When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Canada vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Canada are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Quebec, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
All cities in Canada are equipped with a large number of paid parking lots. There are both parking lots on surface and underground. Parking rules on free parking lots are quite complex. They can be read on special signs, installed in front of each parking lot. It is worth noting that the minimum fine for wrong parking is 20 Canadian dollars.
A large part of highways is free in Canada. Toll highways always have a back-road, by which it is possible to reach the place of destination free of charge.
There are a lot of cyclists on local roads, and this fact greatly complicates the traffic. Motorists should always control the situation. Quite often drivers of two-wheeled vehicles can move in the “dead zone”, so it is simply impossible to see them in the mirror. It is also worth considering that during the “rush hour” it may be very difficult to ride to a big road from a small street - the flow of traffic is very dense at this time.
