Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals vary by provider (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some providers in Canada may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
