Renting a Car in Ontorio/Toronto

[ummi]

Can anyone please advice about renting a car for few days in Toronto. I heard there are many hidden taxes and surcharges.
Any idea how to deal and is it safe to take a cheap online deal??

Thanks in advance

They have the best deals that I know of, no hidden fees, etc. I have used them 3 times after flying into Pearson, never had any problems.

you can try discunt car as well - http://www.discountcar.com/

If you have VISA GOLD card then you can decline the insurance and save some money. If you use VISA GOLD card to reserve the car the insurance is covered by them. Please call the customer service of your card company and get this confirmed before doing the booking.

Agreed. I have never purchased insurance from a rental car company, because I always pay with my VISA card. And if not that, my auto insurance covers car rentals, and the best deductible they can offer is the same as my auto insurance, so I saw no point in paying extra. Definitely check with your card issuer or current insurance to see what they offer before making a decision.

If not that, you just need to decide what you are comfortable with. In my opinion (please don't everybody start hating), some Toronto-area drivers are the most dangerous-crazy-unskilled drivers I have ever seen. They don't understand the basic rules of the road, and cause avoidable accidents.

With this in mind, make sure you have the best insurance you can afford.
