Especially when visiting in winter, a 4-wheel-drive car is recommended to get better traction. When driving mainly within the city, a compact car is a wise choice, as it will fit into more parking spots and take up less space on the road.

Remember that the metric system is used in Canada and general regulations allow up to 50 km/h (31 mph) in residential areas, but only 30 km/h (18 mph) in school zones. On rural roads outside the city limits, 80 km/h (49 mph) is allowed, while 100 km/h (62 mph) is the speed limit on highways. Speed limits are strictly enforced in Ontario so make sure to stick to them.
