KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Burnaby

  • Enjoy the advantages of car hire in Burnaby for a convenient exploration of this vibrant city. With a hire car, you have the flexibility to navigate Burnaby's extensive road network and easily access its various attractions. Explore the stunning landscapes of Burnaby Mountain Park, visit the vibrant Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre, or take a scenic drive to the nearby attractions like the beautiful Deer Lake Park or the majestic Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Burnaby car hire provides you with the freedom to customise your itinerary.
  • When you arrive at Burnaby, you'll most likely fly into Vancouver International Airport (YVR), which is conveniently located around 15 km (9 miles) away. At the airport, you can find car hire offices situated directly within the terminal buildings. Once you have retrieved your luggage and passed through Customs, simply keep an eye out for the signs directing you to the designated "Car Rental" area within the airport. With car hire in Burnaby, you can easily access the city and its surrounding areas.
  • When driving in Burnaby, be aware of the city's vibrant pedestrian activity, especially around bustling areas like Metrotown or the Heights. Exercise caution and give priority to pedestrians, as they may cross the road unexpectedly. Additionally, watch for cyclists sharing the road, especially along popular bike routes like the Central Valley Greenway. Familiarise yourself with the city's parking regulations, as street parking may have restrictions or require permits in certain areas.
  • During weekday rush hours, typically between 07:30 and 09:00 and 15:30 and 18:30, you can expect heavier traffic congestion on major routes such as Highway 1 and Kingsway. These times are particularly busy due to commuter traffic. Additionally, during winter months, certain areas of Burnaby, such as the higher elevations near Burnaby Mountain, may experience challenging driving conditions due to snowfall and icy roads. Stay informed about weather updates and exercise caution when driving in these areas during winter.
  • Book your car hire in Burnaby at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Burnaby are around 6% more expensive than other car types, on average

    In Burnaby, public parking options are available in various locations throughout the city. When visiting popular areas like Metrotown, parking is typically available in designated car parks.

Car hire insurance in Burnaby

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

Some Burnaby 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 Burnaby.

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 Burnaby car hire.
