What should I pay attention to for a one-way rental?

Key Consideration:

  • Vehicle Availability: Ensure the type and model of car you prefer is available for one-way rentals.
  • Drop-Off Location: Confirm potential drop-off locations to see if they align with your destination.
  • Cross-Border Restrictions: Check the rental company's policy regarding cross-border travel when traveling from Canada to the U.S.
  • Insurance Coverage: Review your insurance policy or rental agreement to ensure appropriate coverage for cross-border trips.
Smart Planning Tips:
  • Plan Your Route: Map your journey and consider rest stops, attractions, and gas stations along the way.
  • Book Early: Secure your rental in advance to ensure availability and potentially lower costs.
