Car rental in L'Anse-Pleureuse

Just like driving on the left-hand side in Britain, driving in Quebec is done on the right-hand side of the road. And, much to your convenience, road signs here are bilingual – in both French and English.

Car Class Recommendations

Given the nature of Quebec's vast terrain and somewhat less predictable weather, a sturdy yet comfortable SUV or all-wheel drive car is recommended for all year round travels. This allows for smooth and competent driving throughout the abundant snowfall during winter months, and lets you venture off-road to explore the beauty of Quebec's wilderness.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Speed limits are marked in kilometers per hour (km/h), not miles per hour (mph) - so make sure to keep an eye on your speedometer! Zones in built-up areas usually have a limit of 50 km/h while the rural roads allow for a speed of 90 km/h.

Parking

Parking, like in any location, depending on the area, can be free or paid. Throughout L'Anse-Pleureuse there are ample car parks with reasonable rates and free parking options also being abundantly available.
