Renting a car or van
Many of the locations we list here are accessible by car or bike, but sometimes it's worth it to get some kids together and split a car or van for a day.
We recommend Island Rent-A-Car (250-384-4881)
or Enterprise Rent-A-Car (250-475-6900)
Ocean Island guests get a great discount with Island Rent-A-Car!
Drivers must be at least 21 years and have a valid drivers license (from anywhere) and a credit card. If you would like to rent a vehicle, let us know and we can book it for you.
Also, check out Vintage Rent-A-Car www.vintagerentacar.com if you feel like cruising around Victoria in style!
Some notes about buses
If you have a bike, you can take it on the bus and save tons of time. Give BC Transit a call at 250-382-6161 and ask them about how to get somewhere using bikes and buses. It's fast!
Since there's been a lot of changes to the regional transit system lately, it's a good idea to call them up and go over a route with them before doing it.
Renting Stuff
If you would like to book a mountain bike, scooter, kayak, canoe, baby stroller, rowboat, or powerboat, let us know at the front desk and we will call and make your reservation for you.
