Car Hire Banff

Discount Car Hire in Banff

Located in western Canada, the mountain village of Banff, Alberta continues to be a major holiday destination for people all over the country. This unique resort town is the first community to ever be incorporated within the boundaries of a national park. During the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, workers stumbled upon the steaming geothermic baths for which the town is so famous. Since then people have flocked to Banff in order to bathe in the mineral rich hot springs as they enjoy the wonders of Banff National Park. Auto Europe offers the best rates for all car hires in Banff. Our Best Rate Guarantee allows you to rest assured that you've received a great deal.

Travelling Banff in a Car Hire

In 1885, Banff National Park was declared the first national park in Canada. Thousands of people each year come to discover over 6,000 square kilometres of protected mountains, lakes, rivers and wildlife. The park has endless trails which weave through the landscape offering hikers of any level an adventure that suits them. When you book your car hire in Banff, take Route 1A through the Bow Valley Parkway for an amazing country cruise or spend a relaxing afternoon on the banks of Lake Louise. Your Canadian holiday awaits you.

Banff Upper Hot Springs was once a sacred place of healing for Native Canadians. This paradise high in the Canadian Rockies has been attracting people from far and wide for over a century. When you book your hire car in Banff you will be allowed to soak your stress away in one of the soothing basins as you are graced by majestic mountain scenes. More recently a facility has been built that features showers, lockers and towel rentals, as well as one indoor and one outdoor cafeteria. People tend to visit following their day trip, so the afternoon can be busy. The morning tends to be quieter and bestows beautiful sunrises upon those who visit during this magical time.

One of the greatest joys of hiking is the spectacular views you get atop lofty mountains. Your journey on the Banff Gondola will give you the same breathtaking views without the physical exertion. Seating four passengers, the gondola is completely enclosed and rises over 2,200 meters (7,500 feet) to the top of Sulphur Mountain. Have your camera prepared to capture some amazing shots of the scenery and the wildlife below (people regularly see Grizzlies, Black Timber Wolves and Lynx.) When you reach the Upper Summit Terminal you will find a restaurant surrounded by graceful promenades with spectacular views. Book your car hire in Banff and discover the Canadian wilderness.
