Canada - moving around the country

Canadians rarely use taxi services, as it is expensive and inappropriate for long distance travel. There is as well the fact that the territory of Canada is quite extensive, and some neighboring cities are located at a considerable distance from each other. Billing is not only calculated by taking into account the mileage, but also the time spent on the trip. A kilometer’s ride costs about one dollar, and for every minute a taxi driver waits, you will pay at least forty cents. In large cities of Canada, bicycles are popular too. For this purpose, special cycling routes have been set up that run along the central roads and connect not only neighboring areas, but also the center with suburban areas. In order to rent a car, you must first familiarize yourself with the peculiarities of Canada’s traffic rules. The required age for a person to be eligible to rent a car is from 23 years. The availability of an international driving license is yet another prerequisite. You will also need a credit card and a driving experience of three years.
