What you need to know about car rentals in Ottawa

How do I get an Ottawa Budget car rental at a great rate?

We strive to get you the best price, no matter when you reserve your car. However, booking your car well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Make sure to not add an additional driver and go over the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

What should I carry with me when I pick up my rental car in Ottawa?

You will need to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What's Ottawa's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Ottawa is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to go over Budget's policy to determine if there is an additional cost for you.

What kind of Budget rental car should I get for my trip to Ottawa?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Ottawa. Economy or compact automobiles are easier to park and good for short commutes. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV will have more room for everyone's belongings and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a dash of extravagance on their Ottawa getaway can choose a higher-end car model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in Canada?

In Canada you do need to have insurance before you rent. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa and MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Budget car rental?

Budget does require a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the model and make of the vehicle.

Do I have to return my Budget rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank policy. You should get your automobile with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back to Budget. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in Ottawa?

Ottawa certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Ottawa Budget offer one-way car rentals?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to drop off your rental at a different Budget. However, there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
