You can rent a car at the Ottawa International Airport or downtown Ottawa or at various other areas in the city. Some companies will even offer free customer pick-up and return. They come and pick you up at your hotel or at your home. The prices vary depending on what size vehicle you want and for how long you want it for. Some of the Ottawa car rental companies offer special discounts so when you call to make your reservation you may want to ask if they have a discount at the time you are reserving it for. We strongly advise that you book your rental car in advance (if you can) because rental cars are popular in Ottawa for residents and tourists. Also make sure to reserve any special features in advance like a car seat for a child or a bike rack or a non-smoking vehicle etc. This will ensure that you get the type of car you want on the day that you rent it. Ottawa is a fairly easy city to drive around. If you are coming from another country you may want to familiarize yourself with some of the rules before arriving (i.e. you can turn right on a red light). We have had many friends from out of town rent cars in Ottawa and they all agree that it is easy to get around but they do comment that there are a lot of one way streets. So beware! Get a good map and ask for directions. Here is a listing of some of the car rental companies in Ottawa: Avis
Alamo
Budget
Discount
Enterprise
Hertz
National
Thrifty
Good luck finding an Ottawa rental car company and we wish you a safe journey.
