Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Montreal?

Accepted Answer

There's nothing as fun as a road trip, especially when you're journeying someplace as awesome as Montreal. With bucket-list sights like Notre Dame Basilica and Saint Joseph's Oratory, there's so much to see and so little time. That's where a rental car will help. You'll be able to explore many more places — but select something small for easy city driving, like a mini. If you're unwilling to tackle the urban jungle, Monteregie is full of diverse landscapes. Trade the nifty runabout for something bigger, like a four-wheel drive, and explore picture-perfect mountains.
