To land the best price on a Laval car hire, book in advance. Rates generally rise as your travel dates approach, and last-minute availability isn't always guaranteed.
Check out the offers available with Enterprise, Hertz and Avis. They rank among the city's most trusted providers.
The coverage Enterprise or another company includes with your Laval car hire can vary, so always go over the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra fee.
Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to pick up a bargain if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Find the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'
Cut down on fuel costs by choosing a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up your ride with a full tank and drop it off full, so you only pay for what you use.
Hit the road without tracking every mile and racking up extra charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and pick 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you drive as far as you want.

Travelling with kids? Child car seat laws vary by location, and the correct setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Laval car hire booking.
You'll need to show some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
