Requirements for Renting a Vehicle

To pick up a rental vehicle at Québec City Jean Lesage Airport, drivers must fulfill the following general rental policies:

  • Credit card: A major physical credit card issued in the primary driver's name is required to cover the security deposit hold.

Tips for renting a car in Canada

  1. Check that your driver's license is valid in Canada. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
  2. Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
  3. Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
  5. At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
  6. Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
