  • Skip the hidden fees by booking a ride with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start and end your trip with a full tank, and pay only for what you use.

Good to know

  • Check each company's age requirements before booking your rental in Canada. Rules can vary, and added fees or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.

  • Add a car seat to your Sault Ste Marie car rental booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest way to go.

  • You'll need to hand over a few things when picking up your rental car: your physical driver's license, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any other requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Spend a moment familiarizing yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Canada.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's normally around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways. Always follow the posted signs.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in Canada. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Canadian dollar (CAD) for day-to-day spending on your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cash and cards for more flexibility when paying.
