We had an excellent experience renting this truck for our vacation. The vehicle was clean, reliable, and exactly as described. It drove great the entire trip and made traveling much more comfortable. The owner was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process. Pickup and drop-off were smooth and convenient. We would definitely rent this truck again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable vehicle for a trip.
Clint was an outstanding host from start to finish! The entire rental process was incredibly easy, smooth, and stress-free. He was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure everything was clear and convenient throughout the trip. The truck itself was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was spotless when I picked it up and performed flawlessly the entire time. I took it on a longer trip and had absolutely zero issues. The ride was comfortable, reliable, and handled everything I needed with ease. If you’re looking for a five-star experience all around, book with this host!!! I will absolutely rent from him again in the future! Thank you!!
The option of Renting this Nissan Frontier pick up truck appeared at first glance like an “anxiety-reducing opportunity”, and here’s the reason why: -Pretty much all of the other trucks of the same type (with the oversized compartment in the back) are advertising for over $200 at the minimum, and quite often for just 24 hours. -In addition to the relief I felt as I noticed that this one was reasonably priced, the pick up location came as an unexpected bonus. Basically, there are a great number of car dealerships, most if not all, located one next to the other, occupying about a mile-long segment of the main road connecting Colma and Daly City called Serramonte Blvd. Thus, after dropping my car at the Volkswagen dealership on Serramonte blvd, being able to access this rental, located only about a mile away was a pleasant surprise. Especially when you combine that with the affordable price. - Lastly, the communication with the truck owner was easy and the details provided were quite thorough; which altogether made for an “anxiety-reducing” experience overall😀👍🙏. Thank you again for making the rental process of your Frontier, as simple and stress-free as it can be. Kel F, PharmD
Rental process was very easy. I had the car dropped off and picked up from my house with no issues. Vehicle was super clean! Will absolutely rent from again!!!
Great vehicle. Super clean and comfortable. Super responsive host. Was available on time. Would recommend to anybody looking to rent a truck. Will use again in the future
Truck rental again was great, very clean and comfortable, will do business again in future, thank you.
Tian was great. He helped guide us throughout the whole rental process. The car has amazing FSD. I would highly recommend for roadtrips. Would rent again from him
This truck is awesome. It has a super strong and smooth running engine. All the working areas of the truck such as the tie downs in the bed are in great condition, which was super important for me. 👍👍 used for hauling machinery. The bed is in good shape not torn up like most rental trucks. Made it easy to sweep out. You will love driving this truck if visibility is important to you, it’s a lot better than a comparable sized van lol. While trucking around 😎 I loved the sound system, worked great with charging my phone and playing music. The check in and experience with Nesha was excellent. The price was significantly better and I enjoyed this truck much more than any truck I’ve gotten from THD, Lowes or Enterprise and this year was a BIG YEAR for trucks and vans ✌️
Amazing truck, flawless and very reasonable price. Just keep in mind it's rear wheel drive so not best for snowy conditions! But otherwise awesome car!
We’ve now rented for three straight months from Broden, choosing multiple vehicles. He has always been extremely responsive and made our experience smooth. He has some of the best vehicles available and at a very reasonable price. We tried to rent from another listing this past week after returning our last vehicle to Broden, and immediately had to contact Turo to have them cancel the reservation due to major mechanical issues. Broden keeps up on his mechanical services, that added Rocket Car Wash unlimited pass is a really nice bonus, and pickup and drop off are so convenient. We just booked our 4th month and 3rd vehicle today with Broden.
Great truck rental experience! The vehicle was clean, reliable, and easy to drive. The host is easy to talk to and made pickup/drop-off smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!
Elio’s truck was perfect and he was responsive throughout the rental process. He helped provide accurate pick up and drop off directions and the process was smooth throughout. Thank you!

Things to do and places to see in Montreal
Montreal offers incredible attractions easily accessible by truck, from the historic cobblestone streets of Old Montreal to the bustling Jean-Talon Market. You can drive to Mount Royal Park for panoramic city views, explore the Underground City's vast network, or visit the iconic Notre-Dame Basilica. Your rental truck provides the flexibility to transport purchases from local markets, move between distant neighbourhoods like Westmount and Hochelaga, and carry equipment for outdoor activities along the St. Lawrence River. The city's well-maintained roads and generous parking spaces in many areas make truck navigation straightforward for visitors.
Old Montreal historic district exploration
Old Montreal transports you back centuries with its preserved 17th-century architecture and European atmosphere. You'll find several parking areas around the district's perimeter where you can safely leave your rental truck before exploring on foot. The area sits along the St. Lawrence River, offering easy access from major Montreal routes, and your rental truck allows you to transport any antiques or local crafts you discover in the charming boutiques.
Jean-Talon Market local food discoveries
Jean-Talon Market ranks among North America's largest public markets, showcasing Quebec's finest local produce and artisanal goods. Your rental truck proves invaluable here, allowing you to load up on fresh maple syrup, local cheeses, and seasonal produce without worrying about carrying capacity. The market provides convenient parking areas designed for larger vehicles, and you'll appreciate the extra cargo space when exploring this foodie paradise in Montreal's Little Italy neighbourhood.
Mount Royal Park scenic overlooks
Mount Royal Park offers Montreal's most spectacular city views from its summit, accessible via winding roads that accommodate truck traffic. You can drive partway up the mountain and use designated parking areas before hiking to the Kondiaronk Belvedere lookout. Your rental truck handles the park's gentle inclines easily, and the extra space proves useful for carrying picnic supplies or outdoor gear for exploring this Frederick Law Olmsted-designed green space.
How to get to Montreal
You can reach Montreal through several transportation options:
• By plane: Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport serves the city with connections across Canada and internationally
• By train: VIA Rail connects Montreal to Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, and other major Canadian destinations

Top tips for renting a truck in Montreal
Book your truck rental early on Turo to secure the best vehicle for your Montreal needs, whether you're moving apartments or transporting large purchases. Look for trucks with features like backup cameras for navigating Montreal's narrow streets, all-wheel drive for Quebec winter conditions, and keyless entry for convenience during frequent stops. Consider cargo capacity based on your planned activities — local markets and furniture shopping require different truck sizes. Montreal's parking regulations vary by neighbourhood, so choose a truck size that fits standard parking spaces while meeting your hauling requirements.

Frequently asked questions in Montreal
Why rent a truck in Montreal?
Montreal truck rentals offer exceptional versatility for moving furniture, hauling construction materials, or transporting large cargo throughout Quebec's largest city. These vehicles provide the payload capacity and towing capability that regular cars simply cannot match, making them essential for home renovations, business deliveries, or relocating within the Montreal area. Pickup truck rentals in Montreal give you the freedom to tackle projects that would otherwise require multiple trips or professional moving services.
What should I expect when driving a truck versus a car?
Rental truck vehicles sit higher than standard cars, providing better visibility of Montreal traffic but requiring more careful attention to overhead clearances in parking garages and underpasses. The longer wheelbase and increased weight mean wider turning radiuses and longer braking distances compared to car rentals. Pickup trucks also have different acceleration characteristics due to their robust engines designed for hauling cargo rather than quick city driving.
How do I park a large truck in Montreal?
Montreal parking requires extra planning with truck rentals due to their extended length and height compared to standard vehicles. Many downtown Montreal parking structures have height restrictions, so always check clearance signs before entering underground facilities. Street parking often works better for trucks, but be mindful of Quebec's parking regulations and ensure you're not blocking traffic lanes or bike paths common throughout the city.
How do I properly distribute weight in a truck?
Load cargo toward the front of the truck bed, keeping heavier items closest to the cab to maintain proper weight distribution and vehicle stability. Secure all items with tie-downs or cargo nets to prevent shifting during Montreal's stop-and-go traffic or when navigating Quebec's varied terrain. Never exceed the payload capacity listed in your rental truck's specifications, as this can affect braking performance and overall vehicle handling.
What safety features do modern trucks offer?
Contemporary pickup truck rentals typically include advanced braking systems, stability control, and multiple airbags designed to protect occupants during various collision scenarios. Many modern trucks feature backup cameras and parking sensors, which prove invaluable when manoeuvring in tight Montreal spaces or busy Quebec loading zones. Electronic stability systems help maintain control when hauling heavy cargo or navigating challenging weather conditions common in the Montreal region.
Where are the best truck road trip destinations from Montreal?
Quebec's Laurentian Mountains offer spectacular scenery accessible via truck hire, with numerous camping areas and outdoor recreation sites that benefit from a vehicle's cargo capacity. The Eastern Townships provide excellent destinations for hauling recreational equipment like kayaks, bikes, or camping gear to Quebec's many provincial parks. Montreal's proximity to the St. Lawrence River region makes truck rentals ideal for accessing fishing spots, cottage areas, and seasonal properties throughout the province.
