St. Catharines car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

English people need to be aware that pedestrians can cross pedestrian crossings even when the light is green for cars. Also, turning right on a red light is an alien concept for English drivers, though less dangerous to ignore than the advice above about pedestrians.

If you cancel the trip, note that you may need to make a separate call to the insurance provider to cancel the insurance coverage.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in St. Catharines

  • St. Catharines is well worth visiting because you'll explore the city's vibrant streets and stunning, culturally rich neighbourhoods. But you need a convenient means of transport to help you adventure the bustling old town and the natural features defining its culture and traditions. The public transport system is pretty developed and can help you get to several places, but it involves rushing to catch your commuter bus at the terminus. To this end, St Catharines car hire offers a convenient way to explore the city and other destinations. With our car hire in St. Catharines, you can travel to several places, including Hamilton Harbour, 52 km (32 miles), and Centreville Amusement Park, 53 km (32.3 miles) from the city centre.

There are multiple car hire companies at the airport, including Avis, National, Budget, Hertz, Europcar, Keddy, and Enterprise. The car hire companies have desks on-site at all terminals, accessible via shuttle. Booking your St. Catharines car hire online saves you the hassle of long queues at the airport desk.
  • Generally, driving your car hire in St. Catharines is safe and enjoyable due to well-established roads. Drivers and other road users are generally less impatient and typically abide by all the traffic regulations. To this end, be sure to abide by all the city's traffic regulations.

However, if you plan to visit upcountry destinations, an SUV is a good option with a well-raised body to manoeuvre the uphill roads.

When driving your St. Catharines car hire around built-up areas like residential and business districts is 50 km/h (30 mph). The city has posted speed limits. Be sure to abide by them.

  • Where are the best places to park in St. Catharines?

    You'll ultimately need car parks when driving your car hire in St. Catharines. While finding car parks shouldn't be challenging, it comes with stress worth avoiding. In that case, consider booking a hotel with car parks. Multiple hotels offer car parks if you reside on their property. Canada Best Value Inn St. Catharine, Best Western St. Catharines Hotel & Conference Centre, Hampton Inn St Catharines Niagara, and Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites St Catharines Hotel are worth considering. But if you opt for metered or garage parking options, downtown offers both convenience and affordability. Generally, parking your car hire in St. Catharines costs around $2 (about £1.17) per hour.
