Gas is cheapest around Nanaimo so if you go up island fill up there and then fill up again in Victoria before returning the car.

A hybrid model is an excellent choice to save on gas.

Renting a car is far superior (both logistically and frequently in cost, too) to bringing your own car on the ferry from Port Angeles. The exception would be if you are planning on spending days driving up island. A car downtown is nothing but a big parking fee. But if you must park downtown the Empress garage is convenient and surprisingly reasonably priced. Rent a car for a trip to Butchart Gardens- you can stay as long as you want, and even come back in the evening to see the Gardens after dark, a totally different experience than seeing them in daylight.

AzaadJul 2023

If staying downtown lots of parking options ranging from $15-30 per day and didn’t have any major concerns about vehicle safety or auto crime. Meter parking also an option (pay 8am-8pm and free otherwise). Not a difficult place to drive and I recommend renting a vehicle if you like to check out nearby parks, lakes, and outdoor activities in addition to seeing the city amenities.

National car service a the airport was very quick anded convenient and the employees at National were terrific!! Being treated politely and with respect was very much appreciated! I would recommend renting from National in Victoria!

Easy to find - go first inside the airport to find agent.

Renting a car in Victoria lets you explore the city and its surroundings on your own schedule without having to pay for cabs or face the crowds in public transports. Perched on the edge of Vancouver Island, the city has lots of places you can drive to such as Beacon Hill Park. A hire car is also perfect for discovering other destinations outside Victoria, including the scenic route to nearby Saanich Peninsula, which is only 45 minutes away.
All the big car hire agencies can be found at Victoria International Airport (YYJ), which is located approximately 25 km (15.5 miles) north of Victoria. Car hire services are situated in the arrivals hall of the airport's passenger terminal, straight across from the Information Desk. Handicap hand controls are available with some companies when requested in advance.
Victoria itself is a fairly easy city to navigate, but remember that traffic signs will be expressed in kilometers rather than miles. If you're heading to other destinations outside the city, beware that some back roads may be trickier, especially in the winter months. Vancouver Island is also popular among cyclists, so be extra careful when driving through the area.
Traffic around Victoria usually flows nicely throughout the whole day, especially when compared to other big cities in Canada and the U.S., but driving into or out of the city during morning or evening rush hour can be a bit chaotic. Avoid driving into the city between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and out of the city between 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Double charged me , over $900 on my card for a different reservation when I prepaid for my reservation. Having to waste hours of my time trying to get this money back now. Picking up was a disaster and tons of people waiting hours past reservation time, most ended up cancelling and going with other company at airport.
