By car to Quebec City
Our fleet for a trip from Toronto to Quebec City numbers 62 cars, from C$ 49 to C$ 322 a day, with weekly bookings from C$ 294 and monthly from C$ 1,029. 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 car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City includes
Car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City is a self-drive arrangement with Rent-Trip: we bring the car to you, you drive it to Quebec City and back, and the delivery address, dates and terms are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Where the car is delivered before the drive
We bring 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). Union Station, Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough and Vaughan all sit inside that delivery area, so a pick-up from a hotel, a home or a station platform is a normal request rather than an exception. The car arrives clean and with a full tank. On the way back the tank is topped up again — the full-to-full rule is the only fuel option we offer, and the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Delivery outside these places is arranged case by case — confirm the address with a manager before the booking is fixed, not on the day.
How the booking is fixed with a manager
The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager ahead of the booking being fixed, and that conversation is where the practical details of the Quebec City run get settled.
- Delivery address: any address in Toronto, or YYZ, YTZ and YHM — agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
- Dates and times: collection and return slots are set at booking, so the Quebec City drive is planned around them.
- Fuel: the car comes with a full tank and returns full; no pre-paid or full-to-empty option is offered.
- Agreement terms: deposit, excess and delivery fees are written into the rental agreement, never quoted on this page.
- Outside the delivery area: handled case by case, and never promised on the site until a manager confirms it.
The car itself is part of the package: 62 vehicles on this page, all automatic, from C$ 49 to C$ 322 a day, with weekly bookings from C$ 294 and monthly from C$ 1,029.
Choosing a class for car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
| Class | Cars | From, per day | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crossover | 15 | C$ 49 | 5 |
| SUV | 31 | C$ 58 | 5, 7, 8 |
| Comfort | 10 | C$ 68 | 5 |
| Minivans | 6 | C$ 68 | 7, 8 |
The Crossover class opens the range with the Buick Encore at C$ 49 a day and the Mitsubishi RVR at C$ 53 — front-wheel drive, 1.2–2.0 L, enough for two people and a pair of weekend bags. Minivans from C$ 68 cover the large-group case: the Honda Odyssey at C$ 68 with eight seats, the Chrysler Pacifica at C$ 137 with seven.
Seats, fuel and transmission across the fleet
All 62 cars are automatic; 60 run on petrol and 2 are hybrid, with 42 five-seat, 10 seven-seat and 10 eight-seat cars.
- Hybrid: the Toyota Prius at C$ 79 and Toyota Sienna at C$ 107 — the only two in the fleet.
- Automatic only: no manual gearbox is offered, so anyone licensed on an automatic can drive the whole fleet.
Picking by trip, not by size
The page minimum sits at C$ 49 a day in the Crossover class, and the weekly rate works out at six times the daily rate while the monthly rate is twenty-one times — worth checking before you fix dates for a return trip.
The route for car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
What decides how the trip actually feels is where you sleep, when you leave, and what the car does on the long climbs.
Crossing into Quebec with car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
Quebec requires winter tyres from 1 December to 15 March only for Quebec-registered vehicles, with a C$ 200–300 fine for those that break the rule; cars on out-of-province plates are not covered by it, so an Ontario-registered vehicle is outside that obligation. Ontario itself does not make winter tyres mandatory at all.
Documents, plates and what to carry across the line
- 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 issued in Canada.
- Insurance and ownership: the driver must carry insurance for the car and keep the original or an exact copy of the ownership permit in the vehicle.
- Minimum age: the legal minimum to drive in Ontario is 16; the minimum age for a booking and any young-driver surcharge are agreed when booking.
- Fuel: the car leaves with a full tank and comes back full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are set out in the rental agreement.
Speed, alcohol and the small print of the drive
Alcohol is a criminal matter from 0.08 (80 mg per 100 ml of blood); 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, or holding G1/G2 licences, are on zero.
Car rental in Toronto for Quebec City: road charges agreed when booking
Below is what we can state plainly and what stays in the rental agreement.
Regular petrol sat at about C$1.75 a litre in October 2026, with diesel at C$2.61 — a gap wide enough that a diesel car makes no sense on this route unless you already run one at home. The full-to-full rule is the one that decides your fuel bill: the car leaves with a full tank and comes back full, and anything short is charged as missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee under the rental agreement.
Highway 407 ETR is the tolled road in this region, and it has no booths — cameras read the plate. For light vehicles the rate runs from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ per km depending on zone and time of entry, plus a C$1 trip toll charge; without a transponder there is a C$5.30 camera charge per trip and a C$5 monthly account fee. Who pays road charges, tolls and any penalty notice on a rented car is agreed when booking — it is not something we settle on the page.
Winter tyres: the Quebec rule and what it means for you
Quebec requires winter tyres from 1 December to 15 March, but only for vehicles registered in Quebec — including rental cars plated there — with a fine of C$ 200–300. A car on Ontario plates is not covered by that rule, so a Toronto-registered vehicle does not legally need them for a winter run.
What stays in the rental agreement
Deposit and insurance excess: set out in the rental agreement, never a figure on this page — read both before you confirm dates.
Longer bookings with car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
A week in Quebec City and back is where the rental maths changes. Our rates run from C$ 49 to C$ 322 a day, and once you book longer than a few days the multipliers do the work: a weekly booking is charged at six times the daily rate, a monthly one at twenty-one times.
How the weekly and monthly rates work
- Weekly rate: six times the daily rate, so seven days in a C$ 61 Toyota Corolla Cross cost the same as six days at the daily price.
- Monthly rate: twenty-one times the daily rate, which suits anyone spending a month in Quebec City rather than turning straight round.
- Class still sets the figure: an SUV week is priced off that car's own daily rate, not off the cheapest car on the page.
The arithmetic is worth running before you pick a class. Thirty days at the monthly multiplier on a C$ 58 Volkswagen Tiguan is far less than the same car at the daily rate, and the gap widens the further up the range you go — a C$ 84 Jeep Grand Cherokee month is a different proposition from thirty separate daily bookings.
What a longer booking changes about the trip
On a two-week stay the car stops being transport and starts being your base.
Two things to settle before you commit to a long booking. The first is fuel: 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.
The second is the paperwork.
Trip scenarios for car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
The car you pick for the run east depends on who is in it and what the week looks like at the other end.
Two families travelling together
Eight seats is the answer when two households share the drive, and the Honda Pilot and Hyundai Palisade both sit at C$ 68 a day with all-wheel drive and a 3.5–3.8 L engine.
A winter run between December and March
The Jeep Cherokee at C$ 70, the Nissan Murano at C$ 71 and the Honda CR-V at C$ 74 all carry all-wheel drive, and the Subaru Crosstrek at C$ 70 brings it into the Crossover price band.
A golf or ski trip with equipment
Decide which of the two you need before you book, not at the kerb.
Comparing classes for car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
Side by side on the numbers that matter
| Class | Cars | From, per day | Seats | Drive | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 10 | C$ 68 | 5 | Front-wheel | Long highway days, low fuel use |
Comfort is the narrowest band, C$ 68 to C$ 84, and its one hybrid is the Toyota Prius at C$ 79. Minivans run C$ 68 to C$ 156 across six cars.
Where the classes actually differ on this route
Fuel: 60 of the 62 cars are petrol and 2 are hybrid, so the hybrid question is a narrow one — the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Sienna, nothing else.
What to check in the agreement for car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
The four lines that carry a number
- Delivery fees: written into the agreement, and worth reading alongside the delivery address you agreed with the manager.
- Fuel: the car leaves full and returns full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
There is no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty option on this site — the full-to-full rule is the only one we offer, so plan the last refuel before you hand the car back rather than after.
What the agreement does not fix in advance
Tolls, road charges and any penalty notice picked up on the drive are not settled on this page — how they are handled is agreed when booking, so raise it with the manager before the dates are fixed. The same goes for the minimum age for a booking and any young-driver surcharge: both are agreed when booking, not published here. Territory limits beyond the delivery area in Toronto are also a booking conversation, since delivery outside those places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.
Questions worth asking before you sign
Documents: the agreement lists what to carry, and the driver must keep the original or an exact copy of the ownership permit in the vehicle along with proof of insurance.
Delivery and return for car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
Getting the car at the start of the trip
The hand-over point can be a hotel forecourt, a home driveway or a station pick-up, and the exact address is confirmed with a manager at the time of booking rather than assumed on the morning itself. We bring the vehicle to any address within the city and to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM). The car arrives clean and with a full tank, and the date and time of collection are fixed in the same conversation as the address. If your flight leaves early, build the hand-over into that same window instead of counting on a kerbside drop.
Handing it back after the drive east
Full tank: it must go back full, or the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged under the rental agreement.
Common mistakes on car rental in Toronto for a trip to Quebec City
Mistake one: booking the biggest car rather than the right one
Match the class to the group and the luggage, and move up only when the seats or the boot actually run out — the SUV class starts at C$ 58, so the step is small when you need it and wasted when you do not.
Mistake two: leaving the delivery address to the last day
The delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
Mistake three: reading the winter-tyre rule backwards
Quebec's winter-tyre requirement from 1 December to 15 March applies to vehicles registered in Quebec, with a fine for those that break it; a car on Ontario plates is outside that obligation.
Highway 407 ETR is the tolled road here, with rates that depend on zone and time of entry for light vehicles, plus a trip toll charge and a camera charge per trip and a monthly account fee without a transponder. Who pays road charges and any penalty notice is agreed when booking.
Mistake five: pricing a month at the daily rate
Weekly bookings are charged at six times the daily rate and monthly at twenty-one times, so a month at the daily rate is a needlessly expensive way to book the same car. Run the multiplier before you confirm dates — on the cheapest Crossover a month is C$ 1,029, and the gap against thirty daily charges is a saving worth having.
