Halifax is a relatively large city in Nova Scotia, so it does have a bit of public transportation, such as a local bus system. However, the rest of the province is primarily made up of smaller towns, such as Truro and New Glasgow. To move between cities and explore these more rural areas, having access to your own rental car is essential. Plus, Nova Scotia is famous for having some great road trip options, such as the Cabot Trail that circles Cape Breton.
Many of the roads in Nova Scotia are well paved, particularly within cities. In some more rural areas, particularly the mountains, you may come across steep roads that are a bit more difficult to navigate. In these rural areas, you will also want to be on the lookout for wild animals crossing the road, such as deer. You won’t come across much traffic in Nova Scotia, but there may be a bit more congestion on the roads in Halifax during rush hour. To avoid this, try not to drive between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.
Like many places in the United States, Nova Scotia requires its drivers to be at least 21 years old before they rent a car. If you are under the age of 25, you will usually be considered a ‘young driver’ and will be charged a supplemental daily fee. In addition to this age requirement, you will need to have been in possession of your license for at least one year. Your license cannot have any limitations or restrictions. Most companies will ask for you to pay for your rental with a major credit card, but some may accept debit cards.
