Top tips for renting a car in Mississauga
- Explore everything in and around Mississauga conveniently on your own four wheels and get a rental car for your trip to the Canadian city of Mississauga. From the city center, it is only half an hour to Hamilton and the center of Toronto where you have shops, all kinds of restaurants, and plenty of entertainment at your disposal. Travelers who want to see Niagara Falls are only an hour’s drive away.
- The closest airport to Mississauga is Toronto Pearson International Airport, and renting a car directly from there will put travelers within less than 15 minutes of driving to Mississauga center. The car rental service desks can be found in the parking garages of Terminal 1 and 3 and include companies like Avis, Enterprise, or Hertz. The quickest way to Mississauga is via the ON-403 E.
- Mississauga has quite a high collision rate and therefore texting and driving is severely fined. If you need a satnav, rent it with the car -- just make sure to get one that is attached with a holder. Generally speaking, the driving behavior in Mississauga is rather on the aggressive side and can include running a red light or speeding. Defensive driving is the best response and always double-check before venturing into an intersection or roundabout.
- Try to avoid driving during Mississauga’s rush hour, which is usually between 8:00 and 9:00 am. The traffic increases considerably and will cost up to an hour’s delay. Driving between 3:30 and 4:30 pm is also not advised, as many people return from their jobs during this time, clogging up the streets. Winter driving conditions can also be challenging in Mississauga, so making sure the car is properly equipped and keep your speed adapted to the conditions.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Mississauga for C$ 42 or less
- Book your rental car in Mississauga at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Mississauga are around 18% cheaper than other car types, on average

Please contact me on a rule change! I have been added to you rentals in the past as a second driver or used a corporate card to rent cards. Alamo did not allow me to use a card with anothe name and my ID to rent the car. They said the card and the DL had to be the same. I was able to rent a car in this fashion at a competitor.8.8 Very good

Feb. 2020
Pros:
The cars are in great shape. I was given a pre-assessment of the condition of the vehicle and found some undocumented scratches. I returned to the desk to have the record updated and they were very courteous. Be vigilante when looking over your rental before driving away. Shuttle service is prompt and the company staff is very good.Cons:
The vehicles are not always as clean as the larger rental companies. I like driving away with a full tank of gas but I generally receive a car with less gas in the tank. Routes Car Rental could improve here.8.4 Very good

Pros:

Mar. 2019
Pros:
Nothing. They stoped picking up their phones at 11pm. No shuttle every cane to pick up. Instead I had to get an Uber.Cons:
Everything could have been done better. If they can’t make it they could have at least notified instead of making people wait in the cold.2.0 Poor
Mar. 2019
Pros:
I liked walking out of there at midnight with no car and no ride to travel 2 hours north of the city.Cons:
Knowing that routes required a 1500.00 deposit. As I couldn’t put the deposit and upfront rental fee on the same card, they required I purchase their ins. For the two weeks. I wanted to change reservation to just 1 day, and they would not. Left me stranded. Terrible customer service10.0 Wonderful
Jan. 2019
Pros:
Price, cleanliness, service2.4 Poor
Jul. 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
First off the shuttle took forever. We get to the office and they said they did not have our standard car that we reserved because we were late, the website would not allow me to change the time of pickup, so I called and left a message that they apparently did not listen to letting them know what time we would be arriving. They ended up giving us a SUV that was a piece of junk, we could not even believe that they had such a car in their inventory. It had numerous huge paint chips all over the front of the car and there was masking tape residue all around the windshield, we were afraid to drive it, and the gas tank was empty. It was very late so we took the vehicle but not before inquiring about a replacement, call tomorrow and reserve a new one. I call first thing the next morning and a very rude clerk told me they had no cars and we could call back at 4pm and check if any were available, and NO we could not just reserve one. Didn't want to spend my vacation time trying to get a replacement so I just went on line and found a new car from a different agency, so happy. Do not rent from this company if you have other choices.Economy Rent a Car

Pros:
Horrible place to go. Off site. First travel By train out to a hotel. Wait outside for shuttle. Driver does not get out. Put you own luggage in the back. Went through 3 red lights. Texting while driving, all over the road. To goCons:
Man at the rental counter...well don’t know what to say. Wanted my insurance. Tells me it is no good. How does he know it covers me. After 10 min I left. Same shot back to terminal. Walked up to counter at airport from a reputable company and had a car in 5 min. What a waste of 1-1/2 hours of my time. Never again would I try to save a few dollars using a no name off site6.0 Okay

Apr. 2021
Pros:
NothingCons:
They need to be removed from priceline as an option. I picked them because I trusted priceline would vet their providers but clearly that did not happen. They charged a hidden 12/day admin fee for me to use my credit card insurance which increased my cost from 350 to 500 for the car. I also needed the car to travel long distance but when I get there the "unlimited milage" turned out to be just 200km a day. The car itself smelled terrible and was a mix of smoke and curry. I spent my two weeks in the car with the windows open as the smell never disapated. Extremely dissatisfied from every aspect of the experience.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Not at all. Was charged $110 just for the Kilometres.Cons:

Dec. 2020
Pros:
The drop off to the airport was good.Cons:
The car was filthy. I inspected multiple cars and all of them were really unclean. I had no choice to take the better of the ones available. They refused to give me an upgrade and told me about the car insurance transfer fee and limited mileage after I paid everything which was very unprofessional.3.2 Poor
Oct. 2020
Cons:
Dirty car, poor costumer service, long time for pickup and drop off... The car had expired insurance card They tried to charge their price even the car was booked and paid online few weeks in advanceAvis

It was a huge mistake to rent from this place. Stick to one of the more reputable companies at the airport. These people are not EZ they are a Canadian company renting on behalf of EZ and they are a RIP off.Cons:

Sep. 2019
Pros:
BEWARE about the scam! There is nothing to like about the rental experience. 1) The car rental place is a mile away. You need a train ride, 30 minutes wait for the rental company shuttle and multiple phone calls. 3) Bait and switch - you can reserve an SUV and offer you mid-size car for same priceCons:
Horrible customer service, bait, and switch,3.2 Poor

You'll be forced to buy their in-house insurance whether you're insured yourself or not, or they'll simply cancel your reservation on the spot. Staff is hurried and rude. Shuttle drivers VERY dangerous on the road. Surprise upcharges for mileage despite "unlimited" on reservation. Horrific!Driving Force

Pros:
We shortly after noon for our noon rental to find it closed.Cons:
Why would they accept a rental at their closing time. Why not call us to let us know when they noticed a customer was booked at closing time? We received a refund from Hertz, but not of the $50 taxi fare of getting to and from rental location. Plus the hassle of no car.One location in Mississauga
