Toronto mixes urban sophistication with waterfront access and green spaces throughout the city. Sports fans catch games at world-class venues, while culture seekers find galleries and historic districts around seemingly every corner.

Rent the perfect car
Hockey Hall of Fame
Canada’s national sport is celebrated at its most iconic shrine, located in downtown Toronto at Brookfield Place. Interactive exhibits let visitors test their skills against virtual goalies, while the trophy room houses the Stanley Cup and honors generations of hockey legends. Even visitors unfamiliar with the sport find themselves drawn to the passion that defines Canadian winters. The Hall’s location near Union Station makes it an easy stop before or after exploring the waterfront.
Distillery District
Victorian-era brick buildings now house some of Toronto’s best galleries, boutiques, and restaurants in this pedestrian-only quarter. The cobblestone streets once supported whiskey production, but today they showcase local artists and craftspeople. Weekend markets fill the courtyards, while patios overflow during summer evenings. The entire district preserves industrial architecture from the 1800s while creating a space where contemporary culture thrives.
Toronto Island Park
A short ferry ride across the harbor delivers you to car-free islands with beaches, bike paths, and the best skyline views in the city. Families rent kayaks or paddleboards, while others simply spread blankets on the sand at Centre Island Beach. The islands offer a quick reset from urban intensity without requiring a long drive. Return ferries run regularly, making this an easy half-day adventure.

Really nice car and the easy pick up. I will def rent a car with them again in the future.
I had the best time with the Jaguar F type. Everything about the car was beautiful, the engine, the look of it,etc. I took it to a wedding and although I wasn’t the one getting married, everyone thought so due to this car. Pick up and drop offwas very smooth and Damon provided clear instructions via turo. If anyone stumbles across the car, I’d highly recommend renting this bad boy out.
Anish was an excellent host—kind, helpful, and very considerate. He answered our questions, helped us with local traffic information, and even left snacks for our road trip, which was such a thoughtful touch. The car was very clean, well maintained, comfortable, and in excellent condition. Communication was great throughout the rental. I would definitely rent from Anish again and highly recommend him. Thank you!
“Really happy with this rental. I booked the BMW 5 Series 2022 for a few days and it exceeded what I expected for the price. The car itself was spotless inside and out, smelled brand new, and drove smoothly the whole time no weird noises, no warning lights, nothing to worry about. You could tell it had been well maintained. Nice little touch too the interior had moon/star lights on the roof, which made the ride feel even more premium at night. Pickup was super easy. The car was in a parking garage, so it was simple to find with no confusion or wasted time looking around. The handoff itself was smooth and quick, and checking in/out of the trip was just as easy no hassle at all on either end. The host was also great to deal with responsive, easygoing, and low stress to communicate with throughout. For a leisure trip, this was exactly what I needed. Comfortable seats, great handling, and it felt like a premium ride the whole time.
I had an outstanding experience renting a car, and I have to give a huge thank you to Khalil for making the entire process so easy and enjoyable. From the moment I arrived, Khalil was welcoming, professional, and genuinely focused on making sure I had the best experience possible. He took the time to explain all of my rental options, answered every question clearly, and made sure I understood the rental agreement without feeling rushed. The entire pickup process was smooth, efficient, and hassle-free. Khalil also helped me choose the perfect vehicle for my needs, and the car was spotless, well-maintained, and ready to go when I arrived. What really stood out was Khalil's exceptional customer service. He was friendly, patient, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of. It's rare to find someone who is so dedicated to providing such a high level of service. He made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel simple and straightforward. Returning the vehicle was just as easy, and the entire rental experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Thanks to Khalil, I felt valued as a customer and confident that I was in good hands throughout the process. I highly recommend renting from this location, especially if you have the opportunity to work with Khalil. His professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellent customer service truly set him apart. I'll definitely be returning for my future car rental needs and will gladly recommend Khalil to my family and friends. Thank you again for such an amazing experience!
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.
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.
The car was excellent and offered great value for the price. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout our rental experience. We really enjoyed our trip and were very satisfied with the service. Thank you very much for making our experience so pleasant. We would be happy to recommend your company to others and look forward to renting from you again in the future.

Rental car pickup locations throughout Toronto
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
Landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport puts you about 30 minutes from downtown Toronto when traffic cooperates. Canada’s busiest airport handles international arrivals efficiently, but you can bypass the airport car rental counter entirely by arranging a Turo pickup. Meet your vehicle at the terminal curb or a nearby lot, sorting out all the details through the app. Grab your bags and you’re rolling toward the Distillery District or lakefront attractions without the usual rental desk hassles.
Downtown Toronto
Picking up your rental in the heart of the city puts you steps from the Hockey Hall of Fame, Union Station, and the Financial District. This area gives you immediate access to Toronto’s best restaurants, the PATH underground walkways, and the waterfront trail. You can grab coffee on King Street, explore the St. Lawrence Market, then head out to High Park or the beaches without backtracking across the city. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport also sits close by on the waterfront.
Yonge Street Corridor
Toronto’s longest street runs straight through the city’s commercial heart, connecting downtown to North York and beyond. Arranging pickup along this corridor positions you near the University of Toronto campus, the Eaton Centre shopping hub, and quick access to Highway 401. You are also well-placed between Toronto’s urban attractions and routes heading north toward cottage country if you decide to venture further.
Top tips for renting a car in Toronto
A car rental in Toronto opens up Southern Ontario beyond the city limits. Niagara Falls sits less than two hours away, while wine country and charming lakeside towns dot the region in every direction. You could even make a run to Ottawa or venture up to Muskoka’s cottage country for a longer excursion. Having your own vehicle unlocks countless possibilities.
Thrilled to make the most of your Toronto visit? Here are some local tips to help you explore the city and the surrounding region.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Toronto?
Toronto maintains excellent road infrastructure, and traffic flows reasonably well outside of rush hour. Speed limits sit at 30 km/h on local streets and 50 km/h on arterial roads, while highways typically run 100–110 km/h. Remember that Canadian speed limits are posted in kilometres per hour, not miles per hour. Consequently, 50 km/h translates to about 30 mph, and 100 km/h equals roughly 60 mph. When in doubt, slow down a bit and specifically check the km/h markings on your vehicle’s speedometer.
When the Raptors or Maple Leafs play at Scotiabank Arena, or during summer festivals in the Distillery District, expect heavy traffic. Downtown streets also see more pedestrian activity than many US cities, so stay alert at crosswalks or near sidewalks.
Winter brings snow that can create slippery conditions and reduced visibility. Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario occasionally dumps several inches in a short period. If you’re visiting between November and March and not used to winter driving, give yourself extra time and reduce speed when roads look wet or white. Toronto’s snow removal crews work efficiently, but side streets take longer to clear than major routes. Consider renting an AWD or 4WD SUV on Turo if you might need to drive in these conditions.
What is parking like in Toronto?
Downtown Toronto offers numerous municipal parking garages and surface lots operated by Green P, the city’s parking authority. Street parking runs on meters and pay-and-display machines throughout the core. Most attractions around the Distillery District, Hockey Hall of Fame, and waterfront sit within walking distance once you park. For extended stays near the lake or when exploring neighbourhoods like Kensington Market, look for Green P lots that offer full-day rates for paid parking.
Are there toll roads in Toronto?
Most roads in and around Toronto are toll-free, including the Gardiner Expressway along the waterfront and Highway 401 across the north of the city. Highway 407 ETR is a toll route across the north of the Greater Toronto Area, so check your route before you go.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Toronto?
Downtown Toronto, the major highway corridors, and areas near the university all have gas stations with major brands and long operating hours. Before heading into more remote parts of Ontario or rural cottage country, keep in mind that fuel stops thin out considerably. Filling up before you leave the Greater Toronto Area makes sense for longer excursions.
Electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid drivers will encounter robust charging infrastructure throughout the city. Toronto has hundreds of public charging stations within its city limits. Both Level 2 and DC fast charging options continue to expand annually. The broader Southern Ontario region offers solid EV infrastructure as well. For trips into rural areas or heading north toward Muskoka, though, you will want to plan your charging stops since stations become less common outside urban centres.
Do I need to rent a car in Toronto?
Downtown, the waterfront, and areas around the university sit within comfortable walking distance of each other. The TTC subway system covers the city well with three major lines, plus streetcars and buses that reach most neighbourhoods. Overnight Blue Night Network buses operate on major routes when the subway closes.
If you wish to explore places like the Toronto Islands, High Park, or neighbourhoods beyond the subway lines, public transportation gets you there but adds major travel time. For destinations outside the city or day trips to Niagara Falls, you will absolutely need a car. Especially if you don’t plan to stay in downtown, a rental vehicle pays off in convenience, time to destination, scheduling freedom, and access to more Toronto attractions.

What insurance and protection plan options does Turo offer in Toronto?

Is there unlimited mileage car rental in Toronto 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 I rent in Toronto?
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 renting in Toronto?
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.

You’ll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so longer trips stretch your budget further. Toronto’s Turo selection offers vehicles that are great for everything from downtown exploration to Ontario road trips. Check out these options based on your plans:
Compact cars: A Honda Civic, Mazda3, or Volkswagen Golf navigates tight city streets and squeezes into parking spots other vehicles can’t easily handle. Excellent fuel economy makes these ideal for urban adventures and frequent stops.

Sedans: A Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, or Mazda6 provides comfortable highway cruising for drives to Niagara Falls or cottage country. Spacious trunks accommodate luggage while maintaining smooth rides over longer distances.
Premium cars: A BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, or Mercedes C-Class elevates your Toronto experience with refined interiors and responsive handling. Luxury cars match the sophistication of the city’s upscale dining scene and cultural venues.
