Planning to Rent a Car in Toronto Airport? Below is all the information you need:
Those who have ever been to the cities of North America know their flavor. These are powerful megacities with skyscrapers, the rise and development of which began at the beginning of the 20th century. But at the same time, they are green, colorful and original. These cities include one of the largest metropolitan areas Canada — Toronto. It is a developed scientific, economic, commercial, tourist, industrial and transport center of its country, but also of the world as a whole. His airport named after the Canadian scientist Leicester is the busiest air harbor in Canada. It's easy to see why.
Toronto Lester Pearson International Airport located 22.5-27 km from Toronto. Address: 6301 Silver Dart Dr, Mississauga, ON L5P 1B2, Canada. Coordinates: 43.679675 latitude and -79.612531 longitude. Phone: +1 416-247-7678. The IATA code is YYZ. The airport annually serves about 40 million people. Its history begins in 1937, when the authorities of Toronto bought agricultural land and built in 1939 a small airport with no frills - Toronto-Melton. Already in 1942, a control room was built, and in 1949, an outdated terminal was reconstructed. Its throughput was almost 137.5 times less than today!
In the 1960s, the T1 terminal reached its peak and began to overwhelm the flow of people. Then, in the period from 1957-1964, a new terminal building T1 was built. In 1972, the T2 terminal building was built (to be demolished in 2008). In 1984, the airport changed its name to the present, and in 1991 a new terminal T3 was built. In 2004, the T1 terminal was again reconstructed and expanded. And now more about them.
There are two terminals here: T1 and T2. They both serve both international and domestic flights. There is free transport between the terminals - the Terminal Link train. They have all the conditions for a comfortable stay: shops, restaurants, cafes, playgrounds, a first-aid post, information desks, Duty Free, banks and ATMs.
Parking lots.
There are several options: Express park, Daily park, Value park garage, Value park lot, Preferred park, Express Valet at Terminal 1, Viscount reserved Lot. All parking information can be found on Toronto Airport website. Some of them have charging stations for electric vehicles. Let's talk more about each parking lot:
Express park. This car park is located at the T1 terminal. From 0 to 20 minutes costs $5 (12:00-19:59) and $4 (20:00-11:59). The price per day is $55.
Daily park. This indoor car park is located in the area of Terminal T1 and T3. The cost from 0 to 20 minutes is $6 for T1 and $5 for T3 (12:00-19:59) and $1 lower between 20:00 and 11:59. Price per week is $199.
Value park garage. And this is already covered parking, so the price is slightly higher than for the Value park Lot. $29 per day, $145 per week, but for the first 7 days.
Express Valet at Terminal 1. Almost the same parking as Preferred park.
Viscount reserved Lot. And this is an economy class parking lot, that is, open. All services can only be ordered online or by phone.
How to get to the city center?

10 Smart Tips to Make the Most of Your Car Rental
Download desired area of Google maps for offline access
The presence of an offline navigator allows you to save on roaming. It is enough just to download the necessary maps from Google Maps and get directions even without a network connection. To do this, enter the phrase "OK MAPS" in the application, select the desired area and download offline maps to your smartphone.
Early Booking Discount
Toronto Airport is now in ever-increasing demand, which affects the high demand for car rental. By booking online, you can avoid any unpleasant surprises after you arrive at your destination. Both with the car itself and with its rent.
It is better to book a car at least one and a half months before the trip. As the required date approaches, the number of available offers is reduced, and the cost of the remaining models increases. If plans change and the trip is postponed, then you can cancel the rental without any sanctions 2 days before it starts.
Which car to choose
Choose a car according to the purpose of your trip. You can drive around the city and its surroundings in a compact car Citroen C1 or VW Polo. These models are the most popular with our customers in Toronto Airport.
In the mountains, more powerful transport will be required. Pay attention to the volume of the engine - it must be more than 1.6 liters. An all-wheel drive crossover would be ideal. Peugeot 308 Estate will cost €43 per day. By the way, before leaving, do not forget to refuel with a margin. On the rises, the fuel goes one and a half to two times more. Gas stations in mountain villages are rare.
What you need to pay attention to at the time of receiving a car
Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery. You should check the ignition and the fuel level in the tank. You need to know the conditions for returning the car - where exactly, with what amount of fuel to return the car.
The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company. It is designed so that customers can get help in emergency situations, such as when a car breaks down or in the event of an accident. A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.
Insurance recommendations
Rental companies in Toronto Airport may offer different insurance options. They differ in price and set of options. Here are the basic types:
Third Party Liability (TPL)/Third Liability Protection (TLP). This is a third party liability protection. If you are the culprit of an accident, the insurance will compensate for the costs of the victims for you.
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). This is to protect your vehicle from any damage. She works with a franchise. This is the amount that you will have to pay in case of damage in any case. The company will cover anything over the limit. The insurance does not cover theft.
Theft Insurance (TI)/Theft Protection (TP)/Theft Waiver (TW). This is car theft protection. Operates with a franchise.
Super Loss Damage Waiver (SLDW)/Theft Protection+Collision Damage Waiver (TP+CDW). Full protection against theft and damage, even if you are the culprit of the accident.
Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). This is medical insurance for the driver and passengers.
If you want to save money and choose the cheapest insurance, carefully inspect the car upon receipt. Make sure the machine is not damaged.
Fuel prepayment terms
For trips over long distances, it is better to choose the option with the already included payment for a full tank. If you have a short trip, then this service is inappropriate. Be sure to read the fuel policy before making a booking:
If necessary, use the special filter to select the most convenient option for you.
Mileage without limits
Before renting a car, you should check with the rental company if there is a limit on the daily mileage for a car. Typically, tourists use a rental car to travel not only around the city, but also to travel to neighboring cities and even countries. If such a restriction exists, it is recommended to choose a rental option where there is no limit. In this case, the total cost of mileage will be lower, since you will not have to pay extra for exceeding the mileage. On our site, in the search results, check the filter "Unlimited mileage" to see the offers you need.
Compare prices and conditions from different car rental companies
When choosing a rental car in Toronto Airport, you should carefully read all the terms of the rental. This is due to the fact that different companies may differ not only in rental prices, but also in conditions for limiting mileage, the cost of additional services, and the amount of the deposit. To compare rental conditions, it is convenient to use the search and booking system on our website.
How to choose a rental company
Pay attention to the car park. Large and reliable companies regularly buy new cars.
Our clients name the top companies in Toronto Airport - ROUTES with an average rating 9 points and GREEN MOTION with 9 points.
We show all the rental conditions of different companies. Read the rules carefully before booking a car.
Car pick-up procedure
You should show a voucher and personal documents. A manager draws up a lease agreement. The deposit is blocked on the card.
Before leaving the rental, turn on the ignition, find out the amount of fuel and compare it with what is written in the contract.
Inspect the car carefully. Point out to the manager any paint chips and scuffs. The employee must record the damage. Take a photo yourself: they should show the defect, the number of the car and the employee of the rental company. This will help to avoid problems when returning the car: it will prove that it was not you who torn the upholstery or scratched the fender.
