Authentik Advice: Don't pick up your rental vehicle at the airport upon your arrival in Toronto. As in all major cities around the world, driving in Toronto is challenging and it can be hard to find your way around. We suggest that you take a taxi from the airport to your hotel ($40), and then explore the city by foot and by subway - the easiest and most economical choice.
