Airport Car Rental
Pick up a rental car at Toronto Pearson International Airport! Then go for a drive through Toronto’s neighborhoods. Make sure you check out the beautiful architecture downtown and don’t forget to visit some art galleries and museums like the Royal Ontario Museum or the Ontario Science Center.
There’s always a lot going on in Toronto—countless concerts, films, performances, and festivals. And thanks to its authentic Korean, Indian, Ukrainian, and Chinese restaurants (and many more!), this is where you’ll find some of the best food in North America.
Toronto’s a great place to visit, but the surrounding region has even more to offer, so why not get a rental car for a longer period? You can go to Niagara Falls or Montreal, drive to nearby American cities like Detroit or New York City, or even explore the Canadian north. Picking up your rental car at Toronto Airport and dropping it off in a different location is easy. So start planning your adventure now!

Green Motion is located further north along the same street (Dixie Road) and is right next to another station, an Esso station in this case.

Car is really useful depending on the type of travel you wish to do. Tips would be to travel off rush hour, and some defensive driving tips for the major highways. QEW, 401 and other roads can be challenging for people not used to these types of roads, and the style of driving with all the collector lanes. Having GPS on your phone is a huge asset.
