Rental car issues on Vancouver Island
We are renting a car in Victoria and driving out to Tofino for a couple days relaxation. I thought I could just drop the car in Nanaimo and take the ferry over to Vancouver, but our car rental company says we have to return the car to the original rental location in Victoria. Any ideas on how to improve the overall plan while still having a car in Tofino and still going to Vancouver by ferry (rather than by plane)? Thanks.

Drop the car in Victoria and get the Pacific Coach bus to Vancouver. http://www.pacificcoach.com/

Thanks all for your suggestions. I was planning to check other car rental companies, but presumed all would have the same policy. I was wrong; the second company I checked allowed me to drop the car in Nanaimo near the ferry, so we are fine. Thanks again for your help.

We were planning on doing the same thing. Let me know what rental car agency to stay away from! How long are you planning on staying in Tofino? Did you find a good accommodation? I am still researching the options.
