Tips for renting a car in Montreal

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Montreal including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on April 19, 2024.
  • Renting a car in Montreal allows you the convenience and flexibility to explore the city and its tourist attractions at your pace. You can visit drive to Old Montreal to explore the historic district lined with museums, markets such as Bonsecours Market, and historical buildings like Notre Dame Basilica. If you’d like to enjoy scenic views of the city, visit Mount Royal Park. It’s also ideal for outdoor activities like picnics and hiking.
  • Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL) has several car rental agencies on site providing vehicles for hire. They include Hertz, Budget, Avis, and Enterprise. From the terminal, look for signs directing you to car rentals, then follow the walkway to the ground-level exterior parking lot. In the parking garage, follow additional signs guiding you to the Rental Car Building, to get to the rental car counters.
  • When driving a car in Montreal, there are a few driving guidelines you should follow closely. Speed limits are indicated in km/h rather than miles per hour. On limited-access expressways, certain signs are written in the French language. When driving, keep to the right side of the road and only overtake vehicles on the left side. When making a left turn, wait for the flashing green light, indicating that oncoming traffic has a red light. When the green arrow points ahead, it’s meant for pedestrians to cross the intersection safely. Fuel prices are calculated based on liters purchased, not gallons.
  • Downtown Montreal is about 13 miles from Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) airport. The travel time from the airport to downtown is approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The fastest route to downtown is through the A20, taking about 20 minutes. You can also take the A520 and transition to Autoroute 20, which becomes 720 E. You then take Exit 4 to enter downtown Montreal. The A520 is, however, prone to congestion during rush hours.
