USA rental car in Canada

I've looked for some info on what is necessary for travel in Canada by
an USA rental car, but without much sucess.

I plan on renting a car in Seattle and visiting Vancouver. Is anybody
familiar with what is required (if anything) by the USA and/or
Canadian side?

Thanks in advance.

Not much. I just did that in August. Just make sure the rental car company
knows you are going to Canada. They rent cars for travel to Vancouver all
the time. Your own insurance should cover you.

Own insurance as in the one you buy from the rental company?
Or own insurance as in the one you have for your own car at home? If you are
American that may well be the case, but if you are British (for example)
that almost certainly will *not* apply.

There are two requirements.

* You must not be a resident of Canada.

* The rental company must give permission. Check on this when you
make the reservation. For some companies it's automatic, while
some (cheaper) places may limit where you can drive the car or
will charge a higher rate.

I have crossed in a rental car a lot, but in the eastern US. All I had
was the rental contract, but noone ever asked for it.
