Rent an electric car
Electric car rental in Canada is the perfect way to see the country without guzzling gasoline. From family road trips to city commutes, an electric vehicle (EV) offers a cleaner, quieter, and often more cost-effective drive. Think of it as the future of driving — except you can rent it today.
With EV rentals available at custom rental locations, you’ll find a variety of vehicles powered by electric motors, from Teslas to compact options that make parking a breeze. Booking online is easy, availability is growing, and you’ll save money on fuel while enjoying the smoothness of an EV’s batteries and in-vehicle software.
Electric car rentals for any occasion
Whether you’re chasing adventure, looking to impress, or just want to try out your next car rental before making the switch, electric vehicles deliver an experience that’s as practical as it is fun.
Family trips without the fuel bill
Load the kids, luggage, and snacks into a spacious EV and head for the open road. With access to Tesla Superchargers and plenty of charging stations in public or private locations, you’ll keep the battery charge topped up while avoiding the rising costs of gasoline-powered vehicles.
Business trips that impress
Arriving at a meeting in a sleek Tesla EV or similar vehicle shows you’re forward-thinking and detail-driven. These cars aren’t just about saving on dollars — they’re about making a statement. Plus, with plenty of charging stations dotted across the country, you'll never be caught short on charge when renting an EV, either.
Weekend getaways
Cruise into your vacation destination with style, comfort, and a clear conscience. Whether you’re exploring the city or hitting scenic routes, an EV rental makes every drive smooth. Between the breeze, the quiet ride, and the knowledge you’re reducing emissions, it’s a great way to make memories that feel good in every sense.

Chevrolet Bolt EV

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?
To rent a car on Turo in Canada, you must be 23 or older.
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.
