Hiring a car in Ontario is highly advised. A hire car allows you to explore at any given time, whilst you’re also able to reach more remote locations, which isn’t something that’s always possible with public transport. Ontario is renowned for its beautiful landscape, which is something you’ll be able to explore more of if you have a hire car. A hire car makes it possible to reach a range of stunning locations, such as Niagara Falls, Lake Superior and Polar Bear Provincial Park. It also enables you to visit a range of beautiful towns and villages that buses or trains don’t regularly go to.

Driving in Ontario is a pleasant experience, with the roads being high quality and drivers being relatively considerate. Most roads are wide and spacious, giving you lots of room to manoeuvre your vehicle. Most locations are well-signposted, too, so you’ll be able to reach your destination with ease. In some of the more rural areas, you might find that the roads are narrow. On these roads, you should drive more cautiously, in case a vehicle is coming from the other direction. In Ontario, you must drive on the right-hand side of the road, which is the opposite of the U.K.

You normally need to be at least 21 years of age to hire a car in Ontario. There are a few agencies that will require you to be older than this, so it’s recommended that you contact your agency just to be sure. If you are younger than 25 years of age, you will probably need to pay a young person’s surcharge for your hire period, whilst there are also normally age restrictions on certain vehicle types. You will need a full driving licence and valid form of ID to hire a car in this region.
