Renting a Car?

FYI Canada has a curious policy for drivers insured in the USA. We need to call our insurance provider to get a "Canadian insurance card". My experience has been it is super easy, they can even fax it to you if it is last minute. Small card that pretty much states you are insured by x insurance policy and just says Canada on it... weird I know.

U.S. driver’s licenses are valid for visitors in Canada. Proof of auto insurance is required. U.S. auto insurance is accepted as long as an individual is a tourist in Canada. U.S. insurance firms will issue a Canadian insurance card, which should be obtained and carried prior to driving into Canada. For specific information concerning Canadian driving permits, mandatory insurance and entry regulations, please contact the Canadian National Tourist Organization.
