KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Markham
- When you hire a car in Markham, you gain access to the exciting areas that surround the city. If you are visiting the area for the first time, one of the first things that has to be on your bucket list is a day trip to the exciting city of Toronto, only 20 miles away from the centre of Markham. Booking car hire in Markham is far easier than working out the public transport system and gives you more freedom than relying only on taxis. You can also take a drive out to the stunning areas that surround Markham, with the likes of Lake Simcoe only 55 miles away.
- Billy Bishop Toronto City (YTZ) Airport is the nearest airport to Markham and is the ideal location to book your Markham car hire. The airport has many international car hire branches, which offer an array of car models for your trip to the Canadian city. Because the airport is only 17 miles away from the Markham city centre, you can pick up your car for car hire in Markham from the airport when you land and be at your accommodation in no time. This will also save you the time it takes to look for a taxi or figure out which train or bus to take.
- Driving in Markham is much like driving in any Canadian city’s suburb. Markham is an industrial city with many warehouses and distribution centres. Therefore, there are many trucks on the road at any given time. The main junction to get into the city consists of highways 404 and 407, where the main exits are for you to reach your final Markham destination. It’s worth knowing which exit you need to take, as there are several to choose from, which can be difficult to identify at speed. You'll be able to pick up your hire vehicle from the Arrivals terminal.
- The town centre of Markham is relatively industrial, and therefore you can expect to share the road with much larger vehicles. However, the more suburban areas are a mix of boutique shops and bars. Here, you must watch for people walking between these types of establishments. The road rules in Markham are also very strict. Drivers who are not used to road laws should familiarise themselves beforehand to avoid getting any unexpected speeding or traffic fines.
- Book your rental car in Markham at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Sep 2017
Pros:
Picking up the car and dropping off was straightforward and hassle-free. I received a thorough review of the car during pickup and clarification of any accompanying charges. Service from staff was courteous and professional.Cons:
Minor detail but while the car was detailed properly, some napkins from Subway were left in the center console top compartment. The napkins weren't dirty but the clutter was surprising for a car that should be thoroughly detailed after a rental. Also could be more transparent on miscellaneous fees such as airport taxes and drop-off.10.0 Wonderful

We were asked to come back 1 hour later as the car wasn't there/cleaned yet. When we returned the car was cleaned but not on the inside, mud and dog hair on the seats. Disgusting. The guy at the counter dared warn us that we would be charged if we would have a dog in the car.Cons:
