The city is modern with well-kept roads and plenty of space. Your choice of vehicle depends on your needs. Companies offering car rental in Windsor have a wide variety of vehicles available. If you're travelling alone, consider a smaller, more compact car that's easier to navigate and lighter on fuel. Travelling in a large group or planning long road trips? Renting an SUV is always a popular choice.
The speed limit in Windsor is the same as the national speed limit in Ontario, so keep your speed at 50 km/h or below when driving within the city limits or other built-up areas. Areas around schools or other places with children often have a limit of 30 km/h, but there will be signs indicating this. If you're on the outskirts of the city on open roads, the limit is usually 80 km/h, while major highways and motorways are between 100 km/h and 110 km/h. Pay attention to the signposts as the speed limit can change quickly, especially when driving from the open road into the city.
Finding free parking in Windsor can be difficult, but not impossible. There is often free on-street parking available along Springfield Road, Green Lane, and Bulkeley Avenue near the city centre. There are also car parks near the city centre where you can park for free from 9pm until 9am every day. Outside of these, there is on-street parking governed by parking meters throughout the centre of Windsor, as well as car parks that'll give you a ticket on entry and you'll pay for the time spent before getting back to your vehicle.

Pros:
NothingCons:
I found out that the reservation was not st DTW, but rather at a smaller regional airport and, though on the phone the representative was very kind and transferred the reservation for no charge, at DTW the representative would not honor that and insisted on doubling the rate. So I left and rented from Thrifty.2.0 Poor

Jul 2017
Pros:
The agent was very nice with the transaction.Cons:
It took me at least an hour to get my car. There were 3 agents working. Since I was doing a turn around flight this utilized far too much of my needed time. This was the LONGEST I've ever had to wait and get a car and the issue wasn't stock. There were plenty of cars on hand.2.0 Poor
Oct 2015
Pros:
Nothing!Cons:
I booked a car through Kayak to be available to me when I landed at the Detroit Airport. The car I reserved, for some reason, is not at the Detroit Airport. It's in Windsor Ontario. And the great price I received was in Canadian dollars so it wasn't so great after all. And when I attempted to contact customers service, there is none to be found. Nice job Kayak!One location in Windsor

Aug 2016
Pros:
It had wheelsCons:
The car was dirty and rattled with every little bump in the road. But the most annoying issues was that the car charger didn't work therefore my gps died and I was lost 20 miles from my destination. I called alamo and they said no problem, just go to the nearest alamo to swap cars. Well... the nearest alamo was 50 miles away. Impossible to do, i was in the area on business. Ended up having to spend $150 for a new gps that would plug into the USP port. Very dissatisfied all around. Never again.....2 locations in Windsor

Nov 2018
Cons:
I made a reservation a week in advance, but the car wasn't there when I showed up because someone else extended their rental, and they had no other sedans at all! Had to go with a different company and pay more.2.0 Poor
Jul 2018
Cons:
I had reserved a vehicle through them. Three days before the reservation date I was emailed that to vehicle was over booked. I the email it said that they would like to offer me alternatives, but I was given zero and got the run around, oh and of course they were closed over the weekend when I got the email and I had to wait until a day before my trip to sort it out. No one helped at all, given zero alternatives, and just told to call priceline/discount company. I will never use them. Had to pay $500 more for a car since it was so close to when I needed it.5.6 Fair
Jun 2018
Pros:
Staff was great, helpfulCons:
I was surprised to find no rental counter at Windsor station, just a video kiosk marked Discount (not even Eurocar). After calling, it took 20 minutes for an agent to arrive to pick us up and drive us another 20 minutes to the rental counter, where we took another 20 minutes to finally get the car and be on our way. That was nowhere advertised or stated, so it came as a surprise. As a minimum, I would suggest their confirmation email ask us to call 15 minutes before arriving so the shuttle can be there. Or they could monitor the train arrival times and just be there when our train arrives. Then you need to drop the car to the rental office over an hour before the train. Something to keep in mind.6.0 Okay
Feb 2018
Pros:
Friendly staff willing to help and provide the best that organization has to offer.Cons:
Poorly maintained fleet of cars by the associates of Europcar Car Rentals i.e. Discount Car & Truck Rentals. Inability to appreciate the time of customer. Misleading the customer of the location of rental facility.2.0 Poor
Nov 2017
Pros:
Never going to try there againCons:
The fact that I booked my van rental two months in advance to make sure I had one for my trip and the day I was going to pick it up there was nothing available make me so mad. I was super lucky to have found a van with enterprise at the last minute! After that I will always rent from them. They have the best service!10.0 Wonderful

Some Windsor car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Windsor.
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 non-deductible option to your Windsor car hire.
