How car rental at Union Station works with delivery

Where your car is handed over at Union Station

We deliver to Union Station and to any agreed address in Toronto.

Booking a car rental at Union Station step by step

• Choose the car: pick a class and a model from the 165 cars on this page, from the Mitsubishi Mirage at C$ 38 a day upward.
• Agree the hand-over: the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.
• Confirm the terms: the deposit, the excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, not quoted on the page.
• Sort the extras: the minimum age, the young-driver surcharge and the cards accepted are agreed when booking.

Delivery outside the places listed on this site is arranged case by case and is not promised — ask the manager early if your address sits beyond them.

Other airports are not promised as delivery points, so name yours when you book and the manager will confirm whether it can be arranged.

Choosing a car class for car rental at Union Station

Car rental at Union Station in Toronto spans fifteen classes on this page, from a C$ 38 Economy hatchback to a C$ 2,599 exotic, and the class you pick decides how the trip feels more than the price does. We keep 165 cars here, so the choice is rarely between two options.

Cheapest and most expensive cars on this page

The cheapest car we list is the Mitsubishi Mirage at C$ 38 a day — a 1.2 L, 78 hp Economy hatchback with 5 seats and an automatic gearbox. At the other end sits the Ferrari F8 Tributo at C$ 2,599 a day, one of 14 Exotic cars that also include the Lamborghini Urus, McLaren 720S and Maserati MC20. Between those two poles the page holds 27 Premium cars from C$ 59, 9 Luxury cars from C$ 275 and 15 Sports cars from C$ 116, so a weekend in a BMW M4 Competition or a week in a Mercedes-Benz GLA are both on the same list.

Longer bookings for car rental at Union Station

A week or a month behind the wheel changes the arithmetic of a booking. At Rent-Trip the weekly rate is the daily rate multiplied by six, and the monthly rate is the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one.

Weekly and monthly car rental at Union Station

Weekly car rental at Union Station starts from C$ 228 and monthly car rental at Union Station starts from C$ 798, both calculated from the daily rate of the car you choose. With 165 cars on this page, the multipliers run across the whole fleet: an Economy class car from C$ 38 a day lands at C$ 228 for a week, while an Exotic class car from C$ 1,499 a day reaches C$ 8,994 for the same seven days.

What the rental agreement sets out

• Delivery fees: whether a delivery to Union Station or another address carries a fee is set out in the rental agreement.
• Discounts: long-term terms follow the multipliers above; any further discount is set out in the rental agreement.
• Driver conditions: the minimum age, the young-driver surcharge and the cards accepted are agreed when booking.

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the reservation is confirmed, and that holds for a month-long term exactly as it does for a weekend.

Driving on a foreign licence

Car rental at Union Station in Toronto for trips beyond the city

Tolls and winter tyres on the way

• Highway 407 ETR: a tolled road with no booths, charged by camera; without a transponder the camera charge and the monthly account fee apply, and light-vehicle rates vary by zone and entry time.
• Who pays tolls and penalties: not fixed on this page — it is agreed when booking, so ask before the car is handed over.
• Winter tyres in Ontario: not mandatory; the province does not require them on any vehicle.
• Winter tyres in Quebec: mandatory from 1 December to 15 March for vehicles registered in Quebec, rental cars included, with a fine for non-compliance; cars on plates from other provinces are not covered by the rule.

Fuel and hand-over for car rental at Union Station

We supply the car clean with a full tank, and it comes back full.

Full-to-full fuel rule

The car comes clean with a full tank and is returned full — that is the only fuel arrangement we offer on this page. There is no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty option, so the figure you see at the pump on the way out is the figure you match on the way back. If the tank is short on return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.

Petrol prices around the city

• Diesel: priced higher than regular at the pump, so a diesel model costs noticeably more to run than a petrol one over the same distance.
• Metric system: fuel is sold in litres and distances are posted in kilometres, so the trip computer and the pump speak the same language.

What the rental agreement covers

• Deposit and excess: both are set out in the rental agreement, never quoted as a figure on this page.
• Delivery fees: also set out in the rental agreement, together with the address agreed when booking.
• Fuel shortfall: the missing litres plus a refuelling service fee, charged as the agreement describes.
• Minimum age, young-driver surcharge and cards accepted: these are agreed when booking, not fixed rules of the road.

Why book car rental at Union Station with Rent-Trip

Rent-Trip runs a self-drive service at Union Station in Toronto: we bring the car to you, and the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the reservation is confirmed. Our fleet on this page holds 165 cars across 15 classes, from C$ 38 to C$ 2,599 per day.

The practical difference shows up in the week before you travel. When the car arrives it comes clean with a full tank, and it goes back full: that is the only fuel arrangement we offer, with the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee set out in the rental agreement if the tank comes back short.

What the fleet covers

• SUV and Premium: 31 SUVs and 27 Premium cars, from Volkswagen Tiguan at C$ 58 to the Genesis GV80 at C$ 363.
• Group travel: 7-, 8- and 12-seat options, including the Honda Odyssey and the Ford Transit Passenger Van.
• Longer stays: weekly from C$ 228 and monthly from C$ 798, calculated as daily x 6 and daily x 21.

Two details are worth knowing before you choose. Of the 165 cars, 164 are automatic and exactly one is manual — if you want the manual, say so when booking rather than assuming it will be there.

Delivery outside the places we list is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask early if your address sits at the edge of the city.
