What Should I Do If I Get into an Accident with a Rental Car in Canada?
Immediately ensure everyone's safety and call 911 if there are injuries. Contact the local police to file a report. Gather information from any other parties involved. Then, notify your car rental agency from YRO Airport as soon as it is safe to do so and follow their specific instructions for reporting the incident and handling the vehicle.

What Should a First-Timer Know About Fueling a Rental Car in Canada?
Most rental agencies at YRO operate on a 'full-to-full' policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. Fuel in Canada is sold by the liter, not the gallon, and most gas stations are self-service. Always confirm the correct fuel type for your vehicle before pumping to prevent any issues. You can usually find this information on the fuel cap or in the car's manual.

How Can You Avoid Hidden Car Rental Fees in Ottawa?
To avoid surprise charges, carefully review your rental agreement. Understand the fuel policy—refilling the tank yourself is usually cheapest. Decline the expensive Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) if your personal insurance or credit card offers coverage. Document any pre-existing vehicle damage before you leave the lot, and be aware of potential fees for tolls, extra drivers, or GPS units.

Ottawa Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips for American travelers exploring Canada's capital

Can I drive in Ottawa with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
US citizens can legally drive in Ontario with a valid US driver's license—no IDP is legally required. However, an IDP ($20-25 via AAA) is strongly recommended as a backup, especially if your license doesn't have a photo or English text. Rental agencies may have their own policies, so call ahead. Quebec and other provinces may have different rules if you're road-tripping beyond Ontario.
How much is the 'young driver surcharge' for renters under 25 in Ottawa?
Expect to pay $25-35 CAD per day extra if you're under 25. Some agencies charge higher (up to $50/day) for drivers under 21. This surcharge applies to all major chains (Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget). If you're exactly 21-24, compare rates carefully—Budget and Dollar sometimes have lower young driver fees. You can save $100+ over a week by booking with a younger-driver-friendly agency.
Do I need winter tires to drive in Ottawa, and when?
Yes—winter tires are mandatory in Ontario from December 1 through March 31. If you're renting December-March, ask your rental agency for snow tires (usually $15-25 CAD/day). All-season tires are not a legal substitute. Watch for black ice on Highway 417 and the Queensway—these are the city's main arteries and get slippery fast. Budget an extra 30 minutes for winter driving conditions.
Are there highway tolls in Ottawa, and how do I pay them?
Highway 417 through Ottawa is free, but the Highway 407 ETR (Express Toll Route) running east of Toronto is a fully electronic toll road—rentals with transponders charge $15-25 CAD for the device plus tolls ($0.40-0.70/km). If you're driving from Toronto, either avoid 407 (take Highway 401 instead) or set aside $30-50 CAD for tolls. Don't rent a transponder unless you specifically need it—cash/unmarked rentals get billed by plate recognition at higher rates.
How expensive is parking downtown Ottawa?
Downtown parking runs $3-4 CAD/hour at street meters (coins or the PayByPhone app) or $15-30 CAD/day in garages. The Parliament Hill area and ByWard Market have meters Mon-Sat 9am-6pm, free after that and all day Sunday. If you're staying near the airport (YOW), daily long-term parking is about $18-22 CAD/day—book online for ~15% off. Avoid parking on residential streets overnight; street cleaning tickets are $60 CAD.
What's the gas/fuel situation—柴油 or 汽油, and does Ottawa have full-service stations?
All rental cars in Canada run on regular gasoline (87 octane, ~91-93 AKI). Diesel is rare in passenger rentals—check your contract if you see a 'Diesel' label. Gas prices in Ottawa fluctuate; expect to pay $1.40-1.80 CAD/liter (roughly $5.30-6.80 CAD/gallon). Most stations are self-serve. Costco Gas near Hunt Club and Kanata offers the cheapest fuel, typically $0.05-0.10 CAD/L below average. Fill up before heading to ski resorts in the Gatineaus—stations are sparse there.
