Recent reviews
Anish was a fantastic host, very responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. The car was clean, smelled great, and was in excellent condition. It was easy and comfortable to drive, and the gas consumption is good. The price was also very reasonable for the quality of the car, location and the overall experience. I would definitely recommend renting from Anish. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from him again in the future. Great experience overall!
Great experience from start to finish. The host replied to every message quickly, and the Corolla was clean and in good shape. They delivered and picked up the car at my address right on time, with no issues at all. Would happily rent again!
Really nice car to drive, clean, comfortable, and reliable. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, and he was happy to help with every request I had regarding the reservation. Overall, a great experience and I’d definitely recommend renting from him.
This was simply an amazing experience from start to finish. Kyle is an exquisite host. He met me perfectly on time, and showed me around the car. Functions, controls, features - all of it. He made sure I was fully comfortable before I drove off. He also stayed in touch with me to make sure everything was fine since I was crossing the Canada-US border. The car was simply divine. What a driving machine! Great sound, great handling and the convertible aspect made it the best weekend I’ve had in a long time. Winding roads, pocket rocket at your disposal, and great stopping power for traffic jams. I can’t wait to rent this car again! Thank you again Kyle!
Beautiful rental. I fell in love with. Clean, smooth drive. The owner is also so lovely and replies back so fast. I highly recommend and will come back when I have another time to rent a car.
It was a very enjoyable trip, the car was very nice and clean, the price was reasonable, and the owner was very friendly. Thank you, and of course, I will rent it again someday.
From the first message to the last drop-off, this was a genuinely smooth experience. Communication was quick, clear, and easy throughout the entire rental. Everything was straightforward, and the overall process felt completely stress-free. The car was spotless, comfortable, and ran beautifully. Pickup and drop-off were simple and convenient, making the whole experience even better. The host was absolutely amazing—friendly, helpful, professional, and genuinely made the rental feel easy and enjoyable. It was clear that providing a great experience was a priority, and that really stood out. I appreciated how responsive and accommodating everything was from beginning to end. There were no complications, and everything went exactly as expected. Overall, this was a fantastic rental experience, and I would absolutely rent again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clean, reliable vehicle, excellent communication, and a host who truly goes above and beyond.
Easy Peasy! Great car for our trip. Host was a pleasure to deal with. 5 star service!
Always the best service, trustworthy and best cars to rent! Don’t have to hesitate to book with Simon always!
Great value to rent in downtown toronto. No complaints with what we paid and what we got! Good communication between us and the car owner! (I just feel non sense for someone complaining there is no apple carplay... Like bro you have to check how much you pay and the instructions before you rent right. The owner is a good guy and he is not charging for something crazy right...)
The whole trip went smooth and perfect. No hard to understand instructions. Car was perfect, host communicated everything really well. Would love to book it again for my next trip.
It was a great interaction, and the car was in a good condition. Perfect for three in a day trip 🙂

Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is one of those places that truly lives up to the hype. The sheer power of the cascading water is unforgettable, and the surrounding scenery makes it easy to spend hours taking it all in. There’s more than just the view - walk along the river, take a boat tour into the mist, or explore the nearby parks and attractions. Whether it’s your first time or a return visit, Niagara Falls always feels like a must‑see on any Ontario trip.
CN Tower
The CN Tower is an icon of Toronto’s skyline and one of the best ways to see the city from a whole new perspective. From the observation deck, you’ll get sweeping views of Lake Ontario, the city streets below, and even the distant horizon on a clear day. More than just a lookout, step onto the glass floor for a thrill, or try the EdgeWalk if you’re feeling adventurous. It’s the kind of place that makes you pause, take it all in, and really appreciate the scale of the city.
St. Lawrence Market
St. Lawrence Market is a Toronto landmark that blends history, culture, and incredible food all under one roof. You’ll find fresh produce, local specialties, and plenty of unique bites that show off the city’s diverse flavours. It’s a great place to stroll through, pick up a snack, or grab something for the road before heading out to explore more of Toronto. Simple, easy, and a little slice of local life.

Top tips for renting a car in Ontario
Ontario is filled with natural beauty, sweeping views, and awe-inspiring experiences. You'll want to soak up every minute of your adventure, which is why it's handy to brush up on the province's road rules. Here are our top tips for getting around Ontario stress-free.
What documents and paperwork do you need to rent a car in Ontario?
To rent a car on Turo in Canada, you must create a Turo account, be 23 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. 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. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Ontario?
Driving in Ontario feels familiar if you’re coming from the US, but there are a few key differences. Speeds are measured in kilometres per hour, with most highways capped at 100 km/h - though you’ll notice plenty of drivers going a little faster. Right turns on red lights are generally allowed, except in places like Montreal.
Ontario’s roads are well-maintained, but the weather can change things quickly. In winter, snow and ice can make driving tricky, and even in summer, heavy rain or dense fog can reduce visibility. It’s smart to slow down, leave extra space, and use your headlights when conditions get rough.
Seatbelts are strictly enforced, and large trucks are common on Ontario highways, usually keeping pace with traffic. Driving here is straightforward, but staying aware of the weather and road conditions makes for a safer, smoother trip.
Are there toll roads in Ontario?
Yes, there is one major toll road in Ontario, which is the Highway 407 ETR.
Do I need to rent a car in Ontario?
Yes, we definitely recommend renting a car in Ontario if you want the freedom to really explore. Beyond Toronto and Ottawa’s city centres, the province is full of scenic drives, charming small towns, and natural attractions that are much easier to reach with your own car. You’ll have the flexibility to travel on your own schedule, make spontaneous stops, and see more than what public transit can cover.
A rental car is especially helpful if you’re visiting multiple cities, planning day trips to places like Niagara Falls or Algonquin Park, or carrying extra luggage or equipment. While Toronto and Ottawa have good public transport and ride-share options, having your own car makes it simple to connect city sightseeing with Ontario’s incredible lakes, parks, and countryside.
What occasions can I rent a car for in Ontario?
- Vacation car rental: Turo makes vacation car rental in Ontario simple and flexible. Instead of being limited to a standard fleet, you can choose a car that actually fits your trip - whether it’s a roomy SUV for family road trips, a fun convertible for scenic drives, or something compact for easy city parking. You can meet your host at a convenient location, skip the long rental counter lines, and hit the road on your own schedule. It’s an easy way to explore Ontario’s beaches, parks, small towns, and cities while making your vacation as stress-free as possible.
- Long-term car rental: Looking for a long-term car rental in Ontario? Whether you’re staying for a few weeks or a couple of months, you can find a car that suits your lifestyle - something practical for daily errands, spacious for weekend getaways, or comfortable for longer drives between cities. With flexible pickup and return options, you can avoid the hassle of traditional rental agreements and keep the car for exactly as long as you need it. It’s an easy, cost-effective way to have reliable transportation during an extended stay in Ontario.
- Special occasion car rental: Find the perfect car for a special occasion in Ontario. Whether it’s a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or a weekend getaway, you can choose something stylish, unique, or luxurious to make the day feel even more memorable. Skip the standard rental options and pick a car that matches the moment - from sleek sports cars to elegant sedans or roomy SUVs for family celebrations. With flexible pickup locations and no long counter waits, Turo helps you arrive in style, stress-free.
What rental car types can I find in Ontario?
Whether you want to spin around Ontario in a Volkswagen Jetta, Honda Civic, Kia K4, Audi S4, Tesla Model 3, or a Ford Fusion, Turo has you covered. Vehicle classes available include 4WDs, sedans, and SUVs. Popular makes and models found on Turo include the Nissan Rogue, Dodge Grand Caravan, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Chrysler Grand Caravan, GMC Terrain, Chevrolet Malibu, and the MINI Hardtop.
