Car Rental in London Center

London, Ontario, is one of Canada's ten largest cities with approximately 400,000 residents, located halfway between Toronto (190 km east) and Windsor (190 km west) along Highway 401. With five rental companies in the city center, you have a wide selection of cars and prices. London is an excellent hub for exploring southwestern Ontario, including Niagara Falls (approximately 2 hours) and Algonquin Park (approximately 4 hours).

London is called 'The Forest City' thanks to its park-filled neighborhoods and Thames River that flows through the center. Richmond Row is the city's pulse with restaurants and entertainment, and Western University gives the city a youthful energy. Eldon House, built in 1834, is London's oldest home and a popular historical attraction.

Drive to Point Pelee National Park, approximately 150 km south – Canada's southernmost mainland point and a world-renowned birdwatching paradise. Niagara Falls is approximately 2 hours' drive east via QEW – combine it with a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake and wineries. Avoid Highway 401 during rush hour on Friday afternoons – choose alternative routes via Highway 2 for a more relaxed drive.
