jadephoenixx Posted January 14, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi, I tried searching, but couldn't find a definitive answer or anyone with first hand experience trying this. Ideally, my husband and I would like to rent a car and drive into the Yukon. I'm a Canadian citizen so I know I can't rent the car, but as the subject lines says, my husband's an American citizen living in Canada (with an Ontario driver's licence). I'd like to try to find out if he rented the car and drove across the border, would we be ok? Has anyone done this? I've read conflicting information about Canadian citizens vs residents, which makes a huge difference. If we can't rent the car, then we'll fork out the money for the Chilkoot tour. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted January 14, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The restriction is for "Canadian citizens and permanent residents", so neither of you can legally rent the car. While passports are the only document checked at the Fraser crossing, they usually ask where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadephoenixx Posted January 14, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks Yukon! I guess we'll be taking the 7.5 hr train/bus tour with Chilkoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban trekker Posted January 14, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Just a thought - do you know of anyone else on the cruise that is an American and could drive the car for you. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
