KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waterloo

  • Waterloo is a picturesque city in Ontario, situated around 113 km east of Toronto. There are many smaller cities spanning out from Toronto, occupying the space between Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and Lake St Clair. Whether you wish to explore these cities, visit the great lakes, hike through the forests or enjoy the majesty of Niagara Falls, Waterloo car hire is an ideal way to discover this lush region of Canada.
  • Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) has one small terminal building that handles all international and domestic departures and arrivals. You’ll find the Waterloo car hire kiosks in the main lobby of the terminal building, and you’ll be able to pick your car up from the car park just outside. If you know what type of hire car you want in Waterloo, it’s best to book ahead, as this will give the hire company time to ensure they have the vehicle you want ready for you at the airport.
  • If you venture outside of the Waterloo city limits, you’ll encounter many different types of roads, from major motorways like Macdonald Cartier Freeway to tiny country roads like those leading into Algonquin Provincial Park or La Verendrye Wildlife Reserve. It’s important to be aware of your surroundings and the unique hazards they may present. Deer and moose generally won’t be a problem on the highways, but once you’re out on rural roads, you must adjust your expectations and your driving to match.
  • If you’ll be in Waterloo during late autumn, winter or early spring, it’s important to be prepared for colder conditions. If it’s snowing or the road is icy, you need to slow down. Fog lights can be used to improve visibility; however, they must not be switched on unless needed. If you’ll be heading out of the city limits during the colder months, be sure to bring a cell phone, charger, water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, blankets, warm clothes, a shovel, traction mats, a windscreen scraper for ice removal and jumper cables.

FAQs about car hire in Waterloo

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Waterloo?

    You’ll be treated to well-maintained roads in Waterloo and all of Ontario, so a simple, compact car is all most travellers need. Small economy vehicles are also ideal if you’re looking for cheap Waterloo car hire. If space is more of a priority than price, a sedan or SUV may be a better option. These give you more room for luggage while offering extra legroom for passengers at the same time.

  • What’s the speed limit in Waterloo?

    Within the Waterloo city limits, you’ll find the speed limit is usually 40-50 km/h. Once you’re out on major motorways, like Highway 8 and Highway 7, the speed will generally be 100-110 km/h. Always keep an eye out for speed signs, and if you’re uncertain, default to the slower speed. Another thing to note is that, though it shares a border with the US, Canada operates on the metric system, so speed signs will be in kilometres, not miles.

  • Where are the best places to park in Waterloo?

    Most hotels and serviced apartments, like Courtyard by Marriott Waterloo and Staybridge Suites Waterloo, offer free parking. You will generally find plenty of free 2h parking spaces in Waterloo on weekdays from 08:00 to 17:00. On weekends and from 17:00 to 03:00 on weekdays, parking in these spaces is free and untimed. However, if you want to leave your vehicle all night, you’ll need to register online for overnight parking with the City of Waterloo. A map of all the available parking spaces and their time limits can also be obtained from the City of Waterloo website.

We got a car, was difficult to get out of, we should have taken a SUV, we are seniors. The car was nice. The passenger seat was uncomfortable for the 1 1/2 hour drive.

Person at the front desk did not inform about the car having all season tires instead of winter tires according to the weather. On Wednesday we has freezing rain and resulted in car getting out of control on highway 401 traffic going at 100km. It resulted pretty bad as the car got out of control and started skidding and I don't know how I got saved from that situation. I informed the same guy at the desk and he just laughed about the complaint. After that, the guy at desk started talking about the mileage driven as how I was able to drive that much in 2 days and that was sure said in insulting manner.

Overall, it was good. The drop off location in Mississauga was inconvenient, since it is in a busy area. But other than that, it was a decent experience.

Some Waterloo 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 Waterloo.
