Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Car in Ottawa

Experience Ottawa

Ottawa is the capital of Canada, situated along the Ontario side of the Ottawa River. Ottawa is a mixing pot of many of the world's cultures, and the city has quickly become a rapidly growing city thanks to the booming high-tech business sector. Ottawa houses various universities and research institutes which have also contributed to its success. Learn about the government of Canada with a drive to the Victorian Gothic sandstone, Parliament Buildings of Ottawa. The remarkable buildings sit on top of a hill looking out over the Ottawa River with sweeping panoramic views over the city. Reflect while enjoying a bite to eat along the banks of Rideau Canal or visit the ultra-modern National Gallery of Canada housing fabulous works of art.

Enjoy the comfort and ease of having your own hire car with various day trips around Ottawa. Located approximately one hour drive north of Ottawa, experience a day in the life of a classic pioneer village at the Upper Canada Village and travel back in time to see how Canada was in the 1800’s. Make friends with the wildlife at Parc Omega located just outside Montebello, approximately one hour north eastern of Ottawa. You will be rewarded with dozens of deer, elk, and bison wandering up to the car windows hoping to score a carrot or two.
