These give you more room for luggage while offering extra legroom for passengers at the same time. Search rental cars on KAYAK

Waterloo is a picturesque city in Ontario, situated around 113 km east of Toronto. There are many smaller cities spanning out from Toronto, occupying the space between Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and Lake St Clair. Whether you wish to explore these cities, visit the great lakes, hike through the forests or enjoy the majesty of Niagara Falls, Waterloo car hire is an ideal way to discover this lush region of Canada.
Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) has one small terminal building that handles all international and domestic departures and arrivals. You’ll find the Waterloo car hire kiosks in the main lobby of the terminal building, and you’ll be able to pick your car up from the car park just outside. If you know what type of hire car you want in Waterloo, it’s best to book ahead, as this will give the hire company time to ensure they have the vehicle you want ready for you at the airport.
If you venture outside of the Waterloo city limits, you’ll encounter many different types of roads, from major motorways like Macdonald Cartier Freeway to tiny country roads like those leading into Algonquin Provincial Park or La Verendrye Wildlife Reserve. It’s important to be aware of your surroundings and the unique hazards they may present. Deer and moose generally won’t be a problem on the highways, but once you’re out on rural roads, you must adjust your expectations and your driving to match.
If you’ll be in Waterloo during late autumn, winter or early spring, it’s important to be prepared for colder conditions. If it’s snowing or the road is icy, you need to slow down. Fog lights can be used to improve visibility; however, they must not be switched on unless needed. If you’ll be heading out of the city limits during the colder months, be sure to bring a cell phone, charger, water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, blankets, warm clothes, a shovel, traction mats, a windscreen scraper for ice removal and jumper cables.
