Electric car rental in Canada
We deliver the car to any address in Toronto and to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM). The line-up runs from the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Polestar 2 through the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y to the Porsche Taycan, all automatic, all fully electric, with four or five seats depending on the model.
Electric Car Rental in Canada and the Five Models You Can Book
Our electric fleet runs on five fully electric cars, all automatic, priced from C$ 74 to C$ 600 a day. The line-up covers two Crossovers, two Sedans and one Liftback, with rear-wheel drive on three cars and all-wheel drive on two. Below is what each car gives you before you choose.
Which electric models make up the fleet
| Model | Body | Seats | Drive | Power | From per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Mach-E | Crossover | 5 | Rear-wheel | 266 hp | C$ 74 |
| Polestar 2 | Liftback | 5 | Rear-wheel | 299 hp | C$ 77 |
| Tesla Model Y | Crossover | 5 | All-wheel | 384 hp | C$ 91 |
| Tesla Model 3 | Sedan | 5 | Rear-wheel | 283 hp | C$ 98 |
| Porsche Taycan | Sedan | 4 | All-wheel | 670 hp | C$ 600 |
All-wheel drive appears on the Tesla Model Y and the Porsche Taycan; rear-wheel on the other three — pick by winter grip, not by badge.
Who each model suits
- Polestar 2 — C$ 77 a day: a liftback for two travellers with camera bags, ski bags or flat-pack furniture.
- Tesla Model Y — C$ 91 a day: all-wheel drive and 384 hp for a winter week or a Muskoka run with a full boot.
- Porsche Taycan — C$ 600 a day: 670 hp and four seats for a Niagara-on-the-Lake weekend where the drive is the point.
Why Electric Car Rental in Canada Suits City and Highway Driving
On this page that applies to all five models, and every one of them is automatic.
What an electric drivetrain changes on the road
Every car in our electric car rental in Canada is automatic and electric, so there is no gearshift and no engine noise at low speed. On the highway that reserve matters for merging and overtaking; in the city the silence matters more, because a pedestrian stepping off a curb hears nothing until the tyres are close.
Charging the car during your rental
Plan around stops, not range: charge while you eat or sleep rather than waiting at a charger mid-afternoon.
Matching the model to the trip
| Trip | Model | Body | Seats | Drive | Power | From per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Long highway runs, luggage | Polestar 2 | Liftback | 5 | Rear-wheel | 299 hp | C$ 77 |
| Family trip, winter grip | Tesla Model Y | Crossover | 5 | All-wheel | 384 hp | C$ 91 |
| Business travel, sedan comfort | Tesla Model 3 | Sedan | 5 | Rear-wheel | 283 hp | C$ 98 |
| Special occasion, four seats | Porsche Taycan | Sedan | 4 | All-wheel | 670 hp | C$ 600 |
Booking Electric Car Rental in Canada with a Manager
How the reservation is fixed
With us the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. That order matters more than it looks.
Where we deliver the car
- Toronto addresses: Rent-Trip delivers to any address in the city, including Union Station, Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough and Vaughan.
- Outside these places: delivery is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask the manager before you count on it.
What to have ready for the manager
- Licence: a valid licence from your own province, state or country covers a stay in Ontario of less than 3 months; longer visits from another country need an International Driver's Permit issued at home.
- Deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and discounts: all four are set out in the rental agreement, so read them before you confirm dates.
Fix the time, then let the manager find the car that fits it.
Weekly and Monthly Electric Car Rental in Canada Terms
Weekly and monthly rates for electric car rental in Canada are built straight from the daily figure, so the arithmetic is the same for every model in the fleet.
How weekly and monthly rates work
A week of electric car hire starts from C$ 444, which is the daily rate multiplied by six, and a month starts from C$ 1,554, the daily rate multiplied by 21. The same multipliers apply across all five cars, so a Porsche Taycan at the top of the range and a Ford Mustang Mach-E at the bottom scale by the identical rule — no separate long-term tariff hides behind the headline. The longer the booking, the more the fixed daily figure matters: compare models at the weekly line, not the daily one, since a small gap in the day rate widens over a month of driving.
What the rental agreement sets out
- Delivery fees: set out in the rental agreement; the delivery address is agreed with a manager when booking.
- Discounts: any reduction on a longer term is set out in the rental agreement rather than published here.
Documents and Rules for Electric Car Rental in Canada
Which licence you need
A guest in Ontario for less than 3 months may drive on a valid licence from their own province, state or country. Past that mark, a visitor from another country needs an International Driver's Permit (IDP) issued in their home country — it cannot be obtained here, so arrange it before you fly.
Insurance, ownership permit and cross-border trips
- Ownership permit: keep the original or an exact copy of the registration document in the car at all times.
- Minimum age: the law sets 16 as the minimum age to drive; the rental age itself is agreed when booking.
- United States: most cars rented here may cross into the United States, but only with written permission from the rental point — exotic classes and large vans are usually excluded.
- Border documents: carry your passport; without written permission the trip breaches the contract and the insurance.
First, ask for the cross-border permission in writing before you leave the city — a verbal yes is worth nothing at the border.

Choosing the Right Electric Car Rental in Canada for Your Trip
Match the model to the trip before you look at anything else — that is the whole decision. The Rent-Trip electric line-up covers five cars, and the spread between them is wide: the Ford Mustang Mach-E at C$ 74 a day, the Polestar 2 at C$ 77, the Tesla Model Y at C$ 91, the Tesla Model 3 at C$ 98 and the Porsche Taycan at C$ 600. Two Crossovers, two Sedans and one Liftback sit inside that line-up, with 4 seats in the Taycan and 5 in the other four.
What each model is built for
- Ford Mustang Mach-E: the cheapest way into the electric line-up, 266 hp, rear-wheel drive, a Crossover body with 5 seats for family luggage and a relaxed highway cruise.
- Tesla Model Y: all-wheel drive and 384 hp in a 5-seat Crossover, the pick when winter grip and cargo space matter in the same car.
- Porsche Taycan: all-wheel drive, 670 hp, 4 seats — the most expensive on this page at C$ 600 a day and the one to book when the drive itself is the point.
All five are automatic and electric, so the choice comes down to body, drive and power rather than gearbox.
How to decide between them
Start with the seats and the bags.
Booking the car you actually want
The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and that conversation decides more than the car list does. Deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and discounts are set out in the rental agreement, so read those four lines before you commit.
