Rent a Car in Downtown Montreal

Park Extension (Parc-Extension) is a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood in northern Montreal with two rental agencies along Boulevard Décarie and Rue Jean-Talon. The neighborhood is strategically located with a 15-minute drive to downtown via Autoroute 15 and 10 minutes to Laval via Pont Viau. Proximity to Université de Montréal and Jean-Talon Market makes it a practical starting point.

Park Extension borders Outremont to the south, Ahuntsic to the north, and Côte-des-Neiges to the west, with Marché Jean-Talon just 1 km to the east. Parc Jarry – one of Montreal's larger urban parks – is located within the neighborhood. Autoroute 40 is quickly accessed via Rue Jean-Talon and leads east toward Quebec City in 2.5 hours.

Jean-Talon Market is a perfect stop before picking up your rental car – buy local provisions for a day trip. Two rental agencies offer limited selection; book at least a week in advance during the summer season. Street parking is free in the evenings along Rue Jarry and Boulevard Saint-Laurent – convenient for returns.
