Waterloo car rentals from $28/day

You’ll be treated to well-maintained roads in Waterloo and all of Ontario, so a simple, compact car is all most travellers need. Small economy vehicles are also ideal if you’re looking for cheap Waterloo car hire. If space is more of a priority than price, a sedan or SUV may be a better option. These give you more room for luggage while offering extra legroom for passengers at the same time.

Within the Waterloo city limits, you’ll find the speed limit is usually 40-50 km/h. Once you’re out on major motorways, like Highway 8 and Highway 7, the speed will generally be 100-110 km/h. Always keep an eye out for speed signs, and if you’re uncertain, default to the slower speed. Another thing to note is that, though it shares a border with the US, Canada operates on the metric system, so speed signs will be in kilometres, not miles.

Most hotels and serviced apartments, like Courtyard by Marriott Waterloo and Staybridge Suites Waterloo, offer free parking.

However, if you want to leave your vehicle all night, you’ll need to register online for overnight parking with the City of Waterloo. A map of all the available parking spaces and their time limits can also be obtained from the City of Waterloo website.
