For 4 people with a bag each at Toronto Airport, choose an Intermediate car, the Volkswagen Jetta size, averaging $54 a day for November 2026 when booked around a month before your trip.

A Fullsize car, the Chevrolet Malibu size, costs $70 a day for November 2026 and still takes 4 bags, so moving up does not add luggage capacity.
