  • Los Angeles is roughly 56 kilometres from Ontario. Renowned sights like Universal Studios Hollywood should be at the top of your list here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ontario?
Rental car rules in Ontario require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many rental suppliers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Ontario?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What is the cheapest car rental in Ontario?
The two lowest daily prices on offer in Ontario within the past seven days were AU$79 and AU$105. How's that for an awesome deal? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ontario?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and book a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find an Ontario car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Ontario companies will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Ontario with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
