Don’t let the year fool you! This car is in very good condition for a 2013 and runs smoothly. It was delivered clean, with winter tires installed, and the oil change had been done recently. Umar was a pleasure to deal with—responsive, fair, and accommodating when I needed to extend my rental. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from him again!

Things to do and places to see in Cambridge, ON

Nestled in the heart of rural Ontario, Cambridge offers a slower pace of life and the chance to escape from the hustle and bustle of Toronto. Many of its top attractions are ideal for nature lovers. Make the most of a trip to Cambridge with these activities:

Rent the perfect car
Cambridge, ON

Be dazzled at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory

This stunning attraction is home to no fewer than 2,000 brightly coloured free-flying butterflies. As you wander around the facility, spread over 2,300 square metres, you won't know where to look. It's home to more than just butterflies, too. There are also exotic birds to admire.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail

An old abandoned railroad line has been converted into one of Cambridge's top attractions. The Rail Trail runs for 18 kilometres along the Grand River and through the Carolinian forest. Not only popular with cyclists and hikers in summer, but the area also attracts daring cross-country skiers and snowshoers during winter.

Go tubing or rafting on the Grand River

Cambridge may seem like a sleepy town, but it's a great destination for trying some of the most exciting water sports around: tubing and rafting. Several stores near the Grand River offer rental equipment, and some will even provide a guide to lead you on the 8-kilometre journey down the mighty waterway. Tubing is also popular in nearby Elora Gorge.

Wedding car rental

Planning a wedding means thinking through every detail, including how you’ll get to your venue in historic Cambridge.

Whether you’re into fishing, skiing, water sports or mountain biking, sometimes a standard car just won’t cut it. Rent a spacious SUV, a roomy station wagon or a minivan with plenty of space for your gear. With extra cargo room, you can focus on the day ahead, not how to fit everything in.

Top tips for renting a car in Cambridge


Sometimes, it's tough to get behind the wheel of a car rental in a new city. If you're about to drive in Cambridge for the first time, check out these hints and tips for a smoother experience.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Cambridge?


Forget the Ferrari rental. In Cambridge, the default speed limit is 40 km/h, which is lower than in many other parts of Ontario. It drops to just 30 km/h in school zones, so keep an eye out for warning signs. Winter tyres aren’t mandatory, but they’re strongly recommended given Cambridge’s harsh, snowy winters.


What is parking like in Cambridge?


Cambridge has a mix of on-street and off-street parking options for your car, truck or SUV rental. An overnight parking ban is in effect from 2:30 am to 6:00 am. In winter, keep an eye on weather alerts. When a snow event is declared, parking is prohibited on all city streets.


Are there toll roads in Cambridge?


No, there are no toll roads in Cambridge. The nearest toll road, Highway 407 ETR, lies some distance to the north. Motorists who plan to take Highway 407 need to be aware that, while most of the road is free to use, there is a tolled section. Tolls on Highway 407 ETR are charged electronically, with rates varying by time of day and distance travelled.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Cambridge?


Yes, there are. Although Cambridge is a relatively small city, it supports a robust network of gas stations and EV charging points. Local authorities have significantly expanded the EV infrastructure in recent years. Today, you’ll find numerous electric vehicle charging stations offering both Level 2 (standard) and Level 3 (fast) services, so it’s easy to top up your car or EV rental during your visit.


Do I need to rent a car in Cambridge?


Yes, renting a car in Cambridge is highly recommended. The city has limited public transit, so getting around without a vehicle can be difficult without your own car, especially if you’re planning to go on day trips or visit nearby points of interest. A car rental offers greater flexibility and allows you to explore southern Ontario on your own schedule.

Frequently asked questions about Cambridge car rentals

What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car on Turo?

How does car rental insurance work on Turo? 

You don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo. If you do have your own auto insurance policy, the protection plan you select — purchased from Economical Insurance Company in Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec, and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in British Columbia — will supplement your existing coverage.*

What insurance and protection plan options does Turo offer?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance purchased from Economical Insurance Company in Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec, and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in British Columbia — $2,000,000 for all plans.

Can I get car rental discounts on Turo?

On your Account page, make sure you’ve checked the box to receive email notifications, and enable push notifications from the Turo app in your phone settings — we’ll send you occasional promotions, discounts, and deals on car rental.

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.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Cambridge? 

The cost of car rental in Cambridge can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rental in Cambridge, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

What rental car types are there in Cambridge?
