Top tips for renting a car in Toronto
Though Toronto is a bustling city with great public transportation options, many visitors to the area choose to rent a car for a seamless trip. Before you collect your vehicle from Toronto Pearson International Airport, here are a few handy hints to help you feel confident on the roads.
How does airport pickup work near Toronto Airport?
Picking up rental vehicles near Toronto Pearson International Airport is simple and straightforward. Once you've booked a car on the Turo marketplace, message your host in the app to confirm an off-airport location for collection. Discuss how you'll meet (in person versus contactless) and any other details, such as a drop box location for the keys. Then, once you arrive, there's no need to stand in a line at the airport car rental counter — just grab your bags and head to pick up your rental vehicle.
How does drop-off work near Toronto Airport?
To arrange drop-off of your car rental from Turo, confirm the location ahead of time — at least a few days before your departure is ideal. Then, when it's time to head home, all you need to do is meet them or drop the rental car off at the organized spot near Toronto Pearson Airport. If you're parking in a secure parking garage, take a ticket and leave it inside the vehicle so your host can exit safely.
How far is Toronto Airport from downtown Toronto?
Toronto Pearson International Airport is roughly a 25 to 30-minute drive from the downtown area, depending on traffic and your final destination. Public transportation also services this route, with the Union Pearson (UP) express train taking approximately 45 minutes from door to door. If you're collecting your car rental from Toronto Pearson International Airport, the drive is simple — take ON-427 S and follow it as it becomes the Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway until you reach the city.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Toronto?
Due to its density and size, driving in Toronto isn’t always straightforward. While roads are well-maintained and mostly direct, challenges like congestion, construction, and one-way sections arise, so it pays to get a run-down of the area before you drive.
Like the rest of Canada, driving in Ontario means sticking to the right-hand side of the road, wearing a seatbelt at all times, obeying road signage and speed limits, and avoiding handheld phone use, which is strictly prohibited. In the downtown area, be mindful of Toronto’s streetcars (trams), which have the right of way when passengers are boarding or exiting.
Speed limits are clearly posted throughout Toronto, and tend to sit around 40 to 50 kilometres per hour (km/h) in the CBD, 30 km/h in school zones, and between 80 and 100 km/h on highways like the Don Valley Parkway. Many parts of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) have automated speed cameras, particularly near schools and in residential areas.
Traffic in Toronto can be heavy, especially during peak hours and on major routes like the Gardiner Expressway, Highway 401, and Lake Shore Boulevard. From late fall to early spring, snow and ice can significantly impact conditions. While roads are cleared regularly, extra caution and time are always recommended to avoid accidents with your rental vehicle.
What is parking like in Toronto?
Parking in Toronto can be competitive, particularly in the downtown area. There are numerous parking garages available, including Green P Carpark 36 (110 Queen Street West, by Nathan Phillips Square) and the underground parking at Yonge-Dundas Square, but it’s always worth arriving early or at an off-peak time to secure a spot.
Street parking is also an option in the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods, but it’s often metered and time-restricted. If you’re headed into downtown Toronto during a busy period, consider parking your rental car at a nearby public transit station and taking the bus or subway from there.
Are there toll roads in Toronto?
Toronto has one major toll road — the Highway 407 Express Toll Route (ETR), which runs from east to west across the northern part of the Greater Toronto Area. It is a fully electronic toll road, with charges based on distance travelled and calculated via transponder or license plate recognition. Other major roads and highways in Toronto, including Highway 401, the Gardiner Expressway, and the Don Valley Parkway, are free to use.
Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Toronto?
As a major metropolitan area, the GTA has ample gas stations and a well-developed EV charging infrastructure. For those driving traditional fuel vehicles, stick to major streets and near entry points to highways like the Gardiner Expressway to find gas stations. Convenient options downtown include the Petro-Canada (55 Spadina Avenue) and Shell (38 Spadina Avenue) in the Entertainment District, the Esso by the University of Toronto (132 Harbord Street), and the Esso at Bathurst Quay (553 Lake Shore Boulevard W).
To charge up your electric car or plug-in hybrid, head to one of the numerous parking garages, malls, or council buildings in the city centre. Toronto Eaton Centre (220 Yonge Street) offers FLO stations, whereas The Well (486 Front Street W) has a number of ChargePoint chargers. You’ll also find places to charge your rental vehicle scattered throughout the city, including at most Green P garages.
Do I need to rent a car in Toronto?
Toronto has an extensive public transportation system made up of a subway, streetcars, and buses, which is very efficient for travel within the downtown area. However, many attractions and day-trip destinations like Niagara are located further out, requiring greater flexibility.
A car rental on Turo gives you the ability to explore areas outside the city centre, travel on your own schedule, and avoid crowded transit during peak times. If convenience and freedom are top of mind for you, having a car is the best way to see Toronto.
What rental car types can I find on Turo in Toronto?
When you book a rental car near Toronto Pearson International Airport on Turo, you’ll have access to a wide range of vehicles suited to every travel style. Select a compact car for city driving, a mid-size sedan for road-trip comfort, an SUV for extra space, or a luxury vehicle for a premium experience. Other popular options include minivans, cargo vans, pickup trucks, and electric vehicles.
Whatever you select, you’re bound to enjoy a convenient, reliable experience in Toronto when you book a rental car on Turo. Unlike traditional car rental companies, Turo will always provide the exact vehicle you selected at checkout. With flexible pickup and drop-off locations and easy in-app communication, your car rental becomes one less thing to worry about on your visit to Canada’s ‘Queen City’. If you want to share the load, you can also add additional authorised drivers — just be sure to update the driver's license requirements before you head off.

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.

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.
