Which Vancouver car rental companies allow their rental cars to enter the US for a significant period of time (four weeks or longer), assuming the car will be returned to them in Vancouver? I'm an Australian citizen.

Are you a Canadian Citizen, an American, or some other? This makes a difference.– CGCampbellCommented May 15, 2015 at 2:30

Better question: Which companies do not.– CGCampbellCommented May 15, 2015 at 2:59

@CGCampbell Added a note that I'm an Australian. As such, I don't have much experience with rental cars and international boundaries. I know some offered cross-boundary rentals but I would have thought there'd be limits?– dlanodCommented May 15, 2015 at 3:21

2I have not noticed any limits in car rental contracts and it's quite common to cross the Canadian-US border with rental cars in either direction ( returning the car in the country of origin). Insurance is usually valid either side. Mexico is a completely different situation. Suggest you shop for a rental, then confirm. Four weeks+ is a relatively long rental and different rules may apply to the insurance.– Spehro PefhanyCommented May 15, 2015 at 12:10

Actually most companies make you sign that you will not take the car to the US. I regularly rent cars in Canada and almost always told not to take it over the border. It's too bad because it's very close and I could refill the tank for less.– ItaiCommented May 22, 2015 at 17:39

There doesn't seem to be an issue with you taking a car from Vancouver and returning it in the US.
Just did a search on Kayak picking up in Vancouver Airport and dropping off in SeaTac airport and the major rental companies are happy to oblige even though it's getting a bit pricey.
