road trip, which allows drivers to cover most of the Yukon area via its main highways and then return to Whitehorse via Route 1. You can enjoy driving through the lakes south of Whitehorse and taking in the spectacular views from the car bridges too.
- If you’re flying into Whitehorse, you can pick up your hire car as soon as you arrive at Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport (YXY). Passengers landing here will find car hire desks located inside the main Arrivals Hall on the north side of the terminal. Once you have collected your hire car, you will be able to reach the city centre in around 10min by road, as opposed to around 30min by public transport.
- When you choose car hire in Whitehorse, you should get to know some of the Canadian driving conventions and customs before you go. One thing to watch out for while driving in Whitehorse is the use of carpool lanes, which are not common in the UK. Carpool lanes are usually found in urban areas and are marked with diamond symbols. You can only drive in the carpool lane if there are two or more people in your vehicle. If you are visiting Yukon in winter, you must also pay attention to weather conditions. Make sure you take blankets and warm clothes with you and don’t set out on long journeys into remote areas if the weather is likely to change.
- Yukon is sparsely populated and much of the area is wilderness, so you will generally find that the driving conditions are good and that the roads are mostly clear. Watch out for wildlife on the roads, especially if you are driving in forested areas where animals may emerge. You should also watch out for hikers walking near campsites during the summer months. If you are travelling for work and staying in Whitehorse, you will find that most traffic congestion occurs centrally and during rush hour, which generally falls from 07:00-09:00 and 15:00-18:00.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Whitehorse?
If you want to explore the surrounding Yukon landscape, a larger vehicle with off-road capacity, such as an SUV, is highly recommended. This type of vehicle is much easier to drive in difficult conditions, such as on dirt roads or roads with snow and ice on them, which you may encounter even during the summer months in Yukon. Even if you visit Whitehorse in the summer, a large vehicle with a more powerful engine will help you cross large distances more efficiently and will give you a better view of the road – perfect for enjoying the incredible scenery.

On dual carriageways, the speed limit is typically 80 km/h (50 mph), and on motorways, this limit goes up to 100 km/h (60 mph).

Cons:
A bit of a line up. A small operation with 4 cruise ships in town. Car, and information given was great. I highly recommend driving to Whitehorse if you have at least 8 or 9 hours.( can be done in 7 hours) Very scenic drive.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
What's not to like? The car was ready when I arrived, and I was on the road in minutes. The staff were very good. This is the place to rent a car in Skagway AK!10.0 Wonderful
Sept 2016
Pros:
Good selection of cars, quality of available vehicle overall is excellent. Onsite personnel are friendly, helpful and professional.Cons:
Somewhat pricey, but in Skagway, AL (pop 1057 as of 2015), they are pretty much the only game in town, as far as I know. Office could be a bit more spacious.9.6 Wonderful
Jun 2016
Pros:
Everything was great. The car was clean, filled with gas and ready to go when we arrived. Paperwork was handled quickly and efficiently and I appreciated the emails I received prior to pick-up confirming the AVIS location. We were fortunate in that it was a slow day for AVIS -- I was informed that the next three days they were sold out which would certainly affect the pick-up experience. Good value for Skagway, but expensive by lower-48 standards!10.0 Wonderful

Car hire insurance in Whitehorse
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Whitehorse car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Whitehorse.
Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Whitehorse car hire.
