Question 1

What are the age requirements for renting a car in Ottawa?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to rent a car in Ottawa is typically 21, but this can vary by region and rental company. In some countries, like the United States and Canada, drivers under 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, the minimum age is often 18, though surcharges may still apply for drivers under 25. Conversely, in countries like Australia, the minimum age is usually 21, and additional fees may apply for younger drivers. Always check the specific rental company's policy for detailed information, as requirements and surcharges can differ significantly between providers and locations.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

The Budget 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.
