The city
Why a car comes up in St. John's.
St. John's car rental, including the Newfoundland wording that points at the same city, is a regional search. The downtown streets are steep and walkable in pieces. The car earns itself on the coast roads, in fog, and when the airport is the start of a windy day.
The airport is not the harbour. See St. John's airport if the flight is the start, and stay on this page for the city and the coast roads.
Driving
The roads that decide the vehicle.
Hills and a changeable sky are the driving. A low wide car is less useful than something you can see out of. Distances on the island surprise people who looked at a small dot on a national map.
Do not expect this page to post road closures. Check a current source when you travel.
Season
The year is not one trip.
Weather is the season. Summer can still be fog. Winter is serious. Plan the day shorter than a prairie straightaway would allow.
No local fleet is claimed.
Vehicles
What people usually need here.
A sensible car or SUV beats a style choice. Groups sometimes want a passenger van, which is a handful on these streets. Think about who will drive it.
Beyond
Nearby, without pretending it is the same city.
The airport guide is the arrival. The rest of the island is not given a fake city list.
