Buick car rental in Toronto
Every Buick car rental in Toronto on this page is a single car: the Buick Encore crossover, 5 seats, petrol, automatic, at C$ 49 a day. We bring it to any address in Toronto or to Pearson (YYZ), Billy Bishop (YTZ) or Hamilton (YHM), supplied with a full tank.
What the Buick Encore offers on a Toronto rental
One model, one class, one rate.
Buick Encore specs at a glance
The car is a five-seat Crossover with a 1.2 L, 137 hp petrol engine, automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
Buick car rental in Toronto rates by booking length
| Booking length | Rate | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| One week | C$ 294 | The same car, charged as six days |
| One month | C$ 1,029 | The same car, charged as twenty-one days |
A week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one, so longer bookings change the arithmetic, not the car. The Crossover class holds one vehicle at C$ 49 a day, and that single rate is both the cheapest and the most expensive figure in the class — there is no cheaper trim and no dearer one to compare against.

Where we deliver a Buick car rental in Toronto
Delivery outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.
What to have ready when the Encore arrives
A guest in Ontario for less than 3 months drives on a valid licence from their own province, state or country — that is the provincial rule, not a company preference. Anyone visiting from another country for more than 3 months needs an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from their own country, and it cannot be issued in Canada, so sort it before you fly. The legal minimum age to drive in Ontario is 16; the minimum age for this booking, any young-driver surcharge and the accepted payment cards are agreed when booking. The driver must carry insurance for the car and the original or an exact copy of the ownership permit, and both travel with the vehicle.
Driving a Buick rental in Toronto through an Ontario winter
Licence, age and winter tyres for a Buick car rental in Toronto
- Visiting under 3 months: a guest in Ontario for less than 3 months drives on a valid licence from their own province, state or country.
- Visiting over 3 months: anyone from another country staying longer than 3 months needs an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from their own country — it cannot be issued in Canada.
- Age: the legal minimum age to drive in Ontario is 16; the minimum age for a rental and any young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking.
- Insurance and registration: the driver must carry insurance on the car and keep the original or an exact copy of the ownership permit in the vehicle.
- Winter tyres: winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario, so the Encore is not required to run them.
- Quebec: Quebec does require them from 1 December to 15 March for Quebec-registered cars, including rentals, with a fine of C$ 200–300 — cars on out-of-province plates are exempt.
What the law says about the drive itself
Alcohol: from 0.08 (80 mg per 100 ml of blood) it is a criminal matter; the 0.05–0.079 «warn range» brings an immediate 7-day licence suspension, an 8-hour course and a C$ 250 fine for a first offence, and drivers aged 21 or under or holding G1/G2 licences must show zero.
Tolls and fuel on a Buick car rental in Toronto
The first is simple — one petrol engine, full-to-full.
Highway 407 ETR is a cashless toll road: light vehicles pay from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ per km depending on zone and time of entry, plus a C$ 1 trip toll charge. There are no booths and no way to pay at the roadside — cameras read the plate. Without a transponder, camera charges are C$ 5.30 per trip and C$ 5 a month as an account fee.
Fuel rules for the Encore, full to full
- Full tank out: the car comes clean with a full tank, so you start with a known quantity and a fuel gauge you can trust.
- Full tank back: return it full as well. Full-to-full is the only policy Rent-Trip offers, and it keeps the maths honest on both sides.
- No pre-paid option: we do not sell a pre-paid tank or a full-to-empty deal, so there is nothing to weigh up at hand-over.
- Regular petrol: the 1.2 L, 137 hp engine runs on regular, which sat at about C$1.75 a litre in October 2026.
Trips out of Toronto in a Buick rental car
Fuel is the one number worth planning around.
Two practical points that catch people out. Highway 407 ETR is cashless and charges by zone and time of entry, from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ per km for cars plus a C$ 1 trip toll charge; without a transponder the camera charges are C$ 5.30 per trip and C$ 5 a month, and who pays them is agreed at reservation.
Winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario, which matters if a Muskoka weekend is on the table. In Quebec they are compulsory from 1 December to 15 March for Quebec-registered cars, fine C$ 200–300, but out-of-province plates are exempt — so a Toronto-registered Encore crossing the provincial line is not caught by that rule.
Buick Encore details on a Buick car rental in Toronto
Longer stays: a visitor from another country for more than 3 months needs an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from their own country — it cannot be issued in Canada.
What the agreement covers
The rental agreement carries the deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts, and none of those are quoted on this page.
Why book a Buick car rental in Toronto with Rent-Trip
Rent-Trip keeps the choice simple: one model, one class, one rate, and the car brought to the address you give us.
- Full-to-full fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and goes back the same way, so the only fuel you pay for is the fuel you burn.
- Longer bookings cost less per day: a week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one, so the daily figure falls the longer you keep the car.
What we do not do is dress the offer up. The same goes for tolls on Highway 407 ETR and for who pays them — that is agreed when booking, not assumed.
The practical value sits in the details. Winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario, but if your route crosses into Quebec between 1 December and 15 March, Quebec-registered cars must have them and the fine runs C$ 200–300; a car on out-of-province plates is exempt from that rule. Knowing this in advance is the difference between a smooth trip and an argument at the roadside.
