Where can I rent a car in Canada?

Car rental in Canada starts at one of the 69 destinations where we have local partners. There are several ways to pick up your rental car:

  • Airport office: you've had a long flight and want to explore Canada with your rental car as soon as possible. Understandable! In that case, opt for a pickup from one of our local partners at a Canadian airport. For example, you can pick up your rental car from Vancouver Airport, Toronto Airport, Calgary Airport or any other Canadian airport.
  • City office: want to get used to jet lag for a few days first? Or just don't want to get into a rental car straight from the plane? Then choose to pick up your rental car at a city office. Two popular city offices in Canada are Calgary and Toronto, but there are many other cities from where you can pick up your all-in rental car.
  • Address delivery: a rental car in Canada can be even easier to arrange with hotel delivery. The rental car will then be brought and later collected from your hotel. Please note that this requires a reception to be present at your accommodation.

Select the desired pick-up location on our website when booking your rental car.

See more with the Extra Driver service

Booking an all-inclusive car rental in Canada is easy with Sunny Cars. But did you know that in addition to our all-inclusive car rental formula, we also offer extra services?

In Canada, you will probably drive long distances with your rental car. To really get the most out of your holiday, we recommend the Extra Driver service. This adds a second driver to the car rental contract, so you can both drive the car. This is convenient, because then you can both enjoy the beautiful Canadian scenery. Plus, it's safer because by alternating driving with your travelling companion, you avoid being behind the wheel for too long and getting tired. Add the Extra Driver service by selecting ‘Extra Driver’ in the filter at car selection during the booking process.
