Top tips for hiring a car in Toronto
- Looking to rent a car during your time in Toronto? If you are landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, you will find the rental car desks on Level 1 of both the Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 parking garages. For travelers flying into Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, the Avis rental car desk is adjacent to the baggage claim area and the Enterprise counter is by the Eireann Quay parking lot.
- Drivers should keep their eyes open for both streetcars and buses in the downtown area, as both are commonplace. For buses, drivers must be aware that legally you have to yield to buses merging into traffic. As for streetcars, it is illegal to pass a stopped streetcar because you must yield to the passengers disembarking.
- Toronto, like many other large cities, suffers from daily bouts of rush hour. Typically, drivers can expect rush hour to last from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. The evening rush hour can be particularly congested for drivers leaving the downtown area, so it is highly advised to time your trip accordingly. Some of the main areas to avoid during rush hour include Highway 401 and Don Valley Parkway.
- Drivers new to Toronto should be aware that left turns are not allowed at many of the intersections in the downtown area during rush hour. To avoid any complications due to this, even confident drivers should make certain to use a GPS to help them navigate rush hour traffic.

FAQs about renting a car in Toronto
What type of car is recommended for driving in Toronto?
Toronto, like many large cities, has many one-way roads and smaller streets that can be difficult for larger vehicles to navigate. So it is recommended that would-be car renters select a midsize or compact car rather than an SUV. As well, larger vehicles will particularly struggle to find space to park downtown.
What’s the speed limit in Toronto?
The speed limits in Toronto, and Ontario as a whole, range from 40 km/h (25 mph) in school zones and residential areas to 50 km/h (31 mph) on urban roads, to 80 km/h (50 mph) on rural highways, and up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on expressways and highways.
Where are the best places to park in Toronto?
Streetside parking can be very difficult to find in the central downtown areas of Toronto, especially when an event, such as a Toronto Raptors game, is going on.

After I picked up the vehicle, I had to change my plans. I returned to the rental location an hour / 8kms later and explained why.

Cons:
My only complaint, which appears to be a problem with the landlord vs with Hertz, is a complete lack of signage in the underground mall where they are located. The Hertz rental counter is very near the stairs down to the subway-level mall, off Park Rd (at the southeast corner of the building).10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Staff friendly. Drop off easy.Cons:
The office is not next to the cars, is very poorly signed and none of the building staff seem to know where it is. It's mostly the landlord's fault, but the rental companies need to find a way to deal with it.Budget
