KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Ottawa

  • Canada’s capital is an evergreen city that is overflowing with spectacular parks and gardens. Ottawa is located along the Ottawa River and is connected to the Rideau Canal, providing extensive opportunities to get outside and enjoy the wonders of nature. Renting a car will give you unrivaled access to the glorious hiking trails of Gatineau Park while also allowing the time to take in the significant cultural arts attractions, such as the National Gallery and Canadian Museum of History. If you are planning to attend an Ottawa Senators ice hockey match, renting a car is the best option since Canadian Tire Center is more than 25 km (15 miles) from the downtown district.
  • Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW) is located approximately 11 km (7 miles) from downtown and you will be able to arrive in just over 20 minutes of driving. Rental companies Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise have their counters located on Level 1 of the parking facility, directly across from the baggage claim area.
  • Since the expanse of parklands and outdoor activities lends Ottawa to be an optimal location for bike riding, so be vigilant while driving and remember to check blind spots regularly. Turning right at a red light is legal in Ottawa unless otherwise indicated by signage; however, always remember to stop at the intersection and ensure the road is clear.
  • Ottawa and the surrounding areas of Ontario are well known for the heavy amounts of snowfall they often get during the winter. If you are planning to travel during this time of the year you will witness some beautiful frozen lakes and scenery; however, be extra cautious while driving. It is important to regularly check weather reports which will provide information on road conditions and safety. When driving on icy roads, remember to reduce speeds and allow more braking time and space than you would in normal conditions.
  • Luxury rental cars in Ottawa are around 67% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Ottawa

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Ottawa?

    If you are planning on traveling during the warmer months, a standard sedan such as a Toyota Corolla or Hyundai Elantra will adequately provide you with the capacity to explore any of Ottawa’s attractions. A Toyota RAV4 or similar four-wheel drive will better suit driving demands during the snowy season, offering more traction with the icy roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Ottawa?

    Throughout the state of Ontario, the speed limit in urban areas such as residential or commercial roads is 50 km/h (31 mph). Be wary of school zones as the speed limit decreases to 40 km/h (24 mph). Freeways can range from 80 km/h (49 mph) to 100 km/h (62 mph), depending on the location and lanes available, so it is best to always check the indicated signage.

  • Where are the best places to park in Ottawa?

    In the heart of downtown, the City of Ottawa has a public underground parking lot situated at City Hall which costs only $2 CAD ($1.50 USD) per day on the weekends. It is recommended that you park here and explore the downtown area by foot if you happen to be visiting on the weekend. If you plan on visiting the National Arts Center, enter after 4 pm for unlimited parking for only $11 CAD ($8 USD).

It's a big ask, but Budget might want to consider putting snow tires on their vehicles during the winter months. I absolutely loved the Mini Countryman I got for my rental, but had more than a few white-knuckle moments during a pretty moderate snowfall because the sporty tires were absolutely useless off of dry asphalt. I think the cost of winter tires would be hugely offset by the avoidance of some winter-related accidents.

Horrible. I reserved a car on-line, provided my credit card number and discovered when I arrived to pick it up that they had no cars, nor could they get me a car from anywhere in the city. The guys working the desk had no ability to remedy the situation, and told me that there is no connection between their actual inventory and on-line bookings. They said that Enterprise was regularly maximizing bookings even though they knew they couldn't fulfill the orders.

Worst experience of my life for several reasons: I saw the prices in Canadian dollars on the website and chose accordingly, but on the delivery day, He told I had to pay in US dollars. On the delivery day, there was no explanation given about the extra charge for not refueling, and we returned the car with a half tank of gas. You charged us two and a half times the amount. The service quality is very poor. As a result, I am currently pursuing this issue with the management and will see it through to the end if my money damages are not reimbursed.

Cons:

Despite booking an intermediate on Kayak, the Avis received my booking as a compact. Thankfully, Avis found an intermediate car for me at a nearby location for no extra charge, which I appreciated. Seems like a miscommunication between the Kayak and Avis systems.

Was given a vehicle far larger than what I requested (asked for Corolla sedan, got a Terrain SUV). Car was clean and staff helpful, but it doesn't even look like they have sedans in their fleet. I don't like that I could reserve a "Corolla or similar" when nothing like that is available.

It was hard to get a hold of them in the morning. I was on hold for 30+ minutes. I gave up as I was first in line according to the recording. I called back and no one called me back. At noon I left a message and none called me back. At 2 I called and finally spoke to someone. Once I spoke to someone it was excellent from there all the way through.

Pros:

Noone was there when I dropped the car off. I found papertowel (used) in the car. Not acceptable at all given this is a Covid pandemic. I was told after I had booked the car that Costco members get a discount. The agents never really tell you about any features or benefits. When I showed up the woman was not there so I had to wait for her.

The car was too big. I asked for a smaller one but didn’t get it. The car stalled twice during my two day rental. On drop off, I asked for a courtesy ride home…literally a 9 min drive and they said they couldn’t. The Europcar operates out of Routes. I won’t use them again.

Kayak's description AND the confirmation both say that the Europcar location is in the Ottawa airport, but this is a total lie. It is FAR away and requires travelers to call for a shuttle, which takes 15 minutes to get there. I waited outside in freezing Ottawa for a van to take me another 15 minutes away to a ROUTES(!!!) rental location. I SPECIFICALLY didn't want a Routes car because they suck as a rental agency. I then had to sign a million pieces of paper like it was 1985 and waited an obscene amount of time in an ugly rental agency. I consider this entire experience to be a scam due to the false advertising. To add insult to injury, there was a no refund/no cancelation policy. I feel duped by Kayak and this rental agency. I will literally never rent a car from Europcar or Routes in my life again. I would rather Uber everywhere even if it cost 50 times more than the price of a rental.
