Hallo zusammen,

bin ganz neu hier und hab vor ein paar Tagen Tickets für unsere erste Kanada Reise gebucht. Nun suche ich einen schönen Mietwagen.

Eigentlich hatte ich die Hoffnung einen Mustang vielleicht sogar als Cabrio mieten zu können. Nur leider finde ich nichts entsprechendes. Hat jemand vielleicht einen Tipp? Ach ja, Abholung und Rückgabe sollte Halifax sein...


Vielen Dank und viele Grüße

Hi Elduro,

there is not much I can help you with while finding the right rental-car company.
Just keep one thing in mind !
No rental place will rent a car to a person under the age of 25 in Canada.
I don't know if you do meet that age requirement or not.
The reason why is that insurance for drivers under 25 are incredible expensive over there (especially for sports-cars like a Mustang)
And..... you will need a valid credit card if you wanna rent ... no matter what (even for a Motel room)
I hope this helps.
Greetings,
Marc

Hello Marc,

thank you for the info. Unfortunately I am not younger than 25 Its more 10 years plus.

Why do you think i am so young? Because of the type of car i´m looking for?


I´m very enthusiastic about cars in general and since most of the american cars do not interest me that much, i just want to make sure that I get a car like.

Best regard
Elduro

Oh no.... sorry.... no pun intended...
It just seems to me that a lot of young folks (not that I think you're old ) are posting in this forum.
I just wanted to let you know... just in case
Usually all the big rental places are present at the airports in Canada, and I'm sure this is also the case in Halifax.
You'd be well advised though to book a car ahead of time.
Just for your info....sometimes there is still not the car available you like even if you booked.
They usually don't take it very seriously with that in Canada.
I once booked a midsized car in Calgary ahead of times and ended up with a full blown Chevy Suburban.
AVIS, Hertz, Alamo ... are some names that you should google.
Good luck and have a great trip.
The East coast is beautiful.... very rural but nice and relaxed.... and the seafood is the best..... even McDonald has sometimes a lobster-burger
If you like seafood.... try a 'Boston clam chowder' .... its soup..... I could kill for it ...
Cheers,
Marc
