Canadian renting car in US and travelling back to Canada

[blackham]

i heard some US car rentals don't let us to drive the car back to canadian border

how do they enforce it? do they work with the border agents? are they any companies that let us drive whereever we want?

Some companies will allow you to drive almost where ever you want while others may be geographic limitations on how far you can drive with their 'unlimited' miles.

Crossing borders gets a bit more tricky... some companies will and other won't. However, i believe there is also a law on the Canadian books that a Canadian citizen can't rent a car in the US and drive it over the border back into Canada. I'm not sure why this law exists but i've seen it mentioned numerous times.

Many rentals are now equipped with GPS and/or lo-jack type devices which can alert the rental agency when the car is taken outside of the geographical boundaries.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

You're right, and I'm screwed :) well its an expensive lesson learned

by far the weirdest law I've encountered, but I'm sure they have their reasons

If you've made a rental car purchase thru PRICELINE or HOTWIRE can you please share the details of your purchase with the board.

Thanks.
