To get double TPs I need to book on BAH both the flights and a car rental (5 nights).

If I book the car in YVR on BAH will that count to get the double TPs, even though I am not flying there on BA? I am assuming that BAH will allow me to make that car rental. Otherwise, I will book in YYZ (where the need for a car is not as important). Thanks for advice.

There's no requirement for the car or hotel to be in the same place as where you fly to/from. The 'requirement' to actually use the car/hotel (of dubious practical enforceability) which was added some months back closes the loophole which this previously offered.
