KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Oakville

  • Choosing car hire in Oakville offers several advantages. Compared to alternative transport options, hiring a car provides greater flexibility and freedom to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace. Oakville boasts attractions like Bronte Creek Provincial Park and Oakville Harbour, which are more accessible with a hired car. Having a car also allows you to venture outside the city to places like the Royal Botanical Gardens. Enjoy the convenience and independence of exploring Oakville and its scenic surroundings with your hire car.
  • The nearest major airport serving Oakville is Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). At Toronto Pearson International Airport, car hire desks for companies like Avis, Hertz and Enterprise can be found in the designated Car Rental area, which is located on Level 1 of the airport's parking garages. After completing the car hire paperwork at the respective desk, you can proceed to the parking garages on Level 2 parking to collect your hire car.
  • In Oakville, the driving style is generally calm and relaxed. Drivers tend to follow traffic rules and regulations, making it a safe and pleasant environment for driving. Most drivers respect the rules of the road, including speed limits and traffic signals. Oakville is a bike-friendly city, and you'll often encounter bicycles on the roads, especially in residential areas and along dedicated cycling routes.

While jaywalking can occur occasionally, pedestrians generally follow designated cross walks and traffic signals.

Waleed, May 2020

Pros:

First the staff told me they would pick me up from the location I was at and then later told me they are not doing that anymore. No one ever told me that the location I instructed to drop off the location was closed. So I had to drive over 100km to drop off the car. The rental company put some other location in the drop off location.

Cons:

It would be nice if this location would not jerk their customers around.
