Ottawa

Take a detour into Ontario and take in the sights of downtown Ottawa, less than a 20-minute drive across the river. Countless shops and eateries await, as well as the iconic parliament buildings and Rideau Canal.

Champlain Lookout

Sitting atop the Eardley Escarpment, this vantage point offers a stunning look at the Gatineau Hills, especially in the fall, and is home to some of the most vulnerable wildlife in the area.

Wakefield

Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada 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

What’s the best way to get around Gatineau?

The best and fastest way to get around the Gatineau area is by renting a car on Turo. With a Gatineau car rental, you can explore every location and attraction at your own pace, giving you the ultimate flexibility and convenience. Gatineau is largely car-dependent but offers plenty of cycling paths in both Gatineau Park and the surrounding area. If you prefer cycling, you can enjoy the extensive network of trails. The Société de Transport de l’Outaouais (STO) provides bus service on the Québec side of the river, with OC Transpo serving the Ontario side. Both provide day passes, as well as convenient connections to the entrances of Gatineau Park. While these options are useful, they don't offer the same level of freedom as a Gatineau car rental.

E-scooters and taxis are also available in the area, offering additional transportation options. However, these modes of transport may not be as convenient or flexible as having your own vehicle. If you can't find the perfect Gatineau car rental, consider looking for a car rental in Ottawa or a Montreal car rental as alternatives. Both cities are nearby and offer a wide selection of vehicles on Turo, ensuring you find the perfect match for your travel needs.

How to get to Gatineau from Montreal?

If you’re planning to travel from Montreal to Gatineau, the best way to plan your trip is by renting a car on Turo. By booking a Montreal car rental, you have the flexibility to explore at your own pace and enjoy the scenic journey through Quebec. The drive from Montreal to Gatineau takes about 2 hours, offering picturesque views and the convenience of stopping at various attractions along the way. Begin your adventure by picking up a Montreal airport car rental if you're flying into Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. This allows you to skip the hassle of traditional rental counters and have your vehicle ready nearby upon arrival. With a Montreal car rental, you can choose from a wide range of vehicles to suit your travel needs, whether you need an SUV for extra comfort, a luxury car for a special occasion, or an economical car for a budget-friendly trip.

The most direct route from Montreal to Gatineau is via Autoroute 50, a major highway that takes you through charming towns and beautiful landscapes.
