How to save on a one-way car rental from Montreal to Quebec City
- Check nearby dates. Rental prices can change by pickup date, inventory and availability. If your schedule is flexible, compare a day or two either side of your planned dates. Another day is not guaranteed to be cheaper.
- Compare more than one car category. In our three-day sample, SUV had the lowest observed total at $168. Small and Medium shared the next floor at $184. Large sat close at $189, while Luxury jumped to $484. Open neighbouring sizes before assuming the smallest cabin is the budget pick.
- Compare the full one-way total. The complete booking total matters more than the daily rate on this Montreal to Quebec City run. One-way pricing can depend on the vehicle, booking conditions and the exact Montreal pickup and Quebec City return combination.
- Compare practical Montreal pickup and Quebec City return locations. In our sample, Montreal pickups included city branches, Montreal-Trudeau and a Longueuil airport desk that is not Montreal-Trudeau. Quebec City returns used city locations. The lowest published totals were not at the in-terminal Trudeau desks. Compare the combination that fits your trip.
- Check cancellation on the offer you book. The cheapest SUV total in our three-day sample did not include free cancellation. The next Small and Medium floors at 1200 Stanley did. A lower headline total is not automatically the easier booking to change.
Tips for a one-way car rental from Montreal to Quebec City
For this 168 mi Montreal to Quebec City rental (about 3h), check your exact Montreal pickup and the Autoroute 40 east approach into western Quebec City before you leave.
-
Confirm the Montreal street on your voucher
Pickup is not one Montreal garage. City desks used 1200 Stanley, 1005 Rue Guy, 1717 Rue Berri and 249 Rue Saint-Antoine Ouest. Other offers used 635 Avenue Edward VII in Dorval, Montreal-Trudeau on Romeo-Vachon or Albert-de-Niverville, and 6400 Route de l'Aéroport in Longueuil. Check the address on your voucher.
-
Montreal-Trudeau collection is in P4
If you pick up at Montreal-Trudeau, official on-airport rental counters are in parking P4, not the old Multi-Level lot. A free shuttle takes passengers from the terminal to P4. Collect the car at P4. Do not board that shuttle with the rental car. From P4 you join Autoroute 40 east without driving the central Montreal streets.
-
Stay on Autoroute 40 east
From a city start this routing uses Boulevard Crémazie Ouest, then joins Autoroute 40 east (Autoroute Félix-Leclerc) and stays on it toward Quebec City, north of the St Lawrence. A Trudeau pickup joins the same 40 east without those central streets. No toll is indicated on this Autoroute 40 run.
-
Leave Autoroute 40 on Autoroute 740
Near Quebec City this routing leaves Autoroute 40 at exit 15 onto Autoroute 740 (Autoroute Robert-Bourassa) north, then Avenue Chauveau. It stays north of the St Lawrence. Follow the exact return address on your voucher for the last streets.
-
Return to the Quebec City city address
Returns used Quebec City city codes, not a named Jean Lesage Airport desk. The usual finish is on the west side of Quebec City after Autoroute 740 and Avenue Chauveau. Enter that voucher address before you leave Montreal and check the desk opening hours.
-
Budget fuel for the Autoroute 40 run
Our estimate puts fuel at about $21 to $42 for this drive. Include that beside the rental total. Fuel is a real cost on this Autoroute 40 east run.
