What types of cars can I rent in Ottawa?

Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is perfect for city escapes or short road trips.

  • Minneapolis - St. Paul is approximately 88 kilometres from Ottawa. Notable attractions like Mall of America should be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Approximately 129 kilometres away, Rochester is also a hit with travellers. Allow time to experience Mayo Civic Centre while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this buzzing city.

Where can I find an Ottawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Ottawa often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not have any extra fees for this age range. Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your selected rental dealer to escape excessive charges when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Ottawa with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
