Dollar is cheapest at Toronto Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging £39 a day over the last 12 months from 1,840 prices, but you need to check whether your chosen car accepts a debit card. Dollar has an airport desk and scores 88/100 from 51 reviews. Dollar holds a deposit of around £531 and accepts debit cards for some cars only. If debit-card acceptance matters, compare Alamo: its Intermediate cars average £66 a day over the last 12 months from 3,230 prices, and its desk accepts debit cards.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Dollar scores 88/100 from 51 reviews and averages a 21-minute wait, so compare Dollar if price matters more to you than the highest score.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

At Toronto Airport, allow for Hertz's average 45-minute desk wait and check card restrictions before booking, because either can delay you getting on the road. If you have a fixed appointment after landing, compare that wait with Alamo's 19 minutes rather than planning an immediate departure. 4 of the 9 desks require a credit card, so do not arrive relying on a debit card without checking your supplier. Dollar, Thrifty and Hertz accept debit cards for some cars only, so confirm the rule for the car you select.

For 4 people with 4 bags, choose an Intermediate car, such as a Volkswagen Jetta, at Toronto Airport: around £41 a day in November 2026 when booked around a month before your trip. It seats 5 but takes 4 bags, so a full car cannot accommodate a bag for every person. At that lead time, a Compact car such as a Nissan Versa averages £38 a day but takes only 3 bags; a Fullsize car such as a Chevrolet Malibu averages £53 and still takes only 4 bags. 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you do not need to move up a class just to get an automatic gearbox. Electric cars are 1% of cars offered and there are no hybrids, so keep other fuel types in your search if you want a broad choice.
