About Renting a Car at La Tuque Center
La Tuque is a small town in the Mauricie region of Quebec, located along the Saint-Maurice River about 160 km north of Trois-Rivières. With a rental car from the center you can easily reach Parc national du Saint-Maurice and the surrounding forests offering canoeing, fishing, and skiing. A rental car is almost essential here as public transportation is very limited.
La Tuque is known as the gateway to the wild Haute-Mauricie region with hundreds of lakes and rivers. The town center along Rue Commerciale houses local shops and restaurants, and in winter the area attracts visitors with dog sledding and snowmobile trails directly from town. Book a rental car well in advance – supply is limited with only one rental company in the town.
Fill up in La Tuque before heading north – gas stations become scarcer the deeper into the forest you drive. Choose a car with high ground clearance if you plan to drive on gravel roads to remote fishing lakes. How far is the drive from La Tuque to Trois-Rivières?
It's about 160 km south along Route 155, which takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes by car. Can I rent a car and drive to Parc national du Saint-Maurice? Yes, the park is about 40 km south of La Tuque and takes about 30 minutes to drive to.
