The city of Yellowknife is the capital of the Northwest Territory and is also the largest city in the area.

Car hire in Yellowknife Airport lets you travel around the region taking in all there is to offer. Take a trip to Capital Area Park where the children can let off some steam while you relax or walk around the park before stopping off for a picnic.
Renting a car in Yellowknife Airport gives you the chance to head to the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre which houses a large collection of objects that represent the people of the Northwestern Territories. These exhibitions explain all about the lives of the people that lived in the area, as well as telling stories about the history of the region. After a busy day drive the short distance into the central business district and eat out at The Wildcat Café. The Café, which is housed in a log cabin, is said to be the oldest restaurant in Yellowknife.
Hiring a car in Yellowknife Airport lets you freely discover this area rich in culture.
