September to November is the most optimal time to take a road trip, as the weather is very comfortable and the fall foliage is in full bloom. You are not exposed to extreme heat during the summer or frigid temperatures during the winter.

US citizens with valid licenses do not need an international permit (valid for 90 days) for driving in Canada. The rest of the world should obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) and purchase insurance to rent a car.

Depending on the company and the season, prices vary. For example, I got my economy car for 44-48 CAD a day through RentalCars or AutoEurope. Also, check out my things you should know before renting a car blog to learn more.
