correct ferry to visit vancouver with a rental car
 

can a take a rental car from seattle on a ferry to vancouver

There are no ferries between Seattle and Vancouver.

Do you mean Victoria? As noted in the previous post, no ferries between Seattle and Vancouver (no water to cross between the two).

Actually, yes.

Take one ferry to Victoria, either from Seattle or from Northern Washington State. Drive around Victoia, and then to one of two locations on Vancouver Island (where Victoria is) and take a ferry from Vancouver Island to either just north of the city of Vancouver, or just south.

Remember, however, that it is a lot esier to return the car to a rental company office back in the US than it is to leave the car in Canada.

thank you for ur help, im taking my two teens (16,&12) to seattle, of course we have never taken the ferry, and we keep hearing about it. we plan to rent a car in the city, stay for 2 days and take ferry to victoria, and of course if i have time to vancouver, as i said what ever its easier, then return to seattle to fly back to lax
so my concern was i have a rental car!!! but thank you for ur help.
but i thank you for ur help

since u been so kind, do u know if i need to have the ferry tickets in advanced?
i apologized my english is not to that great.

Depends on exactly when you're traveling, but as a rule, reservations on the ferries from WA to Victoria (either the Coho via Port Angeles or the WA State Ferry via Anacortes) are a good idea, as are reservations on the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver.

ok, thanks, and if we decided to just take ferry to victoria, would we need reservations?
by the way thank you so much for ur help, can i ask u do u live on seattle?
we r flying from burbank or lax.

Yes, reservations on the car ferry routes from WA to Victoria are a good idea as indicated above, but whether you'll absolutely *need* them depends on which route, when you're traveling, time of day, etc.

I do live in Seattle and travel frequently to Victoria and Vancouver.

thank you nwwanderer, well my kids and i visited seattle like ten years ago, and we been recomended to stay on pier 57, or 58.
thanks so much for ur help
