Requirements for Car Rental

To rent a vehicle in Ontario, drivers must present and comply with the following standards:

  • Driver's license: A valid physical driving license. If printed in a language other than English or French, an International Driving Permit is highly advisable.
  • Minimum age: Typically 21 years old. Drivers aged under 25 are subject to a young driver surcharge and certain vehicle categories may be restricted.
  • Credit card: A major credit card in the primary renter's name is required for the security deposit hold. Debit cards and cash deposits are not accepted for pre-authorization.
  • Identification: International travelers must present a valid passport and return travel documentation.

Tip: Because available fleet capacity on the waterfront is limited, booking well in advance online is strongly recommended.

Companies, opening hours and desk locations can change. Check with the rental company before booking.

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.
