Accepted Answer

A valid passport is typically required for international customers renting a vehicle from Hertz in Ottawa. For domestic renters, a valid driver’s license is usually sufficient. In the United States and Canada, U.S. and Canadian residents generally only need a valid driver’s license.

Question 3

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The Hertz fuel policy you select in Ottawa will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
