Important information about Toronto car hire

Can I drive into the U.S. with a rental car from Toronto?

Car hire in Toronto does allow you to take your hire car into the USA. To do this, you need to notify your car hire company before you travel, this is because you may have to pay an extra fee. It is possible to take a one-way trip in your hire car if your hire car company has another branch in the other location to which you are travelling. To cross into another country, there is normally a border crossing fee, so don’t forget to factor that into your budget. There may be a limit on the type of cars that they allow you to take into another country, too. Electric car hire or luxury car hire in Toronto might not allow these vehicles to be taken across the border; however, it is always best to check with your car hire company. If this is the case, there are a variety of economy car hires for you to choose from instead.

Can you hire a car in Toronto without a credit card?

Car hire in Toronto allows you to pay with a debit card, as well as the usual credit card. It is required if you are paying with a debit card that it has either the Visa, MasterCard or Discovery logo on it. If you are paying with your debit card, you will have to make a deposit; the amount of deposit you will have to pay will depend on the type of car you are hiring. The money will then be refunded when you bring the car back. Check with each company about their policy on debit card payments, as they are only accepted at some car hire locations in Toronto. It is much easier to find this perk if you have a return ticket. If you do not have a return ticket, you may have to pay an additional fee. It is also good to note that some vehicles may not be available to hire if you are not paying with a credit card.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Toronto?

In Toronto, the driving laws that are followed are the same as the rest of Canada. In Toronto, they drive on the right-hand side of the road. When you are driving in the car, all passengers must always wear their seat belt, and you cannot use your mobile phone while driving in Toronto. If you need to answer your phone in the car, it is best to get a hire car with hands-free Bluetooth installed, and any child must be in a child safety seat if they are under 145 cm tall. The limit of alcohol that you are allowed to have in your body while driving in Toronto is 80 mg per 100 ml of blood. The rules are very strict around this, so it is best to not have a drink before you drive your hire car. You should know that there are many tolls throughout Canada, so don’t forget to factor this into your budget.

What documents does an international traveller need to hire a car in Toronto?

To access a car hire in Toronto, you must have your passport, driver’s licence and credit or debit card. If you are travelling with a United States driver’s licence, you will not require an international driver’s permit or licence. If you are travelling with a driver’s licence from any other country, you may need an international driver’s permit or licence. If you are travelling from the EU or UK, you will more than likely need this licence. The minimum age to hire a car is 21 at most car hire companies. Toronto car hire also requires that this person has held their licence for over a year. If you are between the ages of 21 and 25, you will generally have to pay a fee for being a young driver. Cheap car rentals in Toronto often allows for young drivers to use their economy hire cars only.
