Top tips for renting a car in Ontario

  • If you’d like to rent a car while in Ontario, certain factors should influence the car you choose. One of these factors is the number of people you’ll be traveling with. If you plan on renting a car for only you and your partner, you should consider a small, comfortable economy car. If, however, you’ll be traveling with seven family members or friends, you’ll need a larger vehicle, such as a spacious passenger van. Another factor that should influence your car rental of choice is the number of bags you’ll be transporting. The more luggage you’ll be carrying, the larger your rental car will need to be.
  • Your car of choice should be one that you’ll find easy to control wherever you go. With this in mind, before settling on a given rental car, you should consider whether it can manage to cruise smoothly in the destinations you intend to visit. Ontario is home to several destinations. Although some of these destinations have well-paved roads, some others only have rough roads. If you plan to stick to the areas with well-paved roads, you should look into hiring a compact rental car. On the other hand, if you plan to visit some of the destinations that boast rough roads, an all-terrain SUV is the right rental car for you.
  • The weather in Ontario is usually rather mild. However, in the summer months, the weather can get quite hot. Hence, prior to selecting a given car rental, you must ensure its air conditioner is in perfect condition. Apart from ensuring your car of choice has a working air conditioner, you should also ensure that it has a good audio system, a well-serviced engine, and tires in good shape. If you select a car with all these attributes, you can rest assured that it will serve you extremely well during your time in Ontario.
  • Finding the right rental car can be a bit challenging. However, if you follow the above-stated tips, you can find a suitable rental car relatively easily. Once you’ve picked a car, it’s in your best interest to purchase short-term insurance coverage for the vehicle because you’ll be able to avoid incurring repair costs in the unfortunate event that you get involved in a minor accident. Time and time again, short-term insurance coverage has proven valuable for many rental car drivers. Given that this coverage is usually fairly inexpensive, purchasing it would be a sound financial decision to ensure peace of mind on your trip.
