Ottawa requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can hire a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal hire car rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.

Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pick-up date, check with your selected hire company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
