Thread Name: BS: Car Hire restrictions - US into Canada
Subject: BS: Car Hire restrictions - US into Canada
Sometime next year I'm planning a US/Canada trip and rather that the usual favourite Asheville NC, I'm aiming to visit friends in Boston, then move on to New Brunswick and Price Edward Island.
The questions which I'm sure fellow Catters will be able to supply sensible (or otherwise) answers to are...
Why do car hire companies seem very wary about hiring cars to people who want to drive from the US to Canda (and back needless to say)?
Is it an insurance issue or is there this strange bi-national dislike?
Is there some kind of additional premium that'll be loaded or is there a (national) hire company that is more tolerant of the whims of holiday makers!!!
