Rent the perfect car
Spend a day in nature in Gatineau Park
The name "park" may be misleading. If you're thinking of a small urban oasis, think again. Gatineau Park is a sprawling stretch of wilderness with lakeside beaches and over 170 km of hiking trails to explore. Follow the family-friendly Carbide Willson Ruins Trail to see scenic waterfalls and intriguing ruins.
Enjoy the buzz of nightlife on Laval Street
In the summer months, Laval Street becomes a lively pedestrian-only zone, so park your car and head on down. Stroll beneath the colourful umbrellas that hang overhead, creating an open-air art display. Then grab a table at one of the many restaurants or pubs and enjoy some of Gatineau’s best food and drink.
Discover the Canadian Museum of History
Gatineau is home to one of the best museums in Canada, covering the history of the First Nations, the European settlers and the young nation. Gaze in awe at the collection of Pacific Northwest totem poles. Don’t forget your camera. Outside the museum, you’ll find some spectacular views of Ottawa’s Parliament Hill.

Top tips for renting a car in Gatineau
Driving in a new city can feel unfamiliar at first, but there’s no need to worry. With a few simple tips, you’ll be navigating the streets of Gatineau like a pro.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Gatineau?
Driving in Gatineau follows standard Quebec road rules: you’ll need a valid driver’s licence, seat belts are mandatory and using a mobile phone without a hands-free system is prohibited. Speed limits are posted in kilometres per hour and generally range from 50 km/h in urban areas to 100 km/h on highways.
Unlike in Ontario, turning right on a red light is legal in Quebec unless signage says otherwise. Keep in mind that road signs in Gatineau are in French, so brushing up on basic vocabulary can help you feel more confident behind the wheel.
What is parking like in Gatineau?
Gatineau has several large parking lots in the city centre, making it easy to park your rental car near shops, museums and restaurants. On-street parking is usually paid from 7 am to 5 pm on weekdays, and free during evenings and weekends. Overnight parking is not allowed from November 15 to April 1, so always check the signs to avoid fines.
Are there toll roads in Gatineau?
No. The nearest toll roads are around the city of Montreal, with none in or near Gatineau. The interprovincial bridges that connect Gatineau to Ottawa are free to use, so you can drive between the two cities in your rental car as often as you like without paying extra.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Gatineau?
Yes, Gatineau has a good network of gas stations and EV chargers. You’ll find fuel stations throughout the city, especially near major roads and in commercial areas. Most gas stations sell regular, mid-grade and premium fuel, and many also have diesel pumps.
Quebec also has the highest number of EV charging stations in Canada. Around Gatineau, you’ll find a mix of Level 2 standard chargers and Level 3 fast-charging points at public car parks, shopping centres and major intersections.
Do I need to rent a car in Gatineau?
It's definitely a good idea to rent a car in Gatineau, particularly if you’re planning to travel beyond the city. Gatineau doesn’t have its own train station, so travellers heading to other cities usually need to take a bus into Ottawa before boarding a train. Having your own car saves time and hassle by letting you skip the transfers and travel directly on your own schedule.
