Car Rental in Toronto

The name Toronto comes from the Huron word for "meeting place" and rarely has a name fit a city so well. From the people of the First Nations to the fur traders, and finally to the modern population that includes over 80 ethnic groups, Toronto has always taken advantage of its excellent location on the Great Lakes.

Peter Ustinov described Toronto as "New York run by the Swiss" which is a pretty accurate description. Toronto is a large, culturally diverse center of commerce that seems to run like clockwork. The city is fairly easy to get around on foot, but a Toronto rental car will help you explore off the beaten path, and see more of Ontario. Auto Europe car rentals in Toronto are available at pick up depots in the airport and in downtown locations.

Travelling in Toronto with a Rental Car

Located just north of the United States, nestled among the great lakes, Toronto is the ideal city in Canada to base your holiday. With loads of attractions and activities to choose from, the possibilities are endless with your hire car. During summer, drive through the forests and mountains in the area, perhaps stopping for a swim or spot of fishing at one of the many lakes and streams. For a unique experience not normally found in this part of the world, jump in your rental car and take a short drive south west from Toronto to the African Lion Safari. Home to thousands of animals, you can self drive your way through the park, and see the inhabitants roaming freely in their large enclosures.

Toronto boasts a theatre scene on par with New York and London, world-class art and history museums, festivals of film and music and myriad other cultural activities. This isn't surprising, seeing that the city produced celebrities including Mary Pickford, Morley Safer, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Robbie Robertson and Neil Young. While there is no lack of metropolitan activities to partake in, if you'd like to get out of the city for a while you can rent a car and go skiing at one of the two areas just outside the city. You could also choose to take a scenic drive around Lake Ontario to see Niagara Falls.
