Good to know

  • Rental age requirements generally aren't a one-size-fits-all. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you could pay extra and face some limits. Check what applies with each supplier before booking your car hire in Canada.

  • If you're bringing the kids along, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Oakville car hire reservation. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • Make sure you have the necessary documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • Driving in Canada can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph through urban areas and around 95kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • In Canada, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If you're planning to drink, hand the keys to someone else or arrange a taxi or ride-share instead.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • The Canadian dollar (CAD) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and excursions. Use cards when you can, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't accepted.

  • The language most often spoken in this country is English.
