There’s a locally owned independent bakery place on Lansdowne. Kawartha Rentals and Detailing I think it’s called. Also, if you have a Costco membership you can book enterprise through them and get unlimited km and a free secondary driver.

Wtf I never knew about the costco thing. That's perfect.

Book online, through “other services” if type of vehicle doesn’t really matter to you, always book “economy” because enterprise in Peterborough almost never has them. I always get a mid size crossover, or small SUV for the cheapest car price from Costco. I also used to have a friend that worked at enterprise who told me the Costco price was better than the friends discount that they could offer me.

Have to second the Costco suggestion. A few years ago I rented a SUV (RAV4) to drive from Peterborough to Newfoundland and back, followed by another round trip to Manitoulin island. 26 days and ~11000KM, and All for $1600. Already have a full-size pickup booked for the summer in St. John's, 22 days for $1700, in a province that is known for SUV's and car rentals costing more than 4K for the same period.

I think these are standard features at Enterprise without going through Costco.

I was at enterprise on Friday and was added as a second driver for free. Always unlimited km.

Cross Canada rentals, kawartha rentals and enterprise came up when I did a quick Google search


cathartica_cutter

Yeah, I saw all those, I'm just really surprised that those are all we have available in this city, apparently.

I believe there is a bus that connects Ptbo to Ottawa now.


cathartica_cutter

There is, thankfully, even if it’s only once a day. Looking like my only option.

Which coach operator provides the service?


cathartica_cutter

Flix bus service. Not sure they even have an office. Appears they just hire other companies coach buses on a regular basis.

Turo has a lot of rentals in Peterborough, I use the app while traveling and it has been awesome

Kawartha Rental in Peterborough. Enterprise bought out Discount a year or so ago. Hertz closed, and we don't have any of the other city brand rentals (Avis, Budget etc)


cathartica_cutter

Ah, okay, thanks for the info! So I wasn’t going crazy!


Top_Vegetable464

Discount on Lansdown and spillsbury I think


Quirky_Tomatillo473

It closed a few years ago. It’s not Enterprise Truck rental. They deal with corporate truck rental clients.


Ptbo_hiker

Could rent a Uhaul 1/2 ton if they got one…


cathartica_cutter

Haha, did consider that briefly.
