KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Ottawa

  • Canada’s capital is an evergreen city that is overflowing with spectacular parks and gardens. Ottawa is located along the Ottawa River and is connected to the Rideau Canal, providing extensive opportunities to get outside and enjoy the wonders of nature. Renting a car will give you unrivaled access to the glorious hiking trails of Gatineau Park while also allowing the time to take in the significant cultural arts attractions, such as the National Gallery and Canadian Museum of History. If you are planning to attend an Ottawa Senators ice hockey match, renting a car is the best option since Canadian Tire Center is more than 25 km (15 miles) from the downtown district.
  • Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW) is located approximately 11 km (7 miles) from downtown and you will be able to arrive in just over 20 minutes of driving. hire companies Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise have their counters located on Level 1 of the parking facility, directly across from the baggage claim area.
  • Since the expanse of parklands and outdoor activities lends Ottawa to be an optimal location for bike riding, so be vigilant while driving and remember to check blind spots regularly. Turning right at a red light is legal in Ottawa unless otherwise indicated by signage; however, always remember to stop at the intersection and ensure the road is clear.
  • Ottawa and the surrounding areas of Ontario are well known for the heavy amounts of snowfall they often get during the winter. If you are planning to travel during this time of the year you will witness some beautiful frozen lakes and scenery; however, be extra cautious while driving. It is important to regularly check weather reports which will provide information on road conditions and safety. When driving on icy roads, remember to reduce speeds and allow more braking time and space than you would in normal conditions.
  • Book your car hire in Ottawa at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

The staff at pick-up was super friendly.

Cons:

The interior of the car could have been cleaner. The drop-off experience could have been WAY better. They might be able to update their Computer System - 1 -easy access for local locations to change drop-off if that's what the customer is requesting, and 2 - have the ability to convert currency!

The location on Somerset street Ottawa is my absolute worst experience with car rental. Vehicle had so many KM and was starting to fall apart. Vehicle was dirty even though they said it was clean. Back seatbelt didn’t work. Weird brake noises. Was charged $750 credit card hold.

Car was dirty , hadn’t been disinfected , vacuumed, customer service was ok , felt rushed .. not a personal experience. Most rental places drive you back , but they did not. Price was reasonable, got in on a good price. Don’t think I would go back to that particular location. Maybe try another location next time!

I was unable to rent a vehicle, though I had reserved one. The machine to read my licence did not work, so I could not proceed with renting the vehicle that I had reserved. The staff seemed to imply that my licence was invalid. They said to me that I should try to rent from another company, which I did. There was no problem with my licence being read and another company was happy to rent to me, though I missed out on the better priced vehicle from Budget.

I have been overcharged and will now have to contact Budget to resolve the $500 on my card. Upon pick up, the vehicle was disgustingly dirty. There was a chip in the windshield and during the walk around, the employee said that if it worsened it would be at my cost. He did not even inspect the inside of the vehicle. They were not even open upon me returning the vehicle. They did not honour my promo code. An all around horrible experience and I will not book again.

Cons:

Despite booking an intermediate on Kayak, the Avis received my booking as a compact. Thankfully, Avis found an intermediate car for me at a nearby location for no extra charge, which I appreciated. Seems like a miscommunication between the Kayak and Avis systems.

KAYAK

Cons:

We received quite a larger vehicle than booked as the type of vehicle we had booked was not available so I think the vehicle should have been the correct size. Also, the vehicle had Florida license plates and being in Canada and driving, because of the travel restrictions and people’s heightened stress, we didn’t feel comfortable driving in Canada with the Florida plates under Covid.

Pros:

After streetparking my mirror had been flopped back. Sure enough-two dents in the door - I had been side swiped. I reported to insurance and Avis Ottawa who were very calm and supportive. Returning the car, an employee immediately told me that it was old damage. Honest and clear service.

Cons:

The rental place was supposed to open at 8 A.M. (as was indicated on their own front door), which was when my pickup was arranged for. I got there at 8:05 A.M. and waited until 8:25 A.M. until I had to find other arrangements to get to my appointment because no one showed up.

I booked a dodge challenger but given a ford escape. The ford interior had not been vacuumed and had dirt and food debris in the console/gear shift. The exterior of the vehicle had not been washed and the windshield was covered with dead bugs. However, the drop-off at Toronto Pearson Airport was smooth and efficient

Pros:

Noone was there when I dropped the car off. I found papertowel (used) in the car. Not acceptable at all given this is a Covid pandemic. I was told after I had booked the car that Costco members get a discount. The agents never really tell you about any features or benefits. When I showed up the woman was not there so I had to wait for her.

Pros:

I had asked for an economy car but I was told that none were available despite the fact that I had booked economy.

Cons:

They should go outside with the customer to do an inspection of the car and to explain the features of the car.

Cons:

When someone rents a GPS it should have instructions with it or the operation be explained. I could not get sound out of it and old address kept coming up. It was night time rain and it seems all the City is in Construction, and the GPS does not work very dangerous.

It was the worst experience in my whole life. They keep charging me for unreasonable amount for no reasons and even when I gave back the car they kept charging me. That have my card number informations but they do t have the right to take money on my cards. My location was supposed to cost me 90$ and it end up costing me 230$. Absolutely unacceptable

I booked a moving truck/van online with UNLIMITED km's on the vehicle (it said so on the website as well as my conformation email) just to be told no we are going to charge to 30 cents per km. I told the lady there no I have proof that it says unlimited and I showed her as well as the other employees then she said no its in the terms of service.....So she tried to find it and it wasn't there. I read the ENTIRE thing and its not there. I asked her what is the excuse now because she was wrong and I could tell the whole time she knew she was wrong, then she said ok I will give it to you for 15 cents per km....along with the $1500 deposit for a truck stay away from this place!! They will try to scam you with their BS km and just booking the vehicle is non-refundable so they get you to book just to be told when you get there that you cant have it for what was advertised.

The contract said unlimited milage but Routes would not honor it. The Route staff was very rude and refused to give his name so that I could launch a formal complaint. In the end, I ended up not renting from them. I was stranded as I had recieved a ride to pick up the van from Routes location. It was terrible experience. I will never rent with Routes again even if it was free. Regards, Nazib

Few points to mention: - Reservation clearly stated and I had the printed "terms and conditions" where it says "Unlimited Mileage" - but when we came to pick-up, we were told that only 200 km a day are included!!! We needed to make a trip involving abut 1000km and accounted for that when booked. - Then we were told that we need to put down a deposit of $1500!, while we have insurance provided by our credit card - The car at pick-up although ok on the outside, inside was dirty - Also, we booked a Nissan Rogue and got a Ford Escape, which was not our first choice... I most likely, will never rent a car from this company. Very misleading information.

We had to insist on checking the car conditions in our presence at drop off like we did for pickup. Else the practice is to do it later on and send the observations to the customer by emails.
