What types of cars can I rent in Ottawa?
Many visitors choose to rent economy cars in Ottawa. Drivers love them because they’re affordable and great on gas.

Book some wheels, pick up the keys and get ready to explore all Ottawa has to offer. But with so much to see in the surrounding areas, don’t put the brakes on there! Set your sat-nav to some of the other happening places in the region:

  • You’ll feel the spirit of a city bursting with life as soon as you pull into Montreal. Some 100 mi from Ottawa, it has a ton of exciting spots to explore, such as Notre Dame Basilica.
  • About 100 mi away, Kingston is another location worth putting on your road trip itinerary. Check out Queens University while you’re in the area.
  • No road trip is complete without dropping by Algonquin Provincial Park. This well-known nature spot is roughly 130 mi from Ottawa. Relax and breathe in the fresh air!
