Winter in BC Means Being Ready for Anything

Planning a winter getaway from Vancouver to Whistler? Make it worry-free with an AWD van rental Vancouver winter travelers rely on. At Executive Car Rentals, our fleet of AWD vans and SUVs are fully winterized with snow tires, giving you safety and comfort on every icy BC road.

Vancouver winters are breathtaking — mountain views, snowy weekends in Whistler, and cozy Christmas getaways with family and friends. But as anyone who’s driven the Sea-to-Sky Highway knows, winter driving in British Columbia requires serious preparation. Snow, black ice, and steep grades can turn a simple trip into a challenge.

As of October 1st, snow tires are mandatory for all vehicles traveling to Whistler, and police have already started roadside checks. At Executive Car Rentals, every SUV and van in our fleet is fully equipped for winter with dedicated snow tires, AWD traction, and emergency kits. When you rent with us, you’re not just renting a vehicle — you’re renting peace of mind.

BC Winter Driving Laws for AWD Van Rentals

British Columbia enforces strict winter tire regulations from October 1 to March 31 on major mountain routes, including Highway 99 to Whistler. The RCMP conducts roadside checks to ensure vehicles meet tire requirements (look for the mountain snowflake ❄️ symbol on sidewalls).

Renting from Executive Car Rentals means your vehicle already meets every BC winter requirement — no need to worry about fines, unsafe tires, or last-minute upgrades.

Top 5 Winter Travel Tips for Safe Driving to Whistler

1. Book Early: Winter rentals, especially AWD SUVs and vans, sell out quickly around Christmas and New Year’s.

2. Leave Early: Morning departures give you more daylight and better visibility on the mountain roads.

3. Check Road Conditions: Use  https://drivebc.ca/mobile/pub/events/id/315091.html  before leaving.

4. Pack Smart: Include blankets, water, and snacks — though our vehicles come with emergency kits.
