About The Car Rental Place
Last updated Apr 27, 2026The Car Rental Place has been in business since 1984, making them one of Toronto's longest-operating independent car rental companies. Based on Dufferin Street in North York with a second location in Vaughan, they own their entire fleet rather than leasing — which means they can offer a wider range of vehicles, from exotic and luxury cars to practical vans and trucks. Their experience shows in their smooth rental process and clear policies. For anyone in the GTA who values the reliability of an established, family-run business with decades of local reputation, The Car Rental Place is a standout.

What Customers Say
3.8
Reviews highlight a polarized customer experience, with customers frequently praising the friendly staff, competitive pricing, and reliable vehicle availability, while others express serious concerns about billing disputes and unexpected charges. Positive reviews consistently mention excellent customer service from staff members, clean and well-maintained vehicles, and convenient services like customer pickup and drop-off. However, multiple negative reviews raise concerns about unauthorized credit card charges, disputed fuel and damage fees, and difficulties resolving billing issues, suggesting potential customers should carefully document vehicle conditions and monitor their statements closely.
Customer Highlights
They picked me up from my mechanic's shop and dropped me off back at my car when the repair was complete. The Corolla they rented to me was brand new, clean and had more options than a base model.
I needed a truck during a holiday, and Canada's most well-known uhaul didn't have any option for the time I wanted within 100kms.
More importantly, unlike most other rental places, e-mails were responded to promptly and the final bill was lower than we had anticipated with zero surprise charges.
