A self-drive holiday in Canada is a great option due to the excellent condition of most roads, which are safe and largely empty, plus of course there's the wonderful scenery to enjoy.

A self-drive holiday in Canada (sometimes referred to as a fly-drive) can give you the flexibility to explore at your own pace.
You may not wish to start your Canada fly-drive immediately after an international flight as driving is on the right side of the road, so we can arrange to have you met at the airport and taken to your hotel. Alternatively, there are car rental depots at most airports and we can ensure a car is waiting for those who wish to be on the road within minutes of landing.
We will book all your accommodation in advance and provide you with clear and detailed driving instructions leaving you free to relax and enjoy the many scenic delights that you will pass on the way.
Being such a huge country it's only really possible to undertake a self-drive trip to Canada within one or two regions at a time; a normal route for the first-time visitor being Vancouver to Calgary or visa versa. These cities offer every amenity with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops.
Away from the major cities you can drive to the stunning Banff and Jasper National Parks, spending time in small, quiet towns like Canmore.
Typically, you should set aside around three weeks for a self-drive holiday in Canada.
Remember, this is only an example and we can tailor-make a Canada self-drive trip for you in most parts of the country. Below are examples of itineraries which are good for self-drive.
