Montreal Car Rental-Best Places to Drive Your Rental Car in Montreal

Montreal is the metropolis of the province of Quebec. Quebec City is the political capital but Montreal is the cultural and economic capital of Quebec and the main entry point to the province. The second largest city in Canada, it is a city rich in culture and history, has an inordinate number of attractive, fashionably dressed people, and a well-deserved reputation as one of the liveliest cities in North America. Montreal is the second-largest French-speaking (as a mother language) city in the world, behind Paris.

Québec City is accessible within a day trip by car, and is well worth an overnight stop too.  At the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, you may cross the suspension bridge over the impressive 83-meter high waterfall on the majestic St. Lawrence River. At the Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, you may hike, mountain bike, moose watch, canoe, and miniraft on the river amidst its steep gorges. The Portneuf and Laurentians wildlife reserves are protected areas for fishing hunting. Stay at the Auberge Duchesnay lodge or a cabin on the shores of Lac Saint-Joseph.

Mont Tremblant is less than two hours away and is a big attraction as a skiing and golfing mountain village. Ottawa, the bilingual capital of Canada, is also around two hours away. Drive your rental car to the Eastern Townships, a region of unique architecture and culture, including the Dunham wine orchards, and Granby zoo. Across the border, you could travel to Boston and New England.

Downtown Montreal has the Cathédrale Marie Reine du Monde, a replica of St Peter´s Basilica in Rome. From here, you could walk to the Musée d´Art Contemporain or the Musée des Beaux Arts museums or the Mount Royal Park. Old Montréal charms you with cobbled streets, pavement cafés and Victorian mansions.  Montreal’s ‘Underground City’ has 32km of subterranean passageways with 1,600 shops, 200 restaurants, cinemas and a university.Above ground, you will find the monumental 3,800-seater neo-gothic Basilique Notre-Dame.

Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport Car Rental (YUL)

Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) or the Aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal, formerly known as Montréal-Dorval International Airport, is located on the Island of Montreal, 12 miles from Montreal’s downtown core. The airport terminals are located entirely in Dorval, while the Air Canada headquarters complex and one runway is located in Saint-Laurent, Montreal. It is an international airport serving Greater Montreal, along with the regions of northern Vermont and New York.

The airport is one of two managed and operated by Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), a not-for-profit corporation without share capital; the other airport is Montréal-Mirabel northwest of Montreal, which was initially intended to replace the one in Dorval but now deals almost solely with cargo. Montréal-Trudeau is owned by Transport Canada, which has a 60-year lease with Aéroports de Montréal.

Trudeau is the busiest airport in the province of Quebec, and is one of four Air Canada hubs, and, in that capacity, serves mainly Quebec, the Atlantic Provinces and Eastern Ontario.

Located on the western side of Montreal’s city outskirts, Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is easy to reach, being clearly signposted along the main routes. The airport is especially close to Ile de Montréal, which lies to the northeast, and Dollard Des Ormeaux to the west. Also nearby, Dorval is situated to the south, alongside the waterfront.

Montreal Airport can be reached from all directions, being supported by a network of main roads. Highway 40 skirts the eastern perimeter and is also known as the ‘Autoroute de la Cote-De-Liesse’.
