Quebec City Travel and Transport: Quebec City Car Rental - Quebec City, Quebec (QC), Canada
Car rental is on offer both at the airport from a range of notable car transport companies, and also in Quebec City, along the Côte du Palais. Cars are not really needed to travel around in the compact center of Quebec City, and although a number of car parks are available, the charges vary greatly. The car parking in St. Roch is almost half the price of parking lots in Upper Town. Inexpensive parking can also be found along the Rue St. Vallier Est and the Quebec City tourist information center can provide a list of all city-operated car parks if required. However, travel by car is the perfect way to explore the surrounding areas of Quebec City and this method of transport is particularly convenient for day trips and excursions.
