Terrible communication

Cons: My whole trip was delayed due to the fact I wasn't able to rent a car in time. The day before I booked the car I was on the phone with a customer rep. I was assured that I could rent the car with a visa/debit card with $100 deposit. The next day, I was told in-store that we'd need a credit card and the deposit is $350. I had to find a new last minute travel option, and that delayed my trip.

Very easy......very friendly.

Pros: We were very pleasantly surprised by the rate advertised for the rental. We actually thought it was a mistake it was so cheap! All good though we we arrived. LoLo was very friendly and the paperwork was smooth. We did have to wait about ten mins for the car to be delivered but we were in no hurry so all was good. The car was in good condition and we had no problems. An added bonus was that we were picked up at our address and driven to the rental site.....very very handy in our case and much appreciated! Also took out the insurance on the site as we were booking and it turned out a very good idea. The rate for the gas was also too cheap not to take. Very happy with the whole process.

Cons: Nothing. It was probably the easiest and best rental we have ever done. Highly recommend.

Top tips for renting a car in Québec City

Most popular car type	Mini

There is much to explore in and around Quebec City, and the surrounding areas are perfect for extensive road trips, during which travelers can discover the various attractions of the city, like the Citadelle or Chateâu Frontenac. Gain the flexibility to create your own travel schedule when exploring French Canada with your own hire car during your stay in the city.

When landing in Jean Lesage Quebec International Airport, head to the administrative building, on whose ground floor there are various onsite agencies offering vehicles for every need. The airport is about 11 miles from the heart of Quebec and travelers can be in the vicinity of the Citadelle and city center in about 40 minutes via the Autoroute 440 E. Note that public transport will take well over an hour to get you to the center, so picking up your car directly upon arrival is a good idea.

Quebec is a beautiful city with many old and new parts -- there are old cobblestone streets and broad highways alike. Maneuvering through the narrower streets can be a challenge at first, so adjust your speed, if necessary. Drivers in Quebec usually adhere to the street regulations, making it a pleasant experience to drive through the city. The average speed is faster than some US cities, which may take some getting used to.

Rush hour usually hits the city between 7 and 9 am and 5 and 8 pm on weekdays and can lead up to delays of one hour. Especially the 73 can get clogged up during peak times in both directions and should be avoided by either taking the side alleys or heading out at another time of day altogether, if possible. Also remember to stay in the right lane, as the left is only for passing other cars, a rule that is mostly adhered to by Canadian drivers.

Book your rental car in Québec City at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Take a look at our extensive car hire location map to find the best hire cars near you.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Quebec City?

If you intend to drive mainly within the city limits, a compact car may be a better choice due to the many narrow roads within the old parts of the city. If visiting in the winter with plans to venture out of the city, a 4-wheel-drive car such as an SUV is recommended.

What's the speed limit in Quebec City?

Unlike in the US, speed limits are posted in kilometers per hour in Canada, so keep the conversions in mind. Within the city limits of Quebec City, 50 km/h (31 mph) is generally permitted, though it is only 30 km/h (18 mph) in some areas. Secondary roads allow up to 90 km/h (55 mph) and on freeways 100 km/h (62 mph) is permitted.

How are gas prices in Quebec City?

Petrol prices are measured in liters, and the average liter costs around $1.24 CAD ($0.93 USD, which translates to $3.72 per gallon). Familiarize yourself with what kind of petrol your hire car needs and refill the tank accordingly. When venturing out into the Canadian countryside, it is recommended to fill up the tank completely beforehand, as petrol stations can become scarcer the further you drive away from the city.

Where are the best places to park in Quebec City?

On-street parking is metered in most areas in Quebec City, but there is also a plethora of parking lots available in and around downtown, such as the D’église Saint-Dominique in Montcalm or the Place Haute-Ville in Saint-Jean Baptiste, which cost about $11 CAD ($8 USD) for two hours and approximately $18 CAD ($13 USD) for one day.
