Heading to Calgary

[sumdumguy]

For a rental you can try "cheap cars for rent. Com" . You gotta keep checking both airport location and downtown pick-up as rates change everyday.

[LEP]

Not sure about taking a Canadian rental car into the USA. You will need to check that one

[Jagfarms]

If you get a international drivers licence you should be ok with almost any insurance company

[biglentil]

Takes a few weeks to get used to driving on wrong side of the road. You'll also appreciate the genius of your roundabouts vs our idiotic traffic lights.

wife paid for tickets yesterday
Adelaide Brisbane sanfransico Calgary $3152 two tickets return.
8th ausgust to 30 august

now sorting out pick up hire. someone told me a aussie traveller said Toyota tundra I think he said are a good vehicle option.

driving from Calgary to dawson creek seems I keep on eastern side of rockies whole time?

and Calgary to plevna montana is a fair haul might have to call in on someone for a overnight stay or beer

yep all my trips are like this slightly unorganized and go with the flow

hehe I got married in Thailand now that was a adventure making bit all legal etc and no I didn't marry a thai bride my wife is actually half swiss half Austrian but born in Australia.

cheers guys didn't realize Calgary was so big might even leave car hire till I get there

[sumdumguy]

Maybe Rent a smaller motor home. A friend told me they rented one for 2 weeks, with 6 Chinese women to Toronto and Niagra for $750, no mileage charge.

[Braveheart]

6 Chinese women? Lol. Quite a trip. They don't take up much room. You could cram them into a Honda CRV, which stands for ChInese Recreational Vehicle.

[sumdumguy]

That's agood one. I told him to take the Ho Chi Min Trail.

[malleefarmer]

trying to find info about renting Toyota tundra again difficult might just wait till I get there
all the drought talk might have to get a pair of shorts my legs rarely see sunlight

[Braveheart]

Mallee, I'm curious as to why you want a truck? It would be much cheaper to rent a car (not muscle or exotic/luxury). I think certain SUVs would be cheaper as well.

Did you mean Viagra

[malleefarmer]

yeah braveheart your correct maybe settle for car just always wanted to cruise around in a ram or Silverado don't get em here and my last trip probably.

question Calgary to dawson creek seems I stay on east side of rockies whole way?

my wife hates driving in cars prefers 4 wheel drives feels safer she reckons

[Braveheart]

I say, if you're looking for the experience, go for it. Life is too short. Both the Ram and the Silverado are nice. I like the Chev.

I'm not from Alberta, but yes, you will be on the east side of the Rockies for that excursion.

[Cattleman]

Mallee, if you are going to Dawson, for the tourist route I would try and take highway 93 from Banff to Jasper and then up to Dawson. Supposed to be a very nice drive if wanting to see the rockies. At least that is what I have heard, I have not even done that drive! Maybe others have though...

[malleefarmer]

Times against me a bit cattleman been kinda rushed trip/planning.

But crikey airfares $1550 aust to sanfransico then Calgary. remember when I travelled in 86 think it was almost $4000
