Ram car rental in Toronto

A week of hauling furniture, tools or a film crew's kit around the Greater Toronto Area needs a vehicle that can take the load — our Ram car rental in Toronto covers that with two vehicles: the Ram 1500 pickup and the Ram ProMaster 1500 panel van, from C$ 136 a day.

What Ram Car Rental in Toronto Includes

This section covers the two Ram vehicles Rent-Trip keeps for this city, what each one is built to do, and how the hand-over works: the car is brought to the address you give us, at a date and time a manager confirms before the reservation is fixed.

Two Ram Models in the Fleet

Our Toronto fleet has two vehicles — the Ram 1500 pickup and the Ram ProMaster 1500 panel van. The Ram 1500 sits in the Pickup trucks class at C$ 136 a day, with a 3.6 L engine, 305 hp, all-wheel drive, an automatic gearbox, petrol fuel and 5 seats. The Ram ProMaster 1500 is the Commercial class option at C$ 170 a day: a 2-seat panel van on the same 3.6 L petrol engine, rated 276 hp, with front-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. Both are left-hand drive, as every car on this market is, and both run on petrol at about C$1.75 a litre as of October 2026. The two cover different jobs: one hauls and tows in an open bed, the other carries cargo inside a closed body, so pick by load, not by size.

Delivery to Any Address in the City

We deliver the Ram to any address here, including Union Station, Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough and Vaughan. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Delivery outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so a run to Muskoka or Niagara Falls needs a conversation first rather than an assumption. The car arrives clean and with a full tank, and it goes back the same way — full-to-full. Anything else about the missing fuel and the refuelling service fee is set out in the rental agreement. Confirm the exact spot before the reservation is fixed: a changed address afterwards may fall outside what was agreed.

Airport Pickup Points

• Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ): the main long-haul gateway, 36.0 km by road from the city centre and 47,300,000 passengers in 2025 — allow for the transfer, not just the flight.
• Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ): the downtown island airport, 6.0 km by road from the centre, with 1,700,000 passengers in 2025 and the shortest hop to a city address.
• John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM): 86.7 km by road, 329,595 passengers in 2025 — the farthest of the three, so fix the hand-over time with the manager around your landing.

Give the manager your flight and terminal when you book, because the hand-over time is set against your arrival rather than after it.

Ram 1500 Pickup for Hauling on a Ram Car Rental in Toronto

The Ram 1500 is the half-tonne pickup we hand over for house moves, furniture runs and trailer work, and it is the cheaper of the two Ram models on this page at C$ 136 a day. It carries five people, runs on petrol and comes with all-wheel drive, which is the part most renters underestimate until the first snow.

Ram 1500 Specs at a Glance

The Ram 1500 in our Toronto fleet runs a 3.6 L engine with 305 hp, all-wheel drive, an automatic gearbox, petrol fuel and 5 seats. The body is a standard pickup bed, and the truck sits in the Pickup trucks class alongside nothing else on this page — it is the only open-bed vehicle we deliver here. All-wheel drive is not a luxury trim on this model; it is the driven axle you actually lean on between November and March, when Ontario does not require winter tyres but the road surface asks for them anyway. Book the Ram 1500 when the load is bulky rather than heavy, and check the bed dimensions against your cargo before the reservation is fixed — a pickup bed is shorter than most people picture it.

Moving, Hauling and Towing with the Ram 1500

• House moves: the open bed takes boxes, furniture and appliances that will not fit through a van door, and the five-seat cab carries the people helping you.
• Furniture and appliance runs: a single run to Mississauga or Scarborough costs less in time than several trips in a car, because the load goes in one go.
• Trailer towing: the Ram 1500 is the model we hand over when a trailer is part of the job; confirm the trailer and its weight with a manager when booking, since the arrangement is agreed case by case.
• Yard and garden work: soil, gravel, timber and plants travel in the bed, and the all-wheel drive keeps the truck stable on a wet or unpaved driveway.
• Winter driving: all-wheel drive and the 305 hp engine make the truck predictable on slush, though the bed is light and unloaded rear wheels break traction sooner than a loaded one.

Load the bed evenly over the rear axle rather than at the tailgate — a pickup handles very differently when the weight sits at the back edge, and an unloaded bed in snow is the one thing that catches first-time drivers out.

What the Ram 1500 Costs Against the Van

Weekly rates run at six times the daily rate and monthly at twenty-one times, so a longer booking is worth pricing before you commit to a single day. Fuel is full-to-full: the truck arrives with a full tank and goes back the same way, otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. In our experience the Ram 1500 is the right call when the load is awkward and open to the air, and the wrong one when it needs to stay dry and out of sight.

Ram Car Rental in Toronto for Moves in a ProMaster 1500 Van

The Ram ProMaster 1500 is the second vehicle in our Toronto fleet, a closed panel van for cargo that should stay dry, secure and out of sight. It suits couriers, tradespeople and households on moving day, and our Ram car rental in Toronto delivers it to any address in the city.

Ram ProMaster 1500 Specs

The Ram ProMaster 1500 is a 2-seat panel van with a 3.6 L engine, 276 hp, front-wheel drive, an automatic gearbox and petrol fuel. The body is a closed Commercial-class panel van rather than an open bed, so the load bay is fully enclosed on all sides and behind the bulkhead. Two seats mean a driver and one passenger, with the rest of the length given over to cargo. At C$ 170 a day it is the most expensive of the two Ram models on this page, and the only Commercial-class vehicle we list. Front-wheel drive and a low load floor make the van easier to load at a kerb than a rear-drive pickup of the same length — you lift boxes to waist height instead of over a tailgate.

Delivery Work and House Moves

Small businesses use the ProMaster 1500 for parcel and equipment delivery, and households use the same van for a house move. The closed panel body keeps cargo out of sight and out of rain — the reason many pick it over an open pickup bed for daily work. A few reservation points decide how smooth the day goes:

• Closed load bay: keeps parcels, tools and furniture dry and hidden from view at every stop.
• Two seats: plan for a driver plus one helper, not a full crew.
• Automatic and petrol: no special licence or fuelling routine, and regular unleaded is about C$ 1.75 a litre in October 2026.
• Full-to-full fuel: the van comes with a full tank and goes back with one; the missing fuel and a refuelling fee are set out in the rental agreement.
• Delivery address: the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

For a move, book the van for the whole loading and unloading window rather than a half-day — a closed body takes longer to fill than an open bed because everything goes in through the rear doors. If your route crosses Highway 407 ETR, note that it is a cashless toll road charging from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ a kilometre for light vehicles, plus a C$ 1 trip toll charge; without a transponder the camera charge is C$ 5.30 a trip and a C$ 5 monthly account fee. Who covers tolls and charges on a rental is agreed when booking, so raise it with the manager before the keys change hands.

Why Businesses Pick the Van Over the Pickup

The ProMaster 1500 wins on any job where the cargo must stay covered. Courier rounds, equipment drops and furniture moves all involve stops where an open bed leaves goods exposed, and the panel body solves that without a tarpaulin. The Ram 1500 remains the better choice when you tow or carry loose material like soil or timber. The Rent-Trip Toronto fleet covers both, so the decision comes down to load type rather than budget. If you are unsure which body fits your job, describe the cargo to the manager at booking — the delivery slot and the model are confirmed together.

Ram Car Rental in Toronto by Class and Trip

Two Ram models cover very different jobs in our fleet, and the class you pick should follow the load, not the badge on the grille. One is a five-seat pickup with all-wheel drive, the other a two-seat panel van with a closed body and front-wheel drive. Both run petrol through an automatic gearbox and both arrive on a full tank.

Pickup Truck Class: Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 is the only pickup in the class, at C$ 136 a day — the cheapest Ram on this page. A 3.6 L engine with 305 hp, all-wheel drive, automatic transmission, petrol and five seats make it the pick for a family move, a furniture run or a trailer behind the bed. Weekly bookings are calculated as the daily rate times six, monthly as the daily rate times twenty-one. On a full tank you get a vehicle that suits both a downtown errand and a run out to Muskoka with a loaded bed.

Commercial Class: Ram ProMaster 1500

The Ram ProMaster 1500 is the commercial side of the fleet, at C$ 170 a day and the most expensive Ram here. Its 3.6 L engine makes 276 hp, power goes to the front wheels, the gearbox is automatic, fuel is petrol, and there are two seats in the cab. The panel body keeps parcels, tools and equipment out of sight and out of the weather, which is why it turns up on small-business delivery routes and house moves alike. Front-wheel drive and a low load floor make kerbside loading easier than on a rear-drive pickup.

Matching the Ram to the Trip

• House move: the ProMaster 1500 takes boxed goods under cover; the Ram 1500 takes bulky items in the open bed.
• Business deliveries: the panel van hides cargo from the street, the pickup does not.
• Trailer or tow: the Ram 1500 with all-wheel drive is the one to book.
• Winter driving: all-wheel drive on the pickup helps on snow, though Ontario does not make winter tyres mandatory.
• Longer stay: weekly is the daily rate times six, monthly the daily rate times twenty-one.

Booking and Hand-Over

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the deposit, insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement. Fuel runs full-to-full: the car comes with a full tank and goes back the same way, otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as the agreement states. Visitors from outside Canada staying more than three months need an International Driver's Permit from their own country — it cannot be obtained in Canada. On Highway 407 ETR, charges and penalties are agreed when booking.

Documents and Driving Rules for a Ram Car Rental in Toronto

Ontario's rules for a visiting driver are short, and most of the paperwork question on a Ram car rental in Toronto comes down to two things: which licence you hold and how long you have been here. Since the Ram 1500 and Ram ProMaster 1500 are both full-size vehicles, we also tell renters what the province expects of the car itself before they head out.

Licence, Insurance and the Paperwork in the Car

• Visiting under 3 months: Ontario lets a guest drive on a valid licence from their own province, state or country, so a short stay usually needs nothing extra.
• Visiting over 3 months: an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from your own country is required, and it cannot be obtained in Canada — sort it before you fly.
• Insurance: the driver must carry insurance on the car, and the ownership permit travels in the vehicle as the original or an exact copy.
• Minimum age: Ontario sets the legal minimum driver age at 16, though the practical minimum for a rental is agreed when booking.
• Full-to-full fuel: the Ram arrives with a full tank and comes back full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are set out in the rental agreement.

The IDP point catches people out more often than any other. In our experience, a renter who has been in the province for a season assumes their home licence still covers them, and it does not once the 3 months pass.

Alcohol, Speed and What the Signs Actually Say

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 — the warn range — a first occurrence brings an immediate 7-day licence suspension, an 8-hour course and a C$ 250 fine, while drivers aged 21 and under and holders of G1 or G2 licences must show zero. Highway speed limits are not uniform: on selected stretches of provincial highway the limit is now 110 km/h instead of the previous 100 km/h, covering 1,811 km, mostly the 400-series highways, after a pilot that began on 26.09.2019 on the QEW between Hamilton and St. Catharines, Highway 402 and Highway 417. Everywhere else the posted sign governs, so read it rather than assume — a heavy pickup sits at 110 km/h very differently from a sedan.

Winter Tyres and Crossing into the United States

Winter tyres are not mandatory in Ontario, so the Ram you collect may be on all-seasons; in Quebec they are compulsory from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered there, rental cars included, with a fine of C$ 200–300, and cars plated in other provinces fall outside that rule. Most vehicles rented in Canada may be taken into the United States, but only with permission from the specific rental point — exotic classes and large vans carry restrictions — and driving across without written permission breaches both the agreement and the insurance. Carry your passport at the border.

Whichever way you go, the delivery address, date and time for your Ram are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and anything about tolls, charges or penalties on the road is settled at the same point.

Fuel, Tolls and Cross-Border Trips in a Ram Car Rental in Toronto

Both Ram models on this page run on petrol, and the fuel rule is simple: the car comes with a full tank and goes back with a full tank. Anything short of that is settled under the rental agreement, not guessed at the kerb. Regular petrol sat at about C$1.75 a litre in October 2026, so a full tank on the Ram 1500 is a real line in your budget — fill up before you return rather than on the airport approach, where prices run higher.

Filling Up Before You Hand the Ram Back

• Fuel type: both the Ram 1500 and the Ram ProMaster 1500 take regular petrol, 3.6 L engines in each, so one pump works for either.
• Full-to-full rule: the Ram leaves with a full tank and must come back full; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• No other option: a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty is not offered on this site, so plan the last fill-up into your route.
• Diesel is not for these vans: diesel stood at C$2.61 a litre on 22.10.2026, and putting it in a petrol Ram is a mechanical problem, not a cheap one.

Tolls on Highway 407 ETR

Highway 407 ETR is a toll road, and it has no booths — the charge is recorded electronically. For light vehicles the 2026 rate runs from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ per kilometre depending on the zone and the time you enter, plus a C$1 trip toll charge. Without a transponder, camera charges apply at C$5.30 per trip and a C$5 monthly account fee. Who covers tolls, congestion charges and any penalty notice on a hired car is agreed when booking — settle it with the manager before you set off, because a camera charge can land weeks after the van is back.

Crossing into the United States

Most vehicles hired in Canada can be taken across the border, but only with permission from the specific pickup point, and the restriction usually falls on larger vans and specialist classes. Without written permission the trip breaches the agreement and the insurance behind it, so ask before you load the ProMaster for a cross-border run. Carry your passport at the border. In Ontario winter tyres are not mandatory, though Quebec requires them from 1 December to 15 March for Quebec-registered vehicles — a rule that does not touch cars plated elsewhere. If your route heads that way in winter, ask the manager what the van is fitted with before you commit.

Long-Stay Ram Car Rental in Toronto for Weekly and Monthly Bookings

A Ram booked by the week or the month changes the arithmetic of a move or a contract job, and the two multipliers we use are fixed: weekly is the daily rate times six, monthly the daily rate times twenty-one. On the Ram 1500 that puts a week of hauling at C$ 816 and a month at C$ 2,856; the Ram ProMaster 1500 runs C$ 1,020 a week and C$ 3,570 a month.

What a Long Booking Actually Buys

• Weekly rate: six times the daily rate, so a seven-day booking is priced on six days of hire rather than seven.
• Monthly rate: twenty-one times the daily rate, which is the figure to compare against a stack of separate daily bookings.
• Ram 1500: C$ 136 a day, C$ 816 a week, C$ 2,856 a month — the pickup is the cheaper line of the two.
• Ram ProMaster 1500: C$ 170 a day, C$ 1,020 a week, C$ 3,570 a month — the closed van costs more per day and per month alike.
• Fuel stays full-to-full: a long booking does not change the tank rule, and the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee are set out in the rental agreement.

Renovation crews and courier rounds are where the monthly figure earns its keep, because a single contract often outlasts a week but not a full calendar month.

Booking a Month Around a Contract

• Fix the dates first: the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and a month-long slot needs that conversation earlier than a weekend one.
• Match the body to the whole job: a month of parcel drops suits the ProMaster 1500, a month of site clearance suits the Ram 1500.
• Plan the fuel stops: regular petrol sat at about C$1.75 a litre in October 2026, and a month of daily driving makes that a running cost worth tracking.
• Tolls on repeat routes: if the contract sits near Highway 407 ETR, the 2026 light-vehicle rate of 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ a kilometre plus a C$1 trip toll charge adds up over thirty days.
• Ask about the winter fit: Ontario does not require winter tyres, so confirm what the truck or van is riding on if the booking runs into the cold months.

Who covers tolls, congestion charges and penalty notices on a hired vehicle is agreed when booking, so settle it before a month of camera charges starts arriving.

Returning Your Ram Car Rental in Toronto with Fuel and Condition

The hand-back on a Ram car rental in Toronto is short if the tank is full and the load bay is empty, and the one rule that costs money is the fuel level. The car comes clean with a full tank and must go back the same way; anything short of full is charged as the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee under the rental agreement.

The Hand-Back Checklist

• Tank full: refuel before the return address, not on the way to it — the last stretch is where the level drops below full.
• Load bay empty: clear the bed of the Ram 1500 and the panel body of the ProMaster 1500, including straps, pallets and loose soil.
• Same address: the return point is the one agreed with the manager when the booking was fixed, so confirm it rather than assume.
• Time agreed: the date and time of the hand-back are set in the same conversation as the delivery.
• Agreement to hand: the deposit, insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, so read the return clause before the keys change hands.

In our experience the fuel level is what catches people, not the condition — a van that comes back clean but three-quarters full still triggers the refuelling charge.

Where the Ram Goes Back

The return address is agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and it does not have to match the delivery point. A crew that collects the Ram 1500 in Scarborough and finishes a job in Mississauga can arrange the hand-back at the second address in the same booking conversation. What the site does not promise is a return outside the delivery area — anything beyond Union Station, Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough, Vaughan and the three airports is arranged case by case. Say where the job ends when you book, not on the last morning, because a changed address afterwards may fall outside what was agreed.

Common Mistakes on a Ram Car Rental in Toronto

Most problems on a Ram reservation come from treating a full-size pickup or panel van like a sedan, and the fixes are cheap if they happen before the reservation is fixed. The list below covers what we see most often across the two models.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Booking by badge, not by load: the Ram 1500 and the Ram ProMaster 1500 do different jobs, and the body should follow the cargo rather than the name.
• Assuming a crew fits: the ProMaster 1500 seats two, so a three-person moving team needs a second vehicle or a different plan.
• Loading at the tailgate: weight at the back edge of the Ram 1500 bed changes how the truck handles, especially unloaded on snow.
• Leaving the tank short: the full-to-full rule is the single most common charge at hand-back.
• Skipping the toll question: charges on Highway 407 ETR and who covers them are agreed when booking, not afterwards.
• Assuming a cross-border run is covered: most vehicles hired in Canada may go into the United States, but only with permission from the specific pickup point.
• Forgetting the IDP: a visitor from another country staying more than 3 months needs an International Driver's Permit from their own country, and it cannot be obtained in Canada.

The pickup bed is the other quiet trap — it is shorter than most people picture, so measure the load against it before the booking is fixed rather than at the kerb with a sofa halfway in.
