Browse helpful tips for renting a car in St. John's including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 14 August 2025.
- Renting a car in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, is a great way to see everything this city has to offer. While there are some public buses in St. John’s, the city is spread out, and taking buses will add to your travel time. As a result, the best way to get around is to get car rentals in St. John’s as they will give you the freedom to explore the city at your own pace and on your own schedule. You can drive up to Signal Hill to enjoy some hiking or drive through the colorful rows of houses downtown.
- If you are getting car rentals in St. John’s and you will have kids with you, keep in mind that there are specific child car seat laws in St. John’s. Infants must ride in a rear-facing seat in the back of the vehicle until they reach a weight of 9 kg (20 lb) while older children must ride in a forward-facing seat in the back of the vehicle until they weigh 18 kg (40 lb). You can always request a car seat to be added to your rental.
- One of the challenges specific to driving in Newfoundland is that you might encounter wildlife such as moose on the roads. Moose tend to wander into the roadways, so always round curves cautiously and drive at a reasonable speed. If you see a moose, slow down or stop your car altogether, turn on your hazards, and wait until the moose has completely left the roadway. Ensure that it is not coming back as you start to accelerate again.
