Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Macdonald-Cartier Intl. Airport (YOW)?
Hightail it out of Macdonald-Cartier Intl. Airport (YOW) and rent a car from Avis. This rental car outlet is a quick commute from the terminal.
What happens if I need to cancel my Ottawa car reservation?
Good news! You should be given a complete refund if you let us know at least six hours prior to the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals will receive a refund though, so you may want to go over the car’s cancellation policy.
Why should I rent an Ottawa car with Expedia?
With car rental companies to pick from in Ottawa, Expedia will help you find the perfect set of wheels. And when you combine your rental vehicle, flights and hotel into a package, you can save even more on your entire Ottawa vacation. From economy models to full-size SUVs and more, Expedia will put you behind the wheel of your next exciting adventure.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Ottawa with Expedia?
Nabbing an awesome deal on your Ottawa rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add some details and compare the offers across popular suppliers. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You’ll unlock even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
What do you need to rent a car in Ottawa?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I drive in Ottawa with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your valid U.S. License will be enough for you to drive legally in Ottawa. But if you’re the sort of person who likes to cover all the bases, get yourself an International Driving Permit. It’s relatively simple to arrange.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ottawa?
You can. Expedia partners with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Ottawa — or beyond!
Where can I find an Ottawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find an Ottawa outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the details you need.
