Pickup trucks car rental in Canada
From C$ 116 per day, pickup trucks car rental in Canada gives you four models to choose from — the Hyundai Santa Cruz, Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Colorado, all five-seat petrol automatics with all-wheel drive. 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), with the delivery address, date and time agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Pickup Trucks Car Rental in Canada and the Four Models We Deliver
Pickup trucks car rental in Canada with Rent-Trip comes down to four trucks: Hyundai Santa Cruz, Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Colorado.
Which Pickup Trucks Are in the Fleet
| Model | Engine | Power | Drive | Seats | From per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyundai Santa Cruz | 2.5 L | 191 hp | All-wheel | 5 | C$ 116 |
| Ram 1500 | 3.6 L | 305 hp | All-wheel | 5 | C$ 136 |
| Ford F-150 | 3.5 L | 325 hp | All-wheel | 5 | C$ 162 |
| Chevrolet Colorado | 2.7 L | 237 hp | All-wheel | 5 | C$ 176 |
Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ram 1500 — The Two Cheapest
The Ram 1500 sits one step up at C$ 136 a day and brings a 3.6 L unit rated at 305 hp.
The Ford F-150 at C$ 162 a day brings a 3.5 L, 325 hp engine, and the Chevrolet Colorado at C$ 176 a day runs a 2.7 L unit with 237 hp. The F-150 is the most powerful truck in our line-up, and the Colorado is the most expensive on this page. Both are five-seat petrol automatics with all-wheel drive, like the two smaller trucks.
Delivery and What Comes With the Truck
- Full-to-full fuel: the truck arrives clean with a full tank and must go back full; otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Booking with a manager: the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the deposit, the excess and any fees are set out in the rental agreement.
Four trucks, one drivetrain, one fuel type — and a straightforward choice between a 2.5 L city-friendly Santa Cruz and a 325 hp F-150 for the heaviest work.
What Pickup Trucks Car Rental in Canada Costs and How Longer Bookings Work
Pickup trucks car rental in Canada on this page spans a narrow band: C$ 116 to C$ 176 a day across four trucks.
Daily Rates Across the Four Trucks
The four pickups on this page run from C$ 116 to C$ 176 per day, with the Chevrolet Colorado the most expensive at C$ 176.
| Model | Engine | Power | From per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyundai Santa Cruz | 2.5 L | 191 hp | C$ 116 |
| Ram 1500 | 3.6 L | 305 hp | C$ 136 |
| Ford F-150 | 3.5 L | 325 hp | C$ 162 |
| Chevrolet Colorado | 2.7 L | 237 hp | C$ 176 |
All four come with five seats, a petrol engine and an automatic gearbox, so the choice between them is really about size and power. Worth checking whether the bigger engine actually earns its place on your route before you book it.
Weekly and Monthly Bookings
A week of pickup trucks car rental in Canada starts at C$ 696, and a month starts at C$ 2,436.
Both figures are built as daily x 6 and daily x 21. That means the weekly rate is six daily rates for seven days of use, and the monthly rate is twenty-one daily rates for the month. A longer booking is worth pricing before you lock in separate short rentals — a two-week trip split into two weekly bookings follows the same arithmetic, while mixing a week with a few loose days does not.
What the Rental Agreement Covers
The deposit, the insurance excess and any fees are set out in the rental agreement, and the booking itself is agreed with a manager.
Read the agreement before the hand-over rather than after — the terms that apply to your booking are the ones written there. The car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned full; anything else is charged as set out in the same agreement. The delivery address, date and time are confirmed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and we deliver to any address in Toronto as well as to the three airports in the delivery area.
Who Can Drive a Pickup Trucks Car Rental in Canada
Ontario runs on a simple licence rule for visitors, and it applies to every driver who collects one of our trucks.
Licences for Visitors and the IDP Rule
A visitor to Ontario for less than 3 months can drive on a valid licence from their own province, state or country. Visitors from another country staying more than 3 months need an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from their own country — and here is the catch that trips people up: an IDP cannot be issued in Canada. Sort it before departure, and carry both documents together for the whole rental.
Insurance and the Ownership Permit in the Car
Ontario sets the minimum driving age at 16, and the alcohol rules are strict: criminal liability starts at 0.08 (80 mg per 100 ml of blood), while the 0.05–0.079 «warn range» brings an immediate 7-day licence suspension, an 8-hour course and a fine for a first offence. Drivers aged 21 and under, and holders of G1 or G2 licences, are on zero.
What to Have Ready Before You Collect the Truck
- Driving licence: a valid licence from your own province, state or country covers stays under 3 months; longer stays need an IDP arranged at home.
- Age and payment conditions: the minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge and the cards accepted are agreed when booking, not fixed on this page.
Rent-Trip hands the truck over in Toronto with a full tank, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Taking Your Pickup Trucks Car Rental in Canada Across the Border and Out of Town
Most vehicles hired here can be taken into the United States, but only with permission from the specific branch — and that permission is part of what gets agreed with a manager before you drive off.
Tolls, Winter Tyres and the Rules That Change at the Provincial Line
Winter tyres are the other line that matters. Ontario does not require them, but Quebec does from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered in Quebec, rental cars included, with a fine of C$200–300.
Out-of-Town Routes Worth the Bed Space
The routes that justify a pickup rather than a sedan are the ones with cargo and distance in them. Longer hauls to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City are highway work where the Ram 1500's 3.6 L and 305 hp make the drive easier. We deliver to any address in Toronto and to Pearson, Billy Bishop and Hamilton airports, with the date and time agreed with a manager beforehand, and delivery outside the city is arranged case by case.
One detail from our own hand-overs: the truck leaves with a full tank and comes back full.
Mileage, Fuel and Winter Driving on a Pickup Trucks Car Rental in Canada
Fuel: Full-to-Full, Every Time
- Full tank out: the truck comes clean with a full tank, and you return it full — that is the only fuel option we offer.
- Return short: the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Petrol only: all four trucks run on petrol, so plan your stops around regular grade rather than diesel.
Winter Driving: Tyres, Rules and the Provincial Line
Winter tyres are not compulsory in Ontario, but they are compulsory in Quebec from 1 December to 15 March for cars registered there — rental cars included — and non-compliance carries a fine. Vehicles plated in other provinces fall outside that rule, so a truck collected locally and driven into Quebec is judged by its Ontario registration, not by the calendar.
Kilometres, Tolls and the Border
Cross into the United States and most Canada-registered cars may go, but only with permission from the rental point, and driving out without written permission breaks both the agreement and the insurance.
What to Look at in the Pickup Trucks Car Rental in Canada Agreement
- Delivery fee: delivery to an address in Toronto is arranged with a manager, and the terms of it are set out in the rental agreement.
- Discounts: any reduction on a longer booking is set out in the rental agreement, and the weekly and monthly builds are the ones shown on this page.
The four models on this page run from the Hyundai Santa Cruz at C$ 116 a day to the Chevrolet Colorado at C$ 176 a day, and the agreement is the same document whichever one you take.
Mileage, Fuel and the Return Condition
The fuel rule is fixed and simple: the truck comes clean with a full tank and must go back full, and anything short is charged as the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee, as set out in the rental agreement. No pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty option exists on this page.
Common Mistakes on a Pickup Trucks Car Rental in Canada
They are about the paperwork and the plan around it.
Four Habits That Cost Time
- Assuming the permit can be sorted after landing: an International Driver's Permit cannot be issued in Canada, so a visitor staying more than 3 months arranges it at home before flying.
- Booking the biggest engine by reflex: the Ford F-150 at 325 hp and the Ram 1500 at 305 hp are the two most powerful units here, and an empty bed on a city errand does not need either.
- Leaving the border question to the crossing: permission to take a truck into the United States comes from the rental point, in writing, and without it the trip breaks the contract and the insurance.
What to Confirm Before the Wheels Turn
- Delivery address and time: agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, whether that is an address in Toronto or one of the three airports in the delivery area.
- The US-travel allowance: ask at booking if a crossing is even a possibility, because it is granted by the rental point, with restrictions by class.
- Winter tyres: Ontario does not require them, Quebec does from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered there, and a truck plated in Ontario falls outside that rule.
