How to Decide Which Type of Car to Rent

If you’re in the GTA for business, we recommend a crossover—small enough that you’ll be able to find parking, big enough that you won’t feel dwarfed when driving on the 410.

If you’re here on vacation, we recommend spending a bit more on something upscale. In particular, think about getting a comfy SUV with cooled seat. Start relaxing while you’re still on the road!

If you want to try something new, try an electric. The GTA has many charging stations, making it the perfect region for you to check out the advantages of an electric vehicle.

Precautions to Take When Driving a Rental Car

If you’re treating yourself to an SUV or a luxury car, your rental will be much more powerful than you’re used to. This is especially true if it’s your first time driving AWD or 4WD. The first time you drive it, be very light on the accelerator, and consider taking a practice turn around a residential area before taking it out on the highway.
