Canada is the perfect destination for a unique holiday, offering so much to see and do. Collecting a hire car is the ideal way to explore these vast lands, from the breathtaking rocky mountains, skiing in Whistler and Banff or relaxing in Gaspé - a beautiful peninsula in Québec. Practice your French in Montreal and enjoy some poutine, a Canadian dish consisting of french fries and cheese curds topped with a light brown gravy-like sauce. Canada is perfect for many different age groups and there's nothing more relaxing than being able to collect a hire car and explore these unique lands at your own pace.

We work with the top suppliers in Canada to provide you with the best service and price. If you need a compact car for your Canadian drive or a minivan for your family holiday to the ski fields, DriveAway has the perfect rental car for you. The choices are endless and so is the road.
