Driving conditions in Alberta are pretty friendly, even for newbies. If you're coming from Montana, driving across the border into the province is surprisingly quick and easy. Also, Alberta highways are moderately busy, and the various road and traffic signs are very clear. Alberta Road Department has ensured that construction work along motorways is minimal, to avoid distractions and long backups and consequently, time wastage. In most of Alberta, it is not surprising to find an extra lane that's purely dedicated to vehicles moving faster than the regular flow of traffic. This makes it easier for faster drivers to pass slower traffic, when necessary. It’s crucial to keep in mind the time of year and season when hiring a car in Alberta. For example, during the summer months, it’s wise to pick a car that has air conditioning and is not susceptible to heating up excessively; whereas, during the winter season, it’s a good idea to choose a vehicle with good traction and stability control, to avoid skidding on icy roads during snow storms.

Currently in Alberta, you must be at least 21 years old to hire a car. Some Alberta car hire agencies allow younger drivers to hire vehicles, but you’ll need to check with them individually. A “young driver fee” generally applies to those under the age of 25, which is used to cover the risk of accidents and damages, while they may only be able to hire certain types of vehicles. You should read any fine print carefully to avoid unpleasant surprises involving costs, since policies differ from dealer to dealer.
