KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Niagara Falls

  • What better way to explore the Canadian natural wonder of Niagara Falls than with your own transport? Cheap car hire in Niagara Falls will offer the opportunity to not only explore one of the most visited tourist sites in the world but also put you close enough to New York to take an amazing weekend drive to the Big Apple. Drive up to Niagara on the Lake and see this peaceful region and make sure you stop at a few of Ontario’s famous winelands too. Wherever your cheap Niagara Falls car hire itinerary takes you, you will be in for one of the most impressive trips of your life.
  • When choosing cheap Niagara Falls car hire, you will find two primary companies based in the city: Budget and Avis. If you are flying into the region, you may make use of Pearson International Airport (YYZ). Here you will find car hire companies such as Thrifty, Payless, Dollar and others. The airport is based just under 2 hours from Niagara Falls by car. Alternatively, Toronto Island Airport (YTZ) is also about the same distance away and has an Avis, Budget and EZ Rent-A-Car on site.
  • Driving your cheap car hire in Niagara Falls is a great solution for making the most out of this region. When you are driving in Canada, you will always drive on the right-hand side of the road. You will be expected to be patient, and with so many motorways and expressways in the Niagara Falls surrounds, you will definitely need to be comfortable before setting off in your Niagara Falls car hire. The law requires seatbelts at all times and the blood alcohol limit of 0.08% is enforced. While Canadian drivers may be patient and polite, the area of Niagara Falls is a very tourist-heavy region, meaning locals are not the only ones on the roads.
  • When driving Niagara Falls car hire, you will find the primary challenge is peak-season tourism traffic. The main road taking you to the falls will be Queen Elizabeth Way, and Niagara Parkway and Falls Avenue are all affected very badly by congestion. A GPS is advisable to reduce your time on the road. Niagara Falls has extreme weather in winter, with snow and sleet being a reality. If you are visiting in colder months, ensure you are very comfortable driving on Canadian roads.
  • Book your car hire in Niagara Falls at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Niagara Falls are around 3% cheaper than other car types, on average

Customer service was good. Was told if I brought it back a couple hours past due I'd be charged 30 bucks an hour. I was charged for another whole day. Wasn't sure what the problem was.

I liked the vehicle. Did not like the employee as he was not there when he was supposed to be. When he did show up he didn't apologize just carried on with this routine. People were waiting. The location doesn't answer the phone. Not a good experience.
