Car Rental in Canada

Learn about parking rules and fees in Canada to avoid fines or towing during your rental period.

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car rental companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car rental provider to let them know.

Before renting, verify what your travel insurance or credit card covers for rental vehicles in Canada.

Make sure you know which type of fuel your rental car uses to avoid costly mistakes at the pump.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
