Rental Vehicles
What you need to know before you drive
Driving on Highway 407 ETR in a rental vehicle works a little differently than driving your own vehicle. Because a rental company owns the vehicle, toll charges are billed to the rental company first, then passed on to you based on your rental agreement.
Before you drive, ask your rental company how toll charges will be billed and whether they charge any additional service or administrative fees.
