Am I able To Take The Rental Out Of My Province Or Country?

Yes. Please let us know at time of rental pick up or reservation, so we can add the appropriate coverage to your rental agreement. A nominal daily fee will apply for out of province or country rentals to cover increased liability.

Am I Responsible For Refuelling?

All renters are responsible for the cost of refuelling. We recommend you refuel the vehicle within 5 Km of the rental branch and present your fuel receipt upon return to avoid any refuelling charges.

Are Additional Drivers Allowed?

Yes, as long as they have presented their driver’s licence to us at the rental counter, and are added to your rental agreement as an additional driver. All drivers must be noted on the rental agreement. Additional drivers will be subject to an additional driver fee.
Please note: Failure to formally add a driver to your rental agreement voids the terms and conditions of the rental agreement.

What Should I Do If I’m Involved In An Accident?

First be sure to contact any emergency services if injuries are involved. If not, contact the police to complete an accident report and immediately. Be sure to collect as much information from all parties involved in the accident, such as driver’s licence, insurance policy number and names of witnesses. Take photos of the vehicle immediately. Accidents must be reported to our office within 24 hours, we will give you further instructions once you contact us.

Do I need To Sign A Collision Loss Damage Waiver?

We offer CDW (Collision Loss Damage Waiver) at a flat daily rate. Collision Loss Damage Waiver (CDW) is offered by The Car Rental Place to all of our customers to minimize your financial responsibility from any damage as a result of an accident to the rental vehicle. The Car Rental Place waives all or part (as indicated on the rental agreement at time of rental) of the customer's liability for damages to the vehicle provided the terms and conditions of the rental agreement are not violated.

Do You Offer A Personal Accident Liability?

Our PAI protects you from the most frequent car rental incidents and damages.
PAI advantages:

  • Covers costs of road hazard damage such as windshield and tire up to $500.00
  • Covers costs of minor dents and scratches up to $500.00.
  • Plus emergency roadside assistance.

Please inquire at the counter at time rental.

What If I'm Fined For Traffic and Toll Violations or Red-Light Camera Violations?

The renter of the vehicle is liable for all parking tickets, traffic violations, red-light camera violations and 407 ETR driving. Once we receive the violation or toll charge in the mail we will pay it immediately on your behalf to reduce incurring any rising ticket costs. We will then bill your credit card for the ticket amount, plus an administration charge of $50.00 per infraction..

What Some Of Our Clients Are Saying

Very friendly staff, I needed a truck during a holiday, and Canada's most well-known uhaul didn't have any option for the time I wanted within 100kms. Luckily, I was able to find this place, and I never thought I would be because this place hard to notice if you don't look for well. Need yo mention that it was close to my house 2 minutes by car😄 which made me happier. Long story short you need to do sometimes just walkin and ask

I had a very good experience renting a car here. They picked me up from my mechanic's shop and dropped me off back at my car when the repair was complete. The Corolla they rented to me was brand new, clean and had more options than a base model. The price was more competitive than most of the other car rental companies on Dufferin St.

I’ve been renting 12 passenger vans from here twice a year for a few years. Every experience has been good. A quick call to set up the reservation, the vehicle is ready right at open, and it’s always clean and well maintained. I can drop off after hours. The people are good to deal with. I recommend the Car Rental Place.

Our friends and family just wanted to take this time to thank Frank and his crew at the Car Rental Place. The entire experience from getting accurate quotes, the thorough delivery inspection and the return was seamless. The van itself (late model Toyota Sienna) was very clean and drove buttery smooth throughout the vacation as it was well-maintained. More importantly, unlike most other rental places, e-mails were responded to promptly and the final bill was lower than we had anticipated with zero surprise charges. Never left a review for a car rental place before, but we had to make an exception here as a small token of our appreciation for the exceptional experience. Without question, we would highly recommend the Car Rental Place as it is now our go-to place for any future vehicle rentals!
