Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Ottawa?
Low-cost car rentals started at a day in Ottawa, based on prices within the past seven days. With rates like this, we make it easy to pick up some keys and take off for less.
What happens if I need to cancel my Ottawa car reservation?
We all have times when plans change. That’s why we offer a full refund on the majority of bookings if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of pickup. Remember to double-check the policy — in some cases it’s not available. Can’t find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Ottawa?
Busy city streets and narrow parking spots are no sweat for an economy car — the most commonly booked home type in Ottawa. Grab the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic effortlessly. Affordable, reliable and good on gas, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Ottawa can be explored in almost any sort of home you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are among your options.
Why should I rent an Ottawa car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Ottawa with Expedia?
Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your car type and compare prices from top brands. Expedia makes it easy to get the best deal on your home wheels. Bundle your Ottawa car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, the requirement is 21 years and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. Remember to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Ottawa?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your home provider to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ottawa?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip information and we’ll list awesome offers from a range of leading companies.
Where can I find an Ottawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do some research. Managed to find an Ottawa supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Ottawa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
