Top tips for renting a car in Sudbury


A few local pointers help your rental car experience feel effortless from the very first turn of the wheel, covering road rules, parking, fuel, and what to expect when driving in Sudbury.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Sudbury?


Speed limits in Sudbury are typically 50 km/h on city streets, with lower limits in residential and school zones. Highway 17, part of the Trans-Canada Highway, runs through the city and connects Sudbury with destinations across Northern Ontario, while Highway 144 provides access to communities farther north. As throughout Ontario, seatbelts are mandatory, and distracted driving laws are strictly enforced.


Traffic in Sudbury is generally light compared with larger Ontario cities, though delays can occur on major roads such as Kingsway and Lasalle Boulevard during peak commuting periods. Construction projects may also affect travel times, particularly during the warmer months.


Winter driving conditions are an important consideration in Sudbury. Snowfall is common from late fall through early spring, and icy road conditions can develop quickly during colder weather. While winter tires are not required throughout Ontario, they are widely recommended in Northern Ontario. Before longer trips, check weather forecasts and road conditions, and allow extra travel time when conditions are poor.


What is parking like in Sudbury?


Downtown Sudbury offers a mix of metered street parking, public lots, and parkades, with the Tom Davies Square garage and the Elm Place garage two of the more central options. Pay-by-plate machines and the HotSpot app handle most transactions. The overnight parking ban runs from December 1 to March 31 between midnight and 7 AM to allow snow clearing on every street.


Outside downtown, parking is generally easy. Major attractions like Science North, Dynamic Earth, and Bell Park offer free lots with plenty of room for standard SUVs, cargo vans, and premium luxury SUVs.


Are there toll roads in Sudbury?


There are no toll roads in or around Sudbury. Highway 17, Highway 144, and every route through Northern Ontario are free to drive. The closest tolled route is Highway 407 around the Greater Toronto Area, well to the south.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Sudbury?


Gas stations are plentiful in Sudbury, with Petro-Canada, Esso, Shell, and Pioneer locations along Highway 17, the Kingsway, Lasalle Boulevard, and Regent Street. Fill up before heading north toward Timmins or west along Highway 17, as stations thin out fast once you leave the city limits. The average price of fuel in Sudbury tracks close to the Ontario average.


For EV drivers, Sudbury has a growing charging network. Tesla Superchargers operate at the Cambrian Mall and Travelodge, with Petro-Canada Electric Highway and FLO stations spread through downtown and along the Trans-Canada Highway. The network is solid enough for an electric luxury sedan or any EV to handle daily city driving comfortably. Hours of operation for the public chargers run 24/7 at most sites.


Do I need to rent a car in Sudbury?


For most visitors, yes. Sudbury Transit serves the city, but many of Northern Ontario's most popular destinations are easiest to reach by car.


Attractions such as Killarney Provincial Park, Onaping Falls, Manitoulin Island, and the hundreds of lakes surrounding Greater Sudbury sit well beyond the city's public transit network. Having a vehicle provides the flexibility to explore the region's outdoor attractions, scenic drives, and nearby communities on your own schedule.

Is there long term car rental on Turo?

Yes there is — whether you want to rent a car for three days, three months, or even longer, you can on Turo. You’ll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.
