KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Montreal

  • Fortunately for travelers looking to rent a car after landing in Montreal, the hire car desks are located right within the airport’s baggage claim terminal, meaning you don’t have to take a shuttle or bus to reach an off-site hire car center. After collecting your luggage, the signs will lead you to the hire car desks and from there it is a short walk downstairs to the hire garage.
  • Drivers should beware that right turns on red are not allowed on the actual island of Montreal. Outside the island and in neighboring areas, right turns on red are allowed, but on the island it is strictly forbidden.
  • Rush hour can be rough in Montreal as it has rated among the most congested cities in Canada. However, if you avoid the bulk of the morning rush hour (6:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.) and the afternoon rush hour (3:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.), then you should be fairly safe from congested streets and traffic jams. In particular, the major highways, such as Highways 20 and 40, are to be avoided during peak rush hour.
  • Drivers should take note that intersections will often lack crossing signs for pedestrians. As such, cars are to yield to pedestrians crossing as they have the right of way. Drivers should also keep their eyes open for bikes, as biking is very popular in Montreal during the warmer months.
  • Book your car hire in Montreal at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Supplier choice hire cars in Montreal are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Montreal

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Montreal?

    Montreal is an older city and thus many of the streets can be a bit on the smaller side. For the most part, a mid-sized vehicle will be comfortable on Montreal’s roads, but to play it safe, it may be worth it to rent a sedan or a smaller vehicle. This is especially the case if you plan on exploring the older parts of the city.

  • What’s the speed limit in Montreal?

    The speed limits in Montreal, Quebec, and in Canada are in general a bit lower than what is seen in the United States. So, be prepared to drive a little slower than you are used to. Some of the speeds you may see posted in Montreal include 50 km/h (31 mph) in most urban and residential areas and 100 km/h (62 mph) on highways.

  • Where are the best places to park in Montreal?

    There are a wide variety of parking options available in Montreal from streetside parking to serviced lots. In general, prices on weekends will be cheaper than during work hours on weekdays. On-street parking will also be a better deal than short-term parking lots.

Overall OK. But I made my reservation via Kayak, and Enterprise didn't have any details of the reservation. Needed to fill out the forms again, which took time. The most important - they didn't have any information about the protection I purchased via Kayak, I had to take another coverage directly via Enterprise not to take a risk. Till today I have no idea if I was charged twice. Confusing.

When I arrived to pick up the car I was forced to wait over an hour for a car to be available. The entire waiting area at Thrifty/Hertz was packed with people sitting around waiting for their cars, as though it was a surprise that people showed up for their reservations. All of the other rental car counters were generally empty. Those companies moved their customers in and out. So it wasn’t just a busy day — those other companies were there in the same conditions.
