Exotic Car Rental in Ottawa: The Complete Guide
How to rent an exotic or luxury car in Ottawa: daily rates, driver age, OPCF 27 insurance, deposits, kilometres included and how booking works.
Quick answer
Luxury and exotic rentals at Capital Exotics in Ottawa start at $129/day (BMW 330i M Sport and Mercedes-Benz C300) and go up to $799/day for the Mercedes-AMG G63. You need a valid full G licence (or international equivalent), active personal auto insurance with an OPCF 27 (Ontario) or FAQ 27 (Quebec) endorsement, and to meet the vehicle's minimum age. Every rental includes 200 km per day and a refundable security deposit of $1,000–$3,000 depending on the car.
Renting an exotic car in Ottawa shouldn't feel complicated. Whether it's for a wedding, an anniversary, graduation photos on Parliament Hill, a visiting client or simply a weekend you'll remember, this guide covers exactly what it costs, what you need and how the booking works — with no surprises at pickup.
Why rent an exotic car in Ottawa?
Most of our guests rent for an occasion rather than for transport. The most common reasons we see:
- Weddings and anniversaries — arriving in a G63 or GT 63 S makes the photos.
- Birthdays and celebrations — a surprise that's far more memorable than dinner.
- Business visits — a polished executive sedan for meetings across the capital.
- Weekend drives — Gatineau Park, the Ottawa Valley or a run up to Mont-Tremblant (see our favourite scenic drives).
- Trying before buying — a few days with a car tells you more than any test drive.

What you need to rent
- Minimum age — 20+ for the BMW 330i, C300 and C63 S; 23+ for the X6 M and GT 63 S; 25+ for the G63.
- A valid full licence — a full G licence or an international equivalent.
- Personal auto insurance with OPCF 27 or FAQ 27 — Ontario residents provide the OPCF 27 endorsement and Quebec residents the FAQ 27 endorsement. Many drivers already have it; if you don't, your broker can usually add it quickly. Our OPCF 27 & FAQ 27 guide explains what to ask for.
- A refundable security deposit — held before departure and released promptly after the return inspection.
Kilometres: what's included
Every rental includes 200 km per day, so a two-day weekend comes with 400 km — plenty for city driving plus a day trip. Beyond that:
- AMG & M models (G63, GT 63 S, X6 M, C63 S): $1.15 per extra km.
- Sport sedans (BMW 330i, C300): $0.65 per extra km, or add Unlimited KM for $100/day.
- Planning a longer trip? You can pre-book an extra 100 or 200 km per day at the standard rate so there's nothing to settle at return.
How booking works
- Send a request — choose your vehicle, dates and kilometre package in the booking form. You'll receive a reference code right away.
- Verify your documents — upload a photo of your driver's licence and your insurance showing OPCF 27 / FAQ 27.
- Confirmation — our concierge team reviews everything, confirms availability and arranges pickup or delivery.
- Drive — collect the car or have it delivered, and enjoy. You can check your request at any time on the Check Booking page.
Pickup, delivery and airport handover
Capital Exotics offers white-glove handover across Ottawa: delivery to your home, hotel or event venue, and VIP delivery at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW). The same concierge service extends to Montreal (YUL) and Toronto Pearson (YYZ) — see our Montreal & Toronto guide. Roadside assistance and concierge support are available 24/7 for every rental.
Tolls, tickets and responsibilities
Traffic violations, parking tickets and 407 ETR toll charges incurred during the rental are the responsibility of the designated driver. Everything else — rate, kilometre package and deposit — is confirmed in writing before you drive, so there are no hidden fees.
Tips for a smooth rental
- Confirm your OPCF 27 / FAQ 27 before you book — it's the step that most often delays a pickup.
- Be realistic about kilometres — Ottawa to Montreal is roughly 200 km each way, so a round trip uses a full two days of included distance.
- Book early for peak dates — weekends in wedding and graduation season fill up first.
- Tell us about the occasion — timing, delivery location and photos are easier to plan when we know what the day looks like.
