Hire a Mini Cooper in Vancouver, BC





We just got a lead from one of our visitors about MINI rentals over at the Budget location in Burnaby, BC. From speaking with one of their friendly employees, it sounds like they have two Cooper S hardtops for rent in chili red and powder white. They might even have a silver one as well.

Their MINIs rent for just CA$59/day, and are available at the Burnaby location (604-668-7230) just west of Vancouver, located at 2685 Gilmore Ave. Their MINIs may only be reserved on a same-day basis, which I'm assuming means you need to wait until the day you want to rent a MINI to call them.

Vancouver even has two Mini clubs: Vancouver Mini Club & BC MINI Cooper Society. Be sure to check out their websites so you can check join them in one of their activities while you're in town.

I've only been to Vancouver once and loved it. What a beautiful city surrounded by majestic mountains, luscious pines and, of course, friendly Canadians. Unfortunately, we didn't know about the MINI rentals over in Burnaby and had to settle for a Dodge Cobalt. That won't happen again.

Before you leave, be sure to pick up a copy of Frommer's guide to Vancouver.
