Rare blizzard44ca Posted April 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Can anyone confirm that the previous restrictions on Canadians renting cars in the US (not being allowed to cross the border) have been relaxed? We are thinking of renting a car in Skagway to drive to Whitehorse, but it would be useless if we can't cross the border. Anyone have the facts?

mapleleaves Posted April 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The facts will be located with the Canada Border Services or similar agency. Relying on a travel forum for such info is a mistake.... how would you know if the advice you receive is correct ? The wrong info could easily ruin your day.

Stormsam Posted April 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I have a car booked through Avis for May 15th in Skagway and my understanding is that this changed on June 1, 2012 and it is now legal for Canadians to drive a US rental car into Canada. I did read it on a Canadian government website but can't find the link right now. I can let you know for sure when we get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carribbeanmic Posted April 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2014 http://www.ezbordercrossing.com/the-.../#.Uy97CLK9KSM I was just researching on the DYI drive and train for Skagway and found this link. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summerl30 Posted April 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2014 This so far is the most reputable Canadian page I have found so far. I'm trying to find something on the government site. I have a car rented in Skagway too, so I want to make sure. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/canadians-can-soon-bring-u-s-rental-cars-across-border-1.1129658 Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare blizzard44ca Posted April 17, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks guys! Was pretty sure the rule was gone, and confirmed by the link above. (Including the very scenario we are thinking of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
