How delivery works for Car rental in Scarborough, Toronto

With Rent-Trip, a car rental in Scarborough, Toronto, the car comes to you: we deliver to any address in the delivery area and fix the address, date and time with a manager before the booking is confirmed.

Where we deliver a rental car in Scarborough and across Toronto

We deliver to any address in Toronto, including Scarborough, and to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) and John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM).

Pearson alone handled 47,300,000 passengers in 2025, and the drive from it into the city runs about 36 km by road, roughly 38 minutes without traffic. Hamilton is the long one: 86.7 km and about 73 minutes.

Delivery outside these places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask the manager before you plan the route.

Booking a car rental in Scarborough with a manager

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. That conversation is where the practical details belong, so bring them up in it rather than at hand-over:

• Date and time: the window you need the car in, agreed in advance rather than assumed.
• Minimum rental age and young-driver surcharge: agreed when booking, not published as a fixed rule.
• Cards accepted and territory limit: also agreed when booking; ask if you plan to cross into the United States.

Fuel, condition and the hand-over

The car comes clean with a full tank, and it goes back the same way: full-to-full. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. No other fuel option — a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty — is offered on the site.

Plan the last stop into the route home and the hand-over stays uneventful.

Choosing a car for your Scarborough car rental

165 cars, 15 classes and 39 brands sit on this page, so the real question is not whether there is a vehicle for your trip but which one fits it.

Seats, fuel and transmission in our fleet

• Five seats: 100 of the 165 cars carry five people — the default shape of a booking for a couple or a small family.
• Seven and eight seats: 14 cars take seven and 10 take eight, from the Acura MDX and Mitsubishi Outlander up to the Honda Odyssey and Kia Carnival.
• Fuel: 153 cars run on petrol, 7 are hybrids and 5 are electric, including the Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, Polestar 2, Porsche Taycan and Ford Mustang Mach-E.
• Transmission: 164 cars are automatic and exactly one is manual, so anyone set on a stick shift should say so early.
• Twelve seats: a single Ford Transit Passenger Van is the only 12-seat vehicle here.

From an economy runabout to an exotic for the weekend

The cheapest car on this page is the Mitsubishi Mirage at C$ 38 a day; the most expensive is the Ferrari F8 Tributo at C$ 2,599 a day. Between them sit the Toyota Yaris at C$ 50, the Buick Encore at C$ 49, the Toyota Camry at C$ 62 with its hybrid drivetrain, and the Honda Odyssey at C$ 68 for eight people. Match the car to the tightest space you will park in, not to the longest leg of the drive.

Longer trips and weekly car rental in Scarborough

A week or a month behind the wheel changes the maths: longer bookings are priced off the daily rate of the car you choose, so the same Mitsubishi Mirage that suits a weekend errand also sets the floor for a month of driving around Toronto.

Weekly and monthly rates for a Scarborough car rental

Weekly rates start from C$ 228 and monthly rates from C$ 798. Work out the multiplier on two or three shortlisted cars before you commit — a C$ 20 gap in the daily rate becomes a C$ 420 gap across a month.

Day trips from Scarborough in a rental car

Highway 407 ETR is the toll road to know: it has no booths, charges passenger cars from 49.93¢ to 119.21¢ per kilometre by zone and time of entry, adds a C$ 1 trip toll charge, and without a transponder bills a C$ 5.30 camera charge per trip plus a C$ 5 monthly account fee. Who pays tolls and charges is agreed when booking, so raise it before you plan that route.

What to settle before a long booking

• Class and seats: 100 of the 165 cars on this page are five-seaters, so a seven- or eight-seat minivan for a family trip is worth reserving early rather than late.
• Fuel type: 153 cars run on petrol, 7 are hybrid and 5 electric — an electric suits a city-heavy week, a hybrid a long highway run.
• Winter tyres: Ontario does not require them, but Quebec does from 1 December to 15 March for Quebec-registered cars, with a C$ 200–300 fine, so a winter run east needs the question asked.
• Border crossings: most cars rented in Canada can go to the United States with permission from the rental point, and exotic classes and large vans are usually restricted.

Documents and driving rules for a car rental in Scarborough

Licence and paperwork for a car rental in Scarborough

If you are visiting Ontario for less than 3 months, you can drive on a valid driver's licence from your own province, state or country. Stay longer than 3 months and you will need an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from your own country — it cannot be issued in Canada, so arrange it before you fly. The law also requires insurance on the car and the original or an exact copy of the ownership permit kept in the vehicle. The minimum age to drive in Ontario is 16.

What to settle when you book a car rental in Scarborough

• Minimum rental age: the age floor for our cars is agreed with a manager when booking, so confirm it before you pay.
• Young-driver surcharge: the amount and the age it applies to are set out in the rental agreement, not on this page.
• Territory limit: whether the car may cross into another province or country is agreed when booking — say so early if your route leaves Ontario.

Alcohol, speed and the rules of the road

Ontario treats alcohol by blood level: from 0.08 (80 mg per 100 ml of blood) it is a criminal offence. 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, and drivers aged 21 or under, or holding G1/G2 licences, must show zero.

Winter tyres and crossing the border

Winter tyres are not compulsory in Ontario, but they are compulsory in Quebec from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered there, including rental cars, with fines of C$200–300; cars plated in other provinces fall outside that rule. Most cars rented in Canada can be taken into the United States, but only with permission from the rental location, and restrictions apply to some classes, exotic cars and large vans among them. Driving across without written permission breaks the agreement and the insurance, and you will need your passport at the border.

What is included in a Scarborough car rental

Everything else — deposit, insurance excess, delivery charges and any discount — is set out in the rental agreement, not on this page.

Fuel, mileage and the state of the car

• Full-to-full fuel: the car is supplied with a full tank and must come back with a full tank; otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
• No other fuel option: a pre-paid tank or full-to-empty arrangement is not offered, so the full-to-full rule is the only one that applies to your booking.
• Clean car, full tank: the vehicle is handed over clean and fuelled, which matters on a short rental when you want to leave straight away rather than hunt for a gas station.

Delivery, dates and what the manager settles

For a car rental in Scarborough, Toronto, we bring the car to any address in the city, Scarborough included, and to the three airports we serve.

The deposit, the insurance excess, delivery charges and any discount are set out in the rental agreement. If you plan to cross into the United States, most cars taken in Canada can go, but only with permission from the rental point, and restrictions apply to some classes — exotic cars and large vans among them — so raise it while the booking is still being arranged. Driving out without written permission breaks the agreement and the insurance.

What the page does not put a number on

The 165 cars on this page run from C$ 38 to C$ 2,599 a day, and the class you pick sets the daily rate that weekly and monthly bookings are calculated from. What sits outside that rate is deliberately left to the agreement: no figure for a deposit, an excess or a delivery charge is quoted here, because those terms are confirmed with you in writing.

Self-drive car rental in Scarborough for every trip

Our fleet of 165 cars covers 15 classes and 39 brands, from a C$ 38-a-day runabout to a C$ 2,599-a-day exotic, so the same booking system serves a short errand in Scarborough and a weekend loop up to Muskoka.

Matching the car to the trip

• Solo or a couple in town: an Economy hatchback such as the Mitsubishi Mirage or Toyota Yaris keeps the footprint small for street parking and tight lots.
• Long highway days: the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Toyota Prius stretch a tank across the 400-series highways, where posted limits reach 110 km/h on selected stretches.
• Group or gear: the Honda Odyssey and Kia Carnival take eight, while the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 handle cargo that will not fit a trunk.
• Special occasion: the Ford Mustang Convertible, Porsche 911 Carrera and Ferrari F8 Tributo span the range for a wedding or a milestone.

Winter, fuel and the rules that shape a booking

Ontario does not require winter tyres, so nothing on this page forces a seasonal swap — but if your trip crosses into Quebec between 1 December and 15 March, that province requires them on Quebec-registered cars, with fines of C$ 200–300. Petrol is around C$ 1.75 a litre in October 2026, and the car leaves with a full tank and comes back full: the full-to-full rule is the only fuel option we offer, and anything else is charged as set out in the rental agreement. Cross-border trips to the United States need written permission from the rental point, and exotic cars and large vans are usually excluded — ask before you plan the route. On Highway 407 ETR there are no booths, and who pays the tolls and charges is agreed when booking.

What to settle before the keys change hands

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the same conversation is the right place for everything the site does not price: the minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge, the cards accepted and the territory limit. Rent-Trip brings the car to any address in Toronto, Scarborough included, and to Pearson, Billy Bishop and Hamilton airports; anything outside that area is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.

Common mistakes with a car rental in Scarborough, Toronto

Leaving the booking details until hand-over

Minimum age and young-driver surcharge: both are agreed when booking, so there is no fixed number to check against on the site.

Fuel, return and the small charges

Our cars leave with a full tank and come back full; a short tank means the missing fuel plus a refuelling service fee, as set out in the rental agreement, and no pre-paid or full-to-empty option exists to sidestep it. Regular petrol stood at about C$ 1.75 a litre in October 2026, so a fill before drop-off is a small, predictable stop — plan it into the last leg of the route. Beyond fuel, every figure that could surprise you — the deposit, the insurance excess, delivery fees and any discount — sits in the rental agreement rather than in a headline, so read it before the keys change hands.

Comparing classes for a car rental in Scarborough, Toronto

The gap between an Economy hatchback and an Exotic supercar is C$ 38 against C$ 2,599 a day, and the useful question is where on that ladder a trip actually belongs.

Where the classes sit against each other

Reading the from-prices alone makes the ladder look tidier than it is.

Everyday classes against the occasion end

• Economy at C$ 38: the Mitsubishi Mirage and Toyota Yaris keep the footprint small for street parking and short errands.
• SUV at C$ 58: the Volkswagen Tiguan brings all-wheel drive and 184 hp, useful once the route leaves the city.
• Premium at C$ 59: the Acura RDX delivers 272 hp and all-wheel drive for a dollar more than that SUV entry point.
• Sports and Convertibles at C$ 116 and C$ 169: the Ford Mustang and its convertible version sit at the accessible end of the occasion group.
