Pickup trucks car rental in Toronto
A week of moving furniture, hauling garden supplies or heading up to a cottage is easier when the vehicle matches the job — and that is exactly what pickup trucks car rental in Toronto covers.
Four models you can book for pickup trucks car rental in Toronto
Our pickup truck line-up covers four models — the Hyundai Santa Cruz, Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Colorado.
Specs side by side for every model
| Model | Engine | Output | Daily rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Booking a truck with us
Rent-Trip keeps the booking simple: you tell us the dates, the model and where the vehicle should arrive, and a manager confirms the arrangement before it is fixed. If your load is a mattress and two suitcases, the Colorado's extra output buys you nothing but a higher rate.
What pickup trucks car rental in Toronto costs day by day
Rates across our four pickups run from C$ 116 to C$ 176 a day, and longer bookings follow the same ladder: a week is charged at six days, a month at twenty-one.
Daily rates across the pickup range
Pickup trucks car rental in Toronto runs from C$ 116 a day for the Hyundai Santa Cruz to C$ 176 a day for the Chevrolet Colorado. The Colorado at the top of the range pairs a 2.7 L engine with 237 hp.
Pickup truck rates at a glance
| Model | Engine | Output | Daily rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Longer bookings — weekly and monthly rates
Weekly pickup rental starts at C$ 696 and monthly rental starts at C$ 2,436, both calculated from the entry rate of the Hyundai Santa Cruz. A week is charged as six days and a month as twenty-one, so the multiplier stays the same whichever model you take — a month in the Ford F-150, for instance, is twenty-one times its C$ 162 day rate rather than thirty separate days. Ask the manager to walk you through it before the booking is fixed.
What moves the final figure
The car is supplied with a full tank and must come back full — full-to-full is the only fuel option we offer, and a missing tank plus a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Delivery inside the city and to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM) is arranged when you book, and the address, date and time are confirmed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Door-to-door delivery with pickup trucks car rental in Toronto
We bring the truck to you rather than asking you to collect it: pickup trucks car rental in Toronto from Rent-Trip starts with a delivery address and a time, both agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. That covers a home, a hotel, a job site or one of three airports.
How delivery works and what gets agreed
We deliver the pickup to any address in the city and to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM). Delivery outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask before you plan around it. The truck arrives clean and with a full tank, and it goes back the same way: full-to-full, with the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Licence: a visitor to Ontario for less than 3 months drives on a valid licence from their own province, state or country; 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 and registration: the driver must carry insurance for the vehicle and keep the original or an exact copy of the ownership permit in the truck.
- Fuel: petrol only — a full tank goes back full, so plan the last refill before hand-back.
- Tolls: Highway 407 ETR is cashless, with light-vehicle rates from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ a kilometre by zone and time of entry, a C$1 trip toll charge, and without a transponder a camera charge of C$5.30 per trip plus a C$5 monthly account fee — who covers road charges is agreed when booking.
Who can drive a pickup trucks car rental in Toronto
A guest visiting Ontario for less than 3 months drives on a valid licence from their own province, state or country. Anyone arriving from another country for more than 3 months needs an International Driver's Permit from their own country — and it cannot be obtained in Canada.
Licence rules for a short visit and a long stay
Ontario's own wording is blunt: if you are visiting for less than 3 months, you can use a valid driver's licence from your own province, state or country. Stay longer than that as a visitor from abroad and an IDP from your home country becomes the document you need — issued there, not here. The legal minimum age to drive in the province is 16, though the minimum age for our trucks and any young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking, not read off a statute. Bring the licence itself plus your passport; at the border into the United States a passport is what gets checked.
Documents the truck has to carry
Ontario requires the insurance and an original or exact copy of the ownership permit to be in the car, so keep both where you can reach them at a roadside check. Our trucks come clean and with a full tank, and the tank goes back full — full-to-full, with any missing fuel and a refuelling service fee set out in the rental agreement.
- Home licence: a valid licence from your own province, state or country covers a visit of under 3 months.
- International Driver's Permit: required for a stay beyond 3 months if you arrived from another country; obtain it before leaving home.
- Insurance and ownership permit: must travel in the vehicle, original or exact copy.
- Passport: needed at the United States border if the route crosses it.
Alcohol, speed and the way Ontario roads read
Ontario treats alcohol behind the wheel as a criminal matter from 0.08 — 80 mg per 100 ml of blood. Between 0.05 and 0.079 sits the warn range: 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, are held to zero. Read the signs rather than the habit you brought with you, and keep the truck's all-wheel drive for slush and gravel, not for speed.
Crossing into the United States and winter tyres
Most vehicles rented in Canada can be taken into the United States, but only with permission from the specific rental point, and restrictions apply to some classes; driving across without written permission breaks both the agreement and the insurance. Winter tyres are not compulsory in Ontario, while Quebec requires them from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered there, rental cars included, with a C$ 200–300 fine — cars on plates from other provinces fall outside that rule.
Winter driving a pickup trucks car rental in Toronto
Ontario does not require winter tyres, so nothing on this page depends on a seasonal swap; what matters is how you load the bed and how you read the road.
Weight, tyres and the rules that actually apply
- All-wheel drive across the range: the Hyundai Santa Cruz, Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Colorado all send power to all four wheels, so no model needs a weather upgrade to leave a plowed side street.
- Winter tyres in Ontario: not mandatory, unlike Quebec, where they are required from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered there — including rental cars — with a fine of C$ 200–300. A pickup registered in Ontario is outside that rule.
- Fuel, full-to-full: the truck leaves with a full tank and must come back full, otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Tolls, fuel prices and paperwork for a winter trip
The trucks run on regular petrol, with diesel available at the pump. Who covers tolls and any penalty notice is agreed when booking, so raise it before the trip rather than after. The four trucks on this page all run on petrol with an automatic gearbox and five seats, from the Hyundai Santa Cruz at C$ 116 a day to the Chevrolet Colorado at C$ 176 a day.
Where a winter pickup earns its keep
Match the body to the trip, not to the forecast.
Crossing into the US in winter
Most vehicles rented in Canada may be taken into the United States, but only with permission from the specific rental location, and some classes are restricted. Without written permission the trip breaks the agreement and the insurance, and a passport is needed at the border. Ask about a US trip when the booking is agreed, not at the crossing.
Trip scenarios that suit a pickup trucks car rental in Toronto
Cottage and out-of-town runs
Cross-border: a United States trip needs permission from the rental point before you leave, and a passport at the crossing.
What the agreement covers for pickup trucks car rental in Toronto
Pickup trucks car rental in Toronto is priced by the day, but the daily rate is the headline, not the whole bill.
Terms to read before you sign
- Fuel: full-to-full is the only option we offer — the truck leaves with a full tank and comes back full, otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the agreement.
- Tolls and penalties: who covers Highway 407 ETR charges and any penalty notice is agreed when booking — raise it before the trip, not after.
- Minimum age and young-driver surcharge: agreed when booking, not read off a statute.
Delivery, hand-over and return
Rent-Trip brings the truck to any address across the city and to the three airports named on our delivery page; anywhere beyond that is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.
Long stays and repeat bookings
A month is charged at twenty-one days, so monthly pickup rental starts at C$ 2,436 from the entry rate of the Hyundai Santa Cruz, and the same multiplier holds whichever model you take. Two rules catch people out on the road: alcohol from 0.08 (80 mg per 100 ml of blood) 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 on a first offence, and drivers aged 21 or under and holders of G1/G2 licences must show zero. Highway speed limits are 110 km/h on selected stretches of provincial highway rather than the old 100 km/h — read the signs, because the rest of the network keeps its own posted limit.
