    Driving in Canada

    Car Hire CanadaHire a car in Canada and visit one of the best tourist destinations in the world. Canada offers a wide range of attractions, from large cosmopolitan cities such as Montreal and Toronto, to isolated Inuit settlements found near Hudson Bay.

    The contrasting Pacific and Atlantic seaboards and the thousands of lakes and rivers of the Canadian interior provide great opportunities for water sports and fishing. Car hire in Canada is very popular as it is an easy and convenient way to access any place or activity in such a large and wonderful country. Whether you choose to travel to Vancouver Island, or the Halifax Harbour on the Atlantic coast, your car hire will allow you to visit the entire region at your own pace.

    Experience some spectacular self-drive tours in the Great Canadian West and the Rocky Mountains, around Banff and Jasper National Parks. Along the way, look for elk, bears, and other wild creatures. The Old Quebec is also one the famous site that must be visited for its history, museums, European and charming ambience with lively cobblestone streets full of excellent restaurants.

    If you're a film buff, summer is the best season to experience bustling film events in Vancouver and Toronto. Don't forget to check out the highly acclaimed Toronto International Film Festival in September where bumping into famous faces is as commonplace as maple syrup in a store!

    Country Essentials

    Traffic travels on the right-hand side of the road and the steering wheel is located on the left side of the vehicle. Seat belts are mandatory in Canada. Parking metres can be found in major cities across Canada. Parking lots are generally available in most urban locations. For additional information, we encourage our clients to refer to our specialised Canada Driving Information page.

    Standard Inclusions

    Auto Europe includes the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and theft protection in the Canadian car hire prices. The CDW and theft protection reduce the liability and excess of the driver to a capped amount. Fire insurance is also included in the price of your car hire.

    Licence Requirements

    You must be at least 20 years old to hire a car in Canada, although the age may vary by car category. You must have held your licence for a minimum of 1 year. Drivers under the age of 25 may incur a young driver surcharge.

    Tolls and Freeways

    There are not many toll roads in Canada. The main toll road is the highway 407 in Ontario. There are two ways to pay for the use of this road, the first being through a transponder that is mounted on the windshield of the vehicle. The other billing method is through overhead cameras that photograph the licence plates, send a bill to the supplier and the bill is then forwarded to the driver. The supplier may charge an administration fee to process this information. This fee will be stated in the car hire agreement at the time of collection so be sure to read it carefully. The fee varies depending on supplier.

    Border Crossings

    Most suppliers will allow cars to be driven through any state in the United States. Cars are not permitted in to Mexico. Some restrictions may apply to Alaska. Please take a minute to ensure that your intended itinerary will be possible with the car you plan to hire. Domestic one-way car hires are available between select locations and additional fees and minimum car hire duration may apply. Not all vehicles are permitted on one-way car hires. Only certain suppliers allow international one-ways between Canada and the United States and fees will apply.
