This is a well-developed, modern city that doesn't require you to make any specific Guelph car hire choice. Get a vehicle that you're comfortable driving, with enough room for everyone. A city car or saloon will be more than adequate if you're going to spend most of your time in the downtown area and surrounding central neighbourhoods. The roads outside the city lend themselves well to road trips, in which case you might consider a roomier MPV if you're visiting with your family, or even a luxury or sports model if you really love driving.
The speed limit in urban areas of Guelph is 50 km/h, unless the signage indicates otherwise. For example, the limit in the central area of Guelph have been reduced to 40 km/h as part of the city's traffic-calming policies. Once you're outside built-up areas, you can drive at up to 80 km/h. On freeways, the speed limit is 100 km/h. Do pay attention to these regulations, as the local police are on the ball and might not be as forgiving as those back home.
There are plenty of car parks in downtown Guelph, run by the municipality. They're open from 08:00 – 18:00 and all charge the same rate of about C$3.00 per hour (roughly ₹185), up to a maximum of around C$30.00 (about ₹1850) per day. These are the East and West Parkades (as car parks are known here), the Fountain Lot and the Market Parkade. On-street parking in central Guelph is free for up to 2 hours. Just note that you aren't allowed to leave a vehicle parked overnight in the downtown district.

Pros:
I had never heard of Driving Force before, but my fiancé had smashed our car & I needed to find us something to rent quickly after the insurance cut off our rental car. The service was a great price, especially for my last minute booking, the car was clean & new and the employees were polite & friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their company.Cons:
The only negative part of the experience was that there was a tiny piece of glass on the floor in the back seat that hadn't been noticed before it was given to me. Other than that, the car had clearly just been detailed and cleaned very well.2 locations in Guelph

Pros:
The drop off was easyCons:
I feel that the booking online wasn’t clear. I thought the price I paid online was great, but when I showed up at the site, the insurance wasn’t included. (I thought I had paid for that online) There were people behind me and I didn’t have time then to check out other options, so I had to pay the current price they had for insurance, which pretty much doubled my price of the rental. So I wasn’t too pleased when I showed up to pick up the car and discovered my car rental cost pretty much doubled for the 5 days that I rented the car :(4.0 Mediocre

Pros:
We had a Chevy Impala. It was a nice driveCons:
Price was not what we were quoted - we changed pickup locations and the price jumped from $199CDN for three days to $288CDN for three days, but we were not informed of this until we were nearly finished with check in. This is an egregious oversight. Also, windows were dirty inside (foot prints on the passenger side windshield...). Pickup took a long time as they were quite busy with only two people working the counter. Very unhappy with all of the above, especially the attitude of the counter clerk when I questioned the price. He pointed to the computer screen and said this is what the contract says. I pointed to my printout and said this is what my contract says. Eventually we gave in because we needed transportation and we had a wedding to get to. We feel cheated.9.6 Wonderful

Some Guelph car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Guelph.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Guelph car hire.
