Renting a Car in Montreal

Voyage Montreal
Montreal’s car rental companies accept foreigners to rent a car, as long as you have a valid driver’s license. People from United States would have a faster check-out, since their cards are validated upon arrival. If you arrive at the airport, you will see many signs that advertise car rentals. The decision you have to pick is, “which company do I choose?”. The best way to decide is by asking their terms and conditions and comparing the pricing. On all occasions, the rentals at an airport location are always higher than the city rentals. Once thing you could do is, come to the city and find a rental company to rent from. The major rental companies serving the airport clients are Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Thrifty and Dollar. Their respective contact information can be found below.

Alamo – 1 800 462-5266
Avis – 1 800 879-2847
Budget – 1 800 268-8970
Enterprise – 1 800 736-8222
Hertz – 1 800 263-0678
National – 1 800 227-7368
Thrifty – 1 800 847-4389
Dollar – 1 800 800-4000

There is no, one best company that we can recommend. Your best bet is to find a company that has a suitable and comfortable vehicle. The basic information they need is your drivers license, contact phone number and a credit card with at least an excess of two hundred dollars in credit available. The company will place your credit on hold until the car returned. When returning your vehicle, you have the option to charge your credit card or pay in cash. All rental companies have regulations in terms of age and rental class. If you are under age, you would have to pay extra fees.

The one company which offers rentals to nineteen year olds is Hertz. However, there is an extra $41 charge on top of the rental fee. When renting, you have the option to choose from various types of insurance plans. You could choose one where you would not be liable for any damage of any sort, or another one where you would be liable if the damage exceeds three hundred dollars. If you are coming into Montreal to rent, rather than at the airport, your best option is to check the prices online. The pricing option is different from location to location. Most of the time, the pricing range at the airports will almost be 1.5 times the original cost.
