5 Aug 2019
Pros: Yes !
Cons: One fact and the only disappointment was no indication at any point on the reservation that the rental was “off airport” adding a cab ride and time that was NOT accounted for. Not being from the region the address was NOT obvious to me.

8 Jul 2019
Pros: Well, we reserved 2 vans, but when we came to pick up, they did not have the vans, so they upgraded us to a Ford Flex. We did like the Ford Flex so that worked out well.
Cons: Luckily, even though we reserved a van - which is why we went with National, because they showed to have a van. When showed up to pick up, they did not have the van we reserved, so they gave us a Ford Flex. We did like the Ford Flex, so it worked out fine.

8 Sep 2016
Pros: The car was clean and roomy.
Cons: The car I reserved and expected to drive was apparently unavailable and a Kia Soul was the replacement. Your agent assured me that it was an upgrade but I found that it lacked power especially when passing and climbing hills. Rear window visibility could have been better. The radio tone was muddy.
9.2 Excellent

23 Sep 2018
Comfortable
Pros: At first I thought taking a large pickup vehicle would be abit excessive for two. However, with a full tank of fuel already provided and plenty of legroom inside the car it made the 8hr journey to our destination totally worth it. The car also had a great stereo system!
Cons: Nothing, although would love to drive a manual next time.

16 Aug 2019
Pros: The car and pick up and drop off were fine---eventually. But the frustrations came when trying to get Enterprise on the phone to talk to a live person about a serious problem.
Cons: 2 months in advance, we chose the wrong pick-up date in Quebec. We couldn't correct it online or by phone and on arrival had to taxi to the office to try to fix it. Jonte Jyne was very helpful. But Enterprise's voice-mail system is the WORST!

Cons: Not much to suggest for improvement. The entry and exit to the garage where the cars are kept is a bit tight, but I'm not sure how easy that would be to improve, it's just a feature of the downtown space.

Pros: The car was perfect. We did not expect so much comfort and a quality car like that.
Cons: The staff was bad. I mean, she was really bad. She did not want to help up at all and the answers came with a bad mood and even putting some kind of terror since we chose not to take insurance. Also, I'm worried about the $210 that was temporaly charged in my credit card and it was not cancelled yet

Top tips for renting a car in Québec City

  • 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

FAQs about hiring a car in Québec City

What is the best rental car company in Québec City?

Based on ratings and reviews from real users on KAYAK, the best car rental companies in Québec City are Alamo (8.7, 6493 reviews), Enterprise (8.5, 12893 reviews), and Avis (7.6, 2258 reviews).

How can I find car rentals near me in Québec City?

Take a look at our extensive car rental location map to find the best rental 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.
