Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by supplier (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some companies in Canada may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Markham car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Rules can change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest way to travel.
You'll be asked for some documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
If you haven't driven before in Canada, be aware that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Canada is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.
Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
You'll be using the Canadian dollar (CAD) for everyday expenses here. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cash and cards so you're covered for every situation.
English is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.
