Toronto Pearson is the perfect starting point for an iconic Canadian road trip. With a rental car, you can reach the majestic Niagara Falls in roughly 90 minutes. For a more relaxed pace, drive east to Prince Edward County to enjoy local vineyards and the spectacular dunes at Sandbanks Provincial Park. If you are heading north, Blue Mountain offers year-round adventure, from winter skiing to summer hiking, all accessible via Ontario’s primary highway networks.
At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Toronto Pearson to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for navigating the downtown core, a spacious SUV for a family trip to the lakes, or a premium vehicle for a business trip, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
Pick up your car at Toronto Pearson and drop it off in Ottawa, Montreal, or even Vancouver. One-way rentals are a popular way to experience the vastness of Canada without needing to double back.
Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.
Can I rent a car in Toronto if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically vary by provider.
Can I rent a car in Toronto if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Ontario. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain luxury models, most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.
The shoulder seasons of Autumn (September to October) and Spring (May to June) offer pleasant weather and are ideal for seeing the famous Ontario fall colours. Summer is peak season for visiting the Great Lakes, while winter offers a different magic—just ensure your vehicle is appropriately equipped if you plan to drive in snowy conditions.
The Greater Toronto Area features the 407 ETR, a privately operated, all-electronic toll highway. Because toll payment structures and administration fees vary significantly between car rental providers, it is essential to clarify the specific toll arrangement and any daily fees at the rental desk. While winter tyres are not legally mandatory in Ontario, they are highly recommended during the winter season for improved safety. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
