Car rentals London Ontario

Keep these driving tips in mind when you pick up your London Ontario Airport car rental.

• The route between London International Airport and the CBD is a straightforward one. After leaving the terminal, you’ll take Oxford Street East and follow it most of the way into town. Turn left onto Quebec Street, then right onto Queens Ave, which passes through the heart of the city.
• Proximity to the major 401 highway makes London very accessible from other Canadian hotspots.
• Traffic is worse than you might expect for a smaller city. You might find your drive held up at the river crossings, and around train tracks—as there is a number around the city. Wharncliffe Road is one place that can get congested, so be sure to allow extra time if your route takes you this way.
• In town, the city manages 20 parking lots around the CBD, but that figure only represents 20 per cent of the total parking areas available for your London car rental. While it may be easiest to book accommodation where you can park on site and walk through the city, note that you can also make use of free on-street parking after 6pm Monday to Friday from York Street to Queens Ave, and from Ridout to Wellington Street. All on-street spots also offer two free hours on Saturdays, and are free all day on Sundays.

For non-Canadian residents or people who are yet to secure a Canadian driver's license, their home country driver's license with an International Drivers Permit (IDP) must be carried for the entire rental period. The individual's home country license should also be a facially valid license, one which has the photo of the owner. Any temporary license or expired home state license will not be enough.
