Driving in Toronto: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You'll need your driver's license, passport, and a credit card to rent a car in Toronto.
Most visitors can use their regular license. You may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your license isn't in English. Rental companies also require matching ID and a credit card for the security deposit.
Navigating city driving
Toronto has wide roads, clear signs, and busy downtown streets.
Traffic moves steadily on main routes but slows near the Waterfront and Union Station. Navigation apps help you avoid one-way streets and guide you onto major roads such as the Gardiner Expressway.
Tolls, emissions zones, and charges
Toronto has no city tolls, but some nearby highways use toll lanes.
Highway 407 uses electronic tolling, billed automatically to your rental. The city has no emissions zones. Check rental company guidance if you plan to use toll routes or drive into surrounding areas.
Parking your car in Toronto
Parking is easiest in parking lots around downtown.
Street spaces fill quickly near major attractions. Public parking lots near the Eaton Centre and Union Station are reliable. Check signs carefully, as parking rules and time limits vary between streets.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Toronto are widespread.
Gas stations are common across the city. Toronto has many charging points in public parking lots, shopping areas, and suburbs. Apps like PlugShare help you check charger availability.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are steady, but downtown traffic can be busy.
Expect slower movement near streetcar routes and construction zones. Cyclists are common in the center, so take care when turning. Keep a consistent speed and be ready for frequent lane changes.
