Concord Car Rental & Driving FAQs

What US Travelers Need to Know Before Hitting the Road in Ontario

Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in Concord with a US driver's license?
No IDP is required for US citizens. Your valid US driver's license plus a passport (or Enhanced Driver's License) is enough at all major agencies in Vaughan. Bring a credit card in your own name and plan on at least one year of driving history—Enterprise and Hertz at YYZ will refuse you otherwise.
How do I pay tolls on Highway 407 near Concord? Can I use cash?
Highway 407 ETR is fully electronic with no booths and no cash option. Cameras read your plate and the rental company bills you later, usually adding a $3.50–$4.50 CAD admin fee per trip on top of actual tolls. If you stick to Hwy 400 and Hwy 401, you'll avoid tolls completely.
Are winter tires mandatory in Ontario, and what happens if I skip them?
Not legally required in Ontario (unlike Quebec), but strongly recommended from November through April. The GTA averages 50+ cm of snow and frequent black ice on Hwy 400 and Hwy 404. Expect to pay $10–15 CAD/day for winter tires through your rental agency—worth it for any trip north of Barrie.
I'm 23—how much extra will I pay as a young driver in Concord?
Plan on a $20–30 CAD/day young driver surcharge if you're under 25. Most major agencies at Pearson won't rent to anyone under 21 at all. Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise all enforce this strictly, so budget for it when comparing quotes online.
Can I pick up at Toronto Pearson (YYZ) and drop off in Concord, or vice versa?
Yes, one-way drop-offs are routine. Expect a $50–$150 CAD fee depending on agency and timing. Pearson is only 15–20 minutes south of Concord via Hwy 427 N. After-hours pickups (before 6am or after midnight) add $25–$50, so confirm counter hours before booking a red-eye flight.
