Cheap car rental

Our fleet for cheap car rental in Toronto holds 24 cars, from C$ 38 a day for a Mitsubishi Mirage to C$ 70 for a Nissan Sentra. We deliver the car to any address in Toronto, including Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM).

What cheap car rental in Toronto includes with us

Cheap car rental in Toronto with Rent-Trip starts before you reach the car: we bring it to you, and the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

Cheap car rental in Toronto delivered to your address

We deliver the car to any address in Toronto, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. The same service reaches Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM), so a landing at any of the three does not change how the booking is put together. The delivery area also covers Union Station, Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough and Vaughan — all of them inside the same zone. Delivery anywhere outside those places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.

How the booking is agreed before you drive

The minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, the cards accepted and the territory limit are agreed when booking, so raise them in the same conversation as the address.

What is included in every rental

Full-to-full fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank; otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.

Cheap car rental in Toronto by class, from C$ 38 to C$ 70 a day

Classes and daily rates at a glance

A category's "from" price is its entry car, not the top of the page — the cheapest SUV and the cheapest Crossover sit C$ 9 apart.

The cheapest and the most expensive cars on the page

The Mitsubishi Mirage is the cheapest car on this page at C$ 38 a day; the Nissan Sentra is the most expensive at C$ 70.

Matching the class to the trip

SUV when the weather turns: five cars from C$ 58, and the Tiguan, Tucson, Sportage, Pilot and Palisade all send power to all four wheels.

Body styles split 8 Crossovers, 8 SUVs, 4 Hatchbacks, 3 Sedans and 1 MPV, and every one of the 24 cars is automatic. Fuel is petrol on 23 of them, with the Camry the only hybrid — worth knowing if you plan to cover a lot of ground, since regular petrol in the city sat at about C$ 1.75 a litre in October 2026.

Longer bookings on a cheap car rental in Toronto

Weekly and monthly rates follow one rule: weekly is the daily rate times six and monthly is the daily rate times twenty-one. That single rule applies to every one of the 24 cars on this page, so the arithmetic never changes from class to class.

Weekly and monthly rates explained

A week is priced from C$ 228 and a month from C$ 798 — weekly is the daily rate times six, monthly the daily rate times twenty-one. Rent-Trip applies the same multipliers to all 24 cars here, from the C$ 38 Mitsubishi Mirage up to the C$ 70 Nissan Sentra, so the cheapest weekly figure in the fleet comes from the cheapest daily one. Because the rule is proportional, a longer booking is worth comparing class by class — the same six-times figure applied to a C$ 38 car and a C$ 68 car keeps the gap between them at the same ratio it has day to day. Work out your own total before you call: take the daily rate of the class you want, multiply by six for a week or twenty-one for a month, and you have the figure the manager will confirm.

Mileage terms and the full-to-full fuel rule

Mileage terms are agreed when booking, and the car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank. The fuel rule is full-to-full and nothing else — no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty option is offered. Otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.

What a longer booking changes

Class choice: over a month the daily difference between two classes compounds by twenty-one, so pick the class on the first day, not the tenth.

A car that looks like a small step up at C$ 9 a day more becomes a much larger difference across twenty-one days, and the reverse is true: the cheapest class stays proportionally cheapest however long you keep it.

Choosing a cheap car rental in Toronto for your trip

The right class depends on who is travelling and how far. A single driver crossing the city for meetings has different needs from a family of five heading out of town for a weekend, and the 24 cars on this page cover both ends of that range without stretching the budget.

City driving and short errands

For short trips inside the city, the Economy class is the practical choice: four cars starting at C$ 38 a day, all automatic and front-wheel drive. The Mitsubishi Mirage is the entry point at C$ 38 with a 1.2 L engine and 78 hp, and the Toyota Yaris adds a 1.5 L unit at C$ 50.

Longer trips and the highway

The SUV class runs five cars from C$ 58, with the Volkswagen Tiguan at C$ 58 and the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage at C$ 62, all automatic and all-wheel drive. The Crossover class sits just below at C$ 49–C$ 68 across seven cars, and the Toyota Corolla Cross at C$ 61 with a 2.0 L engine and 169 hp is the middle ground between economy and cabin space. On selected stretches of provincial highway the limit is 110 km/h rather than 100 km/h, so watch the signs rather than assume a single figure for the whole trip. Our advice: book the class you need for the longest day of the trip, not the average one.

Families, groups and extra seats

• Five seats: the default across 19 of the 24 cars — enough for a couple with luggage or a small family with two children in the back.
• Hybrid option: the Toyota Camry sedan at C$ 62 is the only hybrid on the page, a 2.5 L with 225 hp and front-wheel drive.

Winter, fuel and the practical details

Winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario, though Quebec requires them from 1 December to 15 March for Quebec-registered vehicles — a rule that does not apply to cars plated in other provinces.

Documents for a cheap car rental in Toronto

Licences, permits and the three-month line

• Over three months: a visitor from another country staying more than 3 months needs an International Driver's Permit (IDP) issued in their own country; it cannot be obtained in Canada, so arrange it before you fly.
• Minimum age by law: the legal minimum to drive in Ontario is 16; the minimum rental age and any young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking, not fixed on this page.

The IDP point is the one that catches people out.

What the agreement covers, and what is agreed when booking

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and that conversation is also where the practical details land: the minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, which cards are accepted and the territory limit. None of those is a rule of Ontario law; they are terms of the rental, and they are settled between you and the manager rather than assumed from a website.

Two driving rules worth knowing before you sign, because they carry real consequences. Alcohol: criminal liability starts at 0.08 (80 mg per 100 ml of blood), and 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; drivers 21 and under, and holders of G1 or G2 licences, must show zero. Speed: the limit is 110 km/h on selected sections of provincial highways instead of the former 100 km/h — read the signs rather than assume, since other highways keep their own posted limits.

Crossing into the United States

Most cars rented in Canada can be taken into the United States, but only with permission from the specific rental location, and restrictions apply by class — large vans and exotic models are usually excluded. Driving across without written permission breaches the agreement and the insurance that goes with it. Carry your passport at the border.

Worth a note for winter trips north: winter tyres are not compulsory in Ontario, but in Quebec they are mandatory from 1 December to 15 March for cars registered in Quebec, rental cars included, with a fine of C$200–300. Cars plated in other provinces fall outside that rule — so a Toronto-registered rental driven into Quebec is not caught by it, though the conditions you meet are your own to judge.

Common mistakes with a cheap car rental in Toronto

Booking the class before the trip

One class for a mixed week: city errands and a highway run to Muskoka pull in different directions — book for the longest day, not the average one.

Leaving the return time vague

Fuel follows the same logic: the car comes 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.

An International Driver's Permit cannot be obtained in Canada, so a visitor staying more than three months who arrives without one has to start again at home. Arrange it in your own country and carry it alongside the licence it translates.

Renting cheap for a longer stay in Toronto

A month in the city changes what matters in a rental: the daily figure stops being the headline and the practical rhythm of the booking takes over.

Why the class decision matters more over a month

Over twenty-one days the daily difference between two classes compounds by the same multiplier, so a C$ 9 step up between the cheapest Crossover and the cheapest SUV becomes a much larger gap across a month.

The Toyota Camry is the single hybrid on the page at C$ 62 a day, a 2.5 L with 225 hp and front-wheel drive — worth a look if the month involves a lot of distance. Winter tyres are not compulsory in Ontario, though Quebec requires them from 1 December to 15 March for Quebec-registered vehicles, rental cars included, with a fine of C$200–300; cars plated in other provinces fall outside that rule.
