About Renting a Car at Montreal LaSalle

LaSalle is a southwestern part of Montreal located directly on the St. Lawrence River with three agencies serving the area. From here, you can reach Montreal's downtown in 20 minutes via Autoroute 15 north, and Pont Mercier takes you to Kahnawake and Châteauguay on the South Shore in just 10 minutes.

LaSalle's location along Boulevard Newman makes it easy to pick up a car without navigating the downtown core. LaSalle borders Verdun to the east and Lachine to the west, with Parc des Rapides along the riverbank being a popular natural area. Lachine Canal Historic Site is reached in a 15-minute drive east and offers cycling paths and historic locks.

Airport YUL is 12 km north via Autoroute 15, a drive of 15–20 minutes. Choose LaSalle as your starting point if you plan to explore the Montérégie region south of Montreal – Pont Mercier saves time compared to driving through downtown. Three agencies offer competitive prices; compare especially for weekend rentals.

Avoid Pont Champlain during morning rush hour – queues can extend your drive to downtown by 20–30 minutes. How do I get from LaSalle to Montreal's downtown? Drive north on Autoroute 15 or Boulevard LaSalle/De La Vérendrye – it takes 20–25 minutes for the 12 km to downtown depending on traffic.

Can I drive the rental car to the USA from LaSalle? Yes, the border with New York State at Champlain is 65 km south via Autoroute 15, a drive of approximately 50 minutes. Check the agency's rules regarding border crossing.

What attractions can I easily reach with a rental car from LaSalle? Parc des Rapides and Lachine Canal are reached in under 15 minutes. Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville is 35 km east, and Montérégie wineries approximately 60 km south.
