Montreal Public-Transport information

Driving

With Montreal's efficient public transport system covering downtown, visitors should only need to rent a car to explore the beautiful surrounding Quebec countryside. Speed limits are between 80-110km per hour on highways and 50-70km per hour within cities and towns, with limits expressed in kilometres on road signs. Driving is on the right and you must overtake on the left. The driver and all passengers are obliged to wear seatbelts at all times. You are recommended to apply for an international driving licence to rent a car and drive in Canada if your licence is not written in English or French; otherwise a valid licence from your own country should be acceptable. It is best to check with the car hire company before travelling, though, to be on the safe side.

Rent a Car

Car rental companies generally insist on drivers being over 25 and if they do rent out vehicles to drivers under this age, they tend to demand high surcharges to cover insurance. Rental companies almost always request a credit card for payment. You can usually obtain discounts for weekends and long-term rentals, but bear in mind that it can be difficult to find a car during holiday periods, so it is worth booking ahead. click here to find a great deal on car rentals in Montreal.

Taxis

Taxis are available from taxi ranks, hotels and also to be hailed on the street. Taxi fares start at CAD2.50 and rise at approximately CAD1.25 per kilometre. It is customary in Montreal to leave the driver a 10% tip.
