Passenger vans car rental in Toronto
Rent-Trip offers passenger vans car rental in Toronto with one vehicle in the class: the Ford Transit Passenger Van, a 12-seat minibus with petrol engine and automatic transmission, from C$ 182 a day. We deliver the van 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).
What the passenger vans car rental fleet in Toronto actually includes
Our passenger van hire is built around a single vehicle: the 12-seat Ford Transit Passenger Van. Rent-Trip delivers the vehicle to your address or to one of three airports, and the hand-over time is agreed with a manager when you book.
The 12-seat Ford Transit and its specifications
Rent-Trip's people carrier runs on one model — the Ford Transit Passenger Van, a Minibus with 12 seats, petrol, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 3.5 L and 275 hp. Every figure above is the specification of the one van in this class, not an average across a range.
Seats, luggage and the airport run
Airport pick-up: the van can be handed over at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) or John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM).
Passenger vans car rental in Toronto rates by duration
Longer bookings are priced from the same day rate, so the arithmetic stays the same whether you need the Ford Transit for a weekend or for a month.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates for the 12-seat van
| Duration | Rate | How it is calculated |
|---|---|---|
| Per day | C$ 182 | The day rate for the Ford Transit Passenger Van |
| Per week | C$ 1,092 | Daily rate x 6 |
| Per month | C$ 3,822 | Daily rate x 21 |
The van is C$ 182 per day, C$ 1,092 per week and C$ 3,822 per month. Weekly is daily x 6 and monthly is daily x 21, so a longer booking is priced by the same day rate — the multiplier changes, the rate itself does not.
What the rental agreement sets out
The deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and discounts are set out in the rental agreement.
Choosing a duration for a group trip
- A full week: the weekly rate of C$ 1,092 applies, which is the daily rate x 6 rather than x 7.
- A month: the monthly rate of C$ 3,822 is the daily rate x 21, useful for visiting family or a relocation.
The one van on this page is a 12-seat Ford Transit Passenger Van, petrol and automatic, so every rate above describes the same vehicle.
Where passenger vans car rental in Toronto delivers the van
Places inside the delivery area
Union Station, Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough and Vaughan all sit inside our delivery area, and each one has its own page on the site. Outside those places delivery is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask before you count on it.
Agreeing the address, date and time with a manager
The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Fuel, mileage and paperwork for passenger vans car rental in Toronto
Full-to-full fuel and what petrol costs
The vehicle comes clean with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank. No other fuel option — a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty — is offered on the site; full-to-full is the only arrangement. Otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Licences, insurance and the ownership permit
- Foreign licence: a visitor to Ontario for less than 3 months may drive on a valid licence from their own province, state or country.
- Longer stays: 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 obtained in Canada.
- Insurance: the driver must carry insurance for the vehicle — it is not something you can leave at home.
- Minimum age: the legal minimum age to drive in Ontario is 16; the rental minimum is agreed when booking.
Payment method and deposit sit in the same conversation, and the deposit is set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here.
Alcohol, speed and the rules that catch visitors out
Ontario treats alcohol behind the wheel criminally from 0.08 (80 mg per 100 ml of blood). In the 0.05–0.079 warn range a first offence brings an immediate 7-day licence suspension and an 8-hour course; drivers aged 21 and under, and holders of G1 or G2 licences, must show zero. Winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario; Quebec requires them from 1 December to 15 March for Quebec-registered cars, rentals included, and cars on plates from other provinces are not covered by that rule. Crossing into the United States in the van needs written permission from the rental point, and a passport at the border — most Canada-registered cars may go, but large vans are among the restricted classes.
Out-of-town trips with passenger vans car rental in Toronto
A 12-seat van makes sense of the long runs out of the city — Niagara Falls, Muskoka, Algonquin Park — where a group would otherwise split across two cars and lose the point of travelling together.
Where the van earns its keep
Light-vehicle rates vary by zone and time of entry, and there is a trip toll charge; without a transponder there is a camera charge per trip and a monthly account fee. Fuel is full-to-full: the van leaves with a full tank and comes back the same way, and petrol sat at about C$1.75 per litre in October 2026.
Crossing into the United States
Most vehicles rented in Canada can be taken into the United States, but only with permission from the rental office, and large vans are among the classes that offices restrict. Without written permission the crossing breaks both the agreement and the insurance, so ask early and get the answer in writing; a passport is needed at the border regardless. Winter tyres are not compulsory in Ontario, though Quebec requires them from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered there — a rule that does not touch a van on Ontario plates.
Choosing between passenger vans car rental in Toronto and a cargo van
The choice comes down to one question: are the passengers and their luggage travelling together, or is the trip about volume? Passenger vans car rental in Toronto is built around people, and a cargo van is built around boxes. Our passenger van service is built around people — a Ford Transit Passenger Van with 12 seats, petrol, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 3.5 L and 275 hp at C$ 182 a day.
The difference shows up the moment a group lands.
Where our van wins is a group with a schedule:
- Seats: 12 places in one vehicle, so a family or a team stays together instead of convoying.
- Delivered to you: the van arrives at your address or the airport, so nobody collects it from a depot.
What does help is delivery to your address: the van comes to you, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
The practical test is simple.
Booking passenger vans car rental in Toronto with a manager
- The vehicle: one Ford Transit Passenger Van, a Minibus with 12 seats, petrol, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 3.5 L and 275 hp, at C$ 182 per day.
- Longer bookings: C$ 1,092 per week and C$ 3,822 per month, priced as daily x 6 and daily x 21.
- The hand-over point: any address in Toronto, or Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM).
- What the manager settles with you: the delivery address, the date and the time.
- What sits in the rental agreement: the deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and discounts.
So when you book, give the door or the flight, and give a time you can actually meet.
Ask about the rest at the same moment. The minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, the cards accepted and the territory limit are all agreed when booking — they are not printed as fixed conditions on this page, and a manager confirms them for your dates.
One more thing worth raising early: a trip across the border.
