KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Oshawa
- Opting for an Oshawa car hire would be the most practical choice for those who enjoy travelling. The ability to explore even the most isolated locations without established public transportation networks is made possible by a hire car in Oshawa. Furthermore, flexibility is essential. In contrast to other forms of public transportation, which follow a set schedule, car hire in Oshawa enables you to choose your schedule and travel without interruptions. Among the locations you can visit in your hire car in Oshawa includes Lakeview Park, located 5 km (3 miles) from the city centre, and it will take you approximately 7 minutes to complete the journey.
- Oshawa is a town served by a couple of airports for those who wish to fly into the town. Among the airports serving it include the Pearson Airport (YYZ), the Island Airport (YTZ), the Hamilton Toronto Airport (YHM), and the Kitchener-Waterloo Toronto Airport (YKF). All these airports have hire car companies in their arrival terminals. You can choose your car hire in Oshawa, complete the necessary paperwork, and drive away from the airport in your vehicle in under 10 minutes.
- Always drive on the right side of the road, heed traffic signals, and adhere to posted speed limits when driving your car hire in Oshawa. Becoming familiar with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act is crucial if you want comprehensive details on the local laws and regulations. Oshawa provides crossings, bike lanes, and sidewalks for pedestrians and bicyclists. Give space to cyclists when sharing the road, and be careful to yield to pedestrians at crossings. Watch out for cyclists and pedestrians, especially in downtown areas and nearby schools and residential areas, to prevent accidents.
- Driving your car hire in Oshawa can present some difficulties. Like many other cities, Oshawa constantly deals with construction and road work projects. It may lead to temporary lane reductions, road closures, and detours, which would consequently cause delays. Watch for construction-related signs and be ready to modify your driving as necessary. In the winter, Ontario is subjected to severe weather, which includes snowfall and icy roads. Oshawa is no exception, and you might run into slick roads and poor visibility during the winter. Driving carefully, keeping a safe distance from other cars, and fitting your car with the right winter tyres are all necessary. In Oshawa, there is a thriving community of cyclists and pedestrians. Protect vulnerable road users by paying attention to crossings, bike lanes, and shared pathways.

Pros:
Quick on drop off.Cons:
Waited 45 minutes for the car. Car was dirty. Second time I rent from there in last couple months (only option since I am taking car Oshawa to North Bay and North Bay has limited rental places).... and both times, I book pick up from one location, and no one informs me that pick up location has changed. This time at least I called ahead to check. They have said each time, it's cause my number is wrong and they can't call me to inform me of different pick up location. Well I know my number and almost certain I don't even put one in at time of booking with you guys... If I do input a number then obviously it's not getting to Enterprise correctly. Also, couldn't they just email me??? Pain in the butt. Why is that pick up location an option if it isn't even open??? Update your website.10.0 Wonderful
