Can I rent a car from Macdonald-Cartier Intl. Airport (YOW)?

What do you need to rent a car in Ottawa?
Before you can road trip around Ottawa, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card.

Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.

Where can I find an Ottawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Ottawa rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
