You will find a wide assortment of car hire companies in Canada, including many of the most well known such as Hertz, Avis, and Budget. From these and other car hire providers you can choose the type of car, size of car, and length of rental contract that best suits your needs. Regardless of which company or type of car you choose be sure to have your driver's license and proof of insurance in hand.
It's also a good idea to learn about the general "rules of the road" before hiring a car in Canada. The most important rules and regulations to know include:
Driver and all passengers must wear seat belts or face a stiff fine
Vehicle traffic drives on the right side of the road
Always secure young children in an approved car seat
It is strongly recommended that children under 12 years of age sit in the back seat of the car
Pay attention to posted speed limits, keeping in mind that they can vary across towns, cities, and provinces
Most car hire companies offer a printed guidebook of Canada's driving regulations to take along on your trip, so be sure to ask about it when you pick up your car.
