How to find a cheap car hire deal in Mississauga

  • Turn the key on your trip with a cheap rental car in Mississauga. With prices averaging Rs30,668 a day, it's an easy win for your budget and your plans. From zippy compacts to power-packed SUVs, we'll match you with your ideal ride at a price that fits.

  • The cheapest daily price for a rental in Mississauga is Rs4,290.

  • Planning an extended stay and want to explore beyond the main attractions? Rs21,717 is the lowest rate for a weekly rental.

  • Walk away with the best price on a Mississauga car hire by booking in advance. You're more likely to get the best value with the most choice.

  • Browse the offers available with Green Motion, Zoom and Hertz. They rank among the city's most trusted providers.

  • Whether you go with Green Motion or another supplier, make sure you understand the coverage on your Mississauga car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as a paid add-on.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to cheaper deals. Select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often need to move vehicles between locations, which means you can score some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Mississauga.

  • Spend less on fuel by picking a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect your ride with a full tank and bring it back full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Travel without limits by choosing a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, it means you can go as far as you like with no extra cost.

Compare car hire types in Mississauga

  • Small: Whether you're zipping around the city or simply planning a quick trip, this car category offers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can expect easy handling and great mileage.

  • Medium: Not too big, not too small, it's the definition of just right. Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they offer a mix of interior space and fuel efficiency and are suited to small families and couples.

  • Large: You've got the kids, the toys, the bags, the works. Large vehicles have got the capacity to pack it all in without breaking a sweat. Ideal for long-distance journeys, this Mississauga car hire category includes full-size cars.

  • SUV: Enjoy a higher driving position and a better view of what's ahead in an SUV. Whether you're carving through winding trails or cruising along wide-open highways, many come with all-wheel drive to keep you steady on any road.

  • Van: If you're searching for a car for rent in Mississauga that fits a small crowd (and all their stuff), a van has space to spare. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're a great choice for group trips, moving or business use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Mississauga car hire gives you peace of mind. It protects you from paying a hefty excess fee in case of theft or damage. Insurance policies can differ from one provider to another, so compare before you commit.

  • From navigation systems to reverse cameras, the right extras can make all the difference. Weigh up which features could make your trip more comfortable when you rent a car in Mississauga.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the terms set by each supplier before booking your car hire in Canada.

  • Planning a trip with the kids? Child car seat laws vary from one place to another, and the right setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Be sure to add the right one to your Mississauga car hire booking.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: your physical driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Canada.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's usually around 45kph in urban areas and 95kph or so on highways. Always follow the posted signs.

  • In Canada, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. If you intend to have a few drinks, leave the driving to someone else or take another form of transport.

  • Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid busy hours generally for a smoother drive.

  • You'll be using the Canadian dollar (CAD) here. Along with your debit and credit cards, consider bringing some cash for minor purchases.

  • English is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.

Best hotels in Mississauga for drivers

  • Pull in, drop your bags, and start relaxing at Quality Inn & Suites. Offering parking as well as internet access and express check-in, this hotel is about 10 kilometres from central Mississauga.

  • Residence Inn by Marriott Toronto Mississauga Southwest is also a smart pick if a few road trips are on your itinerary. It features parking, along with air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. Base yourself here and you'll be roughly 8 kilometres from the city centre.
