Keep a few things in mind when driving in this region. The driving style and culture in Newfoundland and Labrador is relaxed and friendly, reflecting the laid-back nature of the locals. However, be aware that driving conditions can vary depending on where you are. In more populated areas like St. John's, you may encounter busier streets and more traffic. As for speed limits, they are generally similar to the rest of Canada, typically ranging from 50 to 100 km/h (30 to 60 mph). Keep an eye out for wildlife crossing the roads, especially in rural areas, and be prepared for changing weather conditions, including fog and rain.

To hire a car in Newfoundland and Labrador, you need to be at least 21 years old with a valid licence older than a year. However, note that some car hire companies may have additional age restrictions and apply surcharges for drivers under 25. Make sure your licence is in English, or accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP) if not. Bring along a credit card for the security deposit and any necessary payments.
