About Renting a Car at Vancouver North
North Vancouver offers one rental agency and is an excellent base for nature lovers who want to explore Grouse Mountain, Capilano River, and Cypress Provincial Park without having to cross Lions Gate Bridge every day. The location provides immediate access to some of Vancouver's best outdoor attractions. North Vancouver is about 12 km north of Vancouver downtown via Lions Gate Bridge.
Grouse Mountain is just 8 km from North Van downtown, and Deep Cove with its kayaking tradition is reached in 20 minutes east. Squamish, the gateway to Stawamus Chief and world-class climbing, is 65 km north along Highway 99. Book the only agency in North Vancouver well in advance-inventory is very limited.
Lions Gate Bridge can get congested during rush hour; avoid driving toward Vancouver downtown 07:30–09:00 and 16:30–18:30. Take advantage of the location for early morning trips to Cypress Bowl or Grouse Mountain before the tourists arrive. Why rent a car in North Vancouver instead of Vancouver downtown?
If your destination is Grouse Mountain, Deep Cove, Capilano, or Squamish, you'll save time and avoid rush hour traffic on Lions Gate Bridge every day. How long does it take to drive from North Vancouver to Whistler? About 1–1.5 hours north along the Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99), depending on traffic and road conditions.
