【题目】WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CAR RENTAL IN CANADA
When you fly into Canada you don’t have many choices. A car is often the only way to reach the spectacular destinations which Canada is famous for. Most major car rental companies have offices at airports, towns and cities across the country.
What do you need in order to rent a car in Canada?
● Valid Driver’s license and International Driver’s Permit if your license is not in English or French.
● When picking up your car, you may have to show your passport and a return airline ticket.
● Credit Card for the deposit—Renting a car in Canada without a credit card is impossible.
Fly-Drive Packages from Home
You may get the best deal on car rental if you book a fly-drive package from home or if you book a long time in advance. Rental coast varies to a great extent, depending on the time of year, type of vehicle and length of rental.
Minimum Age
The driver has to be at least 21 years old and have a minimum of 12 months of driving experience in order to rent a car in Canada. A “Young Renter Fee” will be applied to your car rental, if you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and will be charged on top of the rental rate.
Insurance
Most car rental companies in Canada offer a collision damage waiver (CDW) for an additional charge. Some credit card companies include CDW insurance on car rentals when you use their cards to pay for the rental. Check your credit card’s terms and conditions.
Fuel and Service Stations
Most rental cars use unleaded gas. Remember, driving distances in Canada are long and a large amount of your vacation budget will go towards gasoline. Filling up in larger cities is usually cheaper than in small towns. If you are heading up to the Northwest Territories, gas prices will be much higher than in the south.
Cross-Border Travel
Some rental companies don’t allow their cars to drive across borders, like from Canada to the US or across provinces. If this is the case, watch out; GPS may be used to track your route.

这是一篇说明文。主要是告知人们在加拿大如何租车以及注意事项。
【1】细节理解题。根据原文可知A、C是可以省钱的,D则直接会导致无法租车,均排除。在原文Minimum Age下面的第二句话A “Young Renter Fee" will be applied to your car rental, if you are between the ages of 21 and 24 and will be charged on top of the rental rate.可知,如果年龄在21-24岁间会额外收费,而要想租车的基本条件就是驾驶时间为12个月及以上,因此选B。
【2】细节理解题。根据原文GPS会记录你的行踪因此不要开出边界,排除A、D;要提供有效的驾驶证,如果驾照是非英语或法语的,要国际驾驶许可证,而不是让你只能提供英语驾驶证,排除B。在原文倒数第四行Filling up in larger cities is usually cheaper than in small towns可知,在大城市加油会比小城镇便宜,因此建议在大城市加油。故选C。
