Vancouver to Kelowna in a Rental Car
There are many beautiful locations across BC that make for great road trips. A popular destination is The Okanagan. With beautiful scenery, vineyards, and entertainment for all ages, driving to Kelowna during the summer months is a journey many Vancouverites partake in.
Enjoy the journey
While you can fly from YVR to Kelowna, you will miss all the amazing locations and experiences you could get at all the amazing stops along the way. A road trip to Kelowna is worth getting a rental car and driving the 390- 460 km trip.
Driving to Kelowna from Vancouver
The drive to Kelowna from Vancouver takes between 4 to 6 hours, depending on what route you take, as well as the conditions of the roads. Long weekends are typically more busy than a day in the middle of the week, for example, which is to be expected.
Explore the beauty of British Columbia
Of all the routes, the most scenic option for driving to Kelowna is Highway 3, which is known as the Crowsnest Highway. Enjoy beautiful parkland, thick forests, and many family-owned fruit stands where you can stock up on fresh, organic fruit.
