perhaps so... if your visiting for a short time definitely don't bother though. If its raining in Squamish then go to Skaha.

vehicles in Canada are cheap but insurance (even 3rd party) is expensive. Take copies of your drivers licence extract (ie history of any fines etc) & copies of insurance history to get cheaper insurance (you need BOTH). petrol is ~$1 per litre so a somewhat efficient car is worth looking for - you WILL be driving long distances. driving for 2hours is nothing & doesn't get you very far in western Canada. eg: squish to Skaha 5hrs. squish to Canmore 11hrs.
