  • Car hires in Sault Ste Marie offer convenience in exploring the city's natural beauty, including parks, lakes, and forests and taking scenic drives, which might not be possible by public transport.

You can visit attractions more accessible by car, including Agawa Canyon Tour Train, Lake Superior Provincial Park, Batchawana Bay, and Canadian Bushplane Heritage Center.
  • When flying into this city, you can hire a vehicle at Sault Ste Marie Airport (YAM), about 19 km (12 miles) west of the city centre.

You must have valid documents, including a driving licence, identification card or passport, and credit or debit card for different car hire companies to hire a vehicle at the airport.
  • Sault Ste Marie has various bridges and canal locks, which may occasionally cause traffic and delays during boat crossings.

The on site agent should be more friendly and not just factual. There was no one at the window when we returned the car to discuss costs. We were billed more than we were told we would be billed. The car was fine.
