About Renting a Car at Toronto Center
Toronto Downtown is the city's pulse with CN Tower, Rogers Centre, Scotiabank Arena, and the financial district within a 1 km radius. With 6 rental providers spread along Bay Street, Front Street, and in connection with Union Station, you have plenty of options for picking up your rental car. From here you can reach Highway 401 in 10 minutes and easily plan excursions to all of Ontario.
The core is formed by the intersection of Bay Street and King Street West, 500 m from Union Station. The PATH network connects most office buildings underground, but with a rental car, Gardiner Expressway is your fastest route out of the city. Eaton Centre and Yonge-Dundas Square are 1 km to the north.
Parking garages in Toronto Downtown cost 30–50 CAD per day – choose one outside the Financial District for better prices. Avoid Gardiner Expressway during morning and evening rush hours. Book a rental car with unlimited kilometers if you plan longer trips to, for example, Algonquin Park (280 km to the north).
