Cheap Economy Car Hire in Montreal

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Montreal, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When hiring a car in Montreal, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Economy. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Montreal by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Economy typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Economy in Montreal. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.
