How to save on a one-way car rental from Montreal to Quebec City

One-way rental prices can vary by date, vehicle category and the exact pickup and return locations. Compare more than one option before booking.

  • 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. One-way totals on this route can differ by size, so open neighbouring categories before assuming the smallest car is the best price.
  • 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.

  • Expect an automatic on this route

    Every priced offer in our three-day sample was an automatic. You do not need a manual to save money on Montreal to Quebec City. Still confirm the transmission on the car you book.
