KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kitchener

  • Using car rentals in Kitchener offers numerous advantages over relying on public transportation. With Kitchener car rentals, you can explore several scenic places at your pace and on your schedule without the limitations of public transportation. It also allows you to adapt accordingly depending on the weather conditions, which may be unpredictable. The car rentals in Kitchener allow you to minimize the time you will use between getting to different attractions and also allow you to optimize your routes.

Some scenic places you can visit thanks to your car rental in Kitchener include the Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum, Adventure Rooms Canada, and Victoria Park.
  • Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) is Kitchener's main airport. At YKF, several car rental agencies with counters are located in the arrivals hall near the baggage claim inside the terminal. The rental car pick-up and drop-off location is adjacent to the airport. To be a renter at YKF, you must be at least 21 years old. You must also present several documents, including a credit or debit card and a valid driver’s license.
  • Using car rentals in Kitchener requires you to be as courteous as other road users in the city, which can be achieved by typically allowing others to change lanes or merge, following traffic rules, and yielding to pedestrians.

You will likely experience this congestion on several major roads in Kitchener, including Highway 7, Highway 401, and Street King.
