Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Nova Scotia car reservation?
We know that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That’s why many prepaid bookings provide a complete refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours prior to the pickup time. It’s a good idea to read over the agreement though as there are some exemptions. If there’s nothing specified there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Nova Scotia?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you’re traveling with the family, or level up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked rental in Nova Scotia. Affordable and with great mileage, they’re a good fit for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn’t need a great deal of room. They’re particularly suited to driving around cities. Slipping into cramped parking spots will be a walk in the park!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Nova Scotia with Expedia?
Check customer ratings, choose your car class and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Nova Scotia car rental with flight or hotel bookings and start your road trip with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Nova Scotia?
The minimum age to rent a car in Nova Scotia is 21. A young driver surcharge usually applies, so check before booking and budget for any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between suppliers, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Nova Scotia?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Nova Scotia?
Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose your ideal ride. Whether you’re staying in Nova Scotia or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Nova Scotia car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Nova Scotia often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, however others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. It’d be smart to read the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to avoid extra charges when picking up your keys.
