Are you planning to explore Montreal by car? Or maybe you are thinking of escaping the city and exploring the Rocky Mountains?

Before you book your car rental, here is quick guide to the different sizes of vehicle that are available.
This is usually suitable for up to five passengers. The cars can be either two-door or four-door, and are generally smaller models. The advantage of renting a compact car is the cheaper prices and improved gas mileage. However, you and your passengers will have limited space, with the trunk usually fitting just one suitcase. If you have excess luggage, this may not be the car size for you.
What compact or economy cars do our car rental partners offer? Kia Rio, Chevrolet Spark, or the Hyundai Accent.
Perfect for: Driving cities like Toronto or Vancouver.
If you feel like an economy car is too small, try for a mid-size vehicle instead. These vehicles are suitable for five passengers. Gas mileage is not as good as it is with a compact car, but you will have increased room for luggage in a mid-size vehicle.
What intermediate or standard cars do our car rental partners offer? VW Jetta, Hyundai Elentra and Toyota Corolla.
Perfect for: Navigating city roads, especially if you plan to have more passengers or need more luggage space.

Perfect for: Driving and exploring the countryside.
Whether you are heading to an important meeting, or just looking to travel with an additional level of comfort, consider renting a luxury vehicle. Luxury vehicles generally have adequate storage space and comfortable seating.

If a full-size or SUV car does not provide enough space, consider renting a passenger van. Depending on the model, vans can seat up to seven passengers, and provide ample storage space. If you're looking to specially rent a car to move equipment across town, a minivan might be a good option.
