Can I smoke in your cars?
Our entire fleet is non-smoking. We ask that you respect this and please consider smoking outside of our car rentals to avoid a shampooing fee.

Your car rental cancellation must be submitted one week in advance of the pick-up time to avoid a full rental charge. Cancellation must be done via phone or e-mail.
Can I have more than one driver for the vehicle?

Your rental car will come fuelled and should be returned with the exact level of gas as rented to avoid a fee.

Toronto & Etobicoke
Is Etobicoke the same as Toronto?
Etobicoke is part of Toronto. It is Toronto's west-end. It is officially an administrative district of Toronto. Etobicoke is one of six municipalities that amalgamated to become the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Etobicoke is bordered on the south by Lake Ontario, on the east by the Humber River, on the west by Etobicoke Creek, the city of Mississauga, and the Toronto Pearson International Airport (a small portion of the airport actually extends into Etobicoke itself). Etobicoke is bordered on the north by Steeles Avenue West. You can read more about Etobicoke

How do you pronounce Etobicoke?
If you are new to the area we know this can be confusing 🙂
Etobicoke is pronounced "eht-oh-bic-oh".
Listen to it here. Hint: The last two letters are silent.
The name "Etobicoke" means "place where the alders grow". The name is derived from the Mississauga word
wah-do-be-kang (
wadoopikaang). This was how the Mississauga peoples described the area between Etobicoke Creek and the Humber River. Etobicoke was adopted as the official name in 1795.
