We know that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why many prepaid homes give a total refund if you cancel at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. It’s a good idea to go through your home agreement though because there are some exemptions. If you can’t see any details there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.

Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the top pick for many home customers in Ottawa. Featuring exceptional gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they’re ideal for navigating the city. A compact offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little more comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

Drivers aged 21 and over can hit the road in Ottawa in a home vehicle. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.

Any home company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.

Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.

If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a car in Ottawa, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.

If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
