What's the age requirement to rent a car in Quebec?

Usually, to rent a car in Quebec you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the country. If you are under 25, you might also need to pay a surcharge. Be sure to read over the rental agreement to discover what the total will be before you book your car.

Will I need insurance to get a car rental in Quebec?

Insurance is always needed, wherever you're renting a car. However, your current car insurance may cover you. Additionally, if you pay for the rental in full using your credit card, the card's benefits may also insure you.

Know before you go

Before you begin on your Quebec trip, make sure you go over a few items prior to leaving the lot. It's important to:

• Walk around your car and make sure there is no dents or scratches. If you notice any, mark it down on the paperwork
• Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is properly inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the navigation and entertainment. It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are driving around a new region
