What are the requirements for renting a car in Toronto?
When renting a car in Toronto, you must be at least 21 years. However, some of the rental companies may require the renters to be at least 25 years or incur an additional fee for the young renter option if the renter is between 21 and 24 years old. To complete the rental process, you must have a valid driver’s license, and identification documents, including a passport or ID card and a credit card. For some rental companies, using a debit card for payment is acceptable. You must also have your insurance card if you use your insurance.

Are there toll roads in Toronto?
Toronto has electronic toll roads in the Greater Toronto Area, using the 407 Express Toll Route system.

However, if your rental car has no transponder, you can pay for the toll roads online through the 407 ETR website. Some of the rental companies will charge you extra for using tolls. For a stress-free travel experience using toll roads in Toronto, consider renting a car from the rental companies that offer toll inclusion packages, where you pay a daily fee covering all the toll charges during the period you use the rental car.

You can drive your rental car from Toronto to various US states, including New York, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
