Moving day in Toronto usually comes down to a handful of truck rental counters scattered across the city, and their ratings tell very different stories. Between them these truck rental services in Toronto have logged 1,369 reviews, and the spread is wide, from a 4.7 average down to 3.6, so which one you pick actually matters here more than it does in most service categories.

Bristol Car and Truck Rental runs close behind at 4.6 across 191 reviews with a Canadian-owned team praised for straightforward pricing. Enterprise Truck Rental posts the highest rating on the page at 4.7, though on a smaller review base of 117.

Advantage Car & Truck Rentals Downtown Toronto

4.5450 Google reviews

Advantage Car & Truck Rentals operates a downtown Toronto branch on Queen St E, part of a wider Ontario network offering cars, trucks and vans for both personal moves and business use. The location runs weekday hours into the evening plus Saturday morning service, and reviewers frequently name specific staff for guiding them through the booking and return process, including photo documentation of vehicle condition at drop-off.

What people praise

  • Named staff (Kumar) repeatedly credited for clear, patient explanation of rental terms
  • Photo-based before-and-after documentation at return, cited by one long-time customer
  • Reviewers describe multiple repeat rentals over years with no vehicle issues
  • Largest review base on this page by a wide margin

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer described no response after multiple follow-up emails about a booking query

Our take: The biggest track record here, and the rating holds up across hundreds of reviews rather than a handful. The one email-response complaint is worth flagging, but the company's own reply describes it as an internal process fix, not a pattern echoed elsewhere in the reviews.

Bristol Car and Truck Rental Toronto

4.6191 Google reviews

Bristol Car and Truck Rental operates a Nassau St location as part of a wider Bristol Rentals network across the Greater Toronto Area, offering everything from compact pickups to 24-26 foot straight trucks and refrigerated cargo vans. The company markets itself as 100% Canadian owned, and reviewers point to a fair, transparent booking process as a specific reason they'd return.

What people praise

  • Named contact (Gerry) credited by multiple reviewers for helpful, personable service
  • Fleet range extends to larger straight trucks and refrigerated vans, not just standard moving trucks
  • Reviewers describe vehicles as clean and near-new even on repeat visits years apart
  • Fair and reasonable deal-making cited specifically by more than one reviewer

Worth knowing

  • Closed Sundays

Our take: A slightly higher rating than the top pick on a smaller review base, and the specific mentions of fair pricing and straightforward terms are a genuine signal, not just generic praise.

#3🕑 Open 7 days

U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer

3.6611 Google reviews

This is a U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer location on Parliament St, part of the wider U-Haul national truck and trailer rental network rather than an independently branded shop. The listing shows the widest split in customer experience on this page: plenty of five-star reviews praising specific staff, alongside a notable share of one-star complaints, most commonly about equipment availability at pickup.

What people praise

  • Named staff (Sati, Asif) praised for flexibility, including extending a rental when a booking mix-up occurred
  • Reviewers who rent multiple times a month report consistently good experiences
  • Wide availability across the U-Haul network for one-way and long-distance moves

Worth knowing

  • Notably more 1-star reviews than the other shops on this page, mostly about missing equipment at pickup
  • One detailed complaint describes a confirmed accessory (a dolly) not actually being in the vehicle at handover

Our take: We rank this fourth on the numbers, not on brand recognition. The rating (3.6) and the lower share of positive reviews (55%) are real and worth taking seriously if your move depends on a specific accessory being ready. Confirm equipment availability directly before pickup day rather than assuming it from the booking confirmation.

Enterprise Truck Rental

4.7117 Google reviews

Enterprise Truck Rental's North York branch on Dufferin St is part of the national Enterprise network, offering box trucks, cargo vans and pickups for both personal moves and commercial use. It posts the highest average rating on this page, and reviewers repeatedly name the same small group of staff across different rental dates, suggesting a stable team rather than high turnover.

What people praise

  • Named staff (Alec, Conrad, Nikki) mentioned by multiple different reviewers across separate rentals
  • Same-day replacement offered when a reviewer needed one
  • Reviewers describe the branch as clean and easy to reach by transit
  • Handled a long interstate relocation (Toronto to Florida) smoothly per one detailed review

Worth knowing

  • Smallest review base on this page, so the rating carries less weight than the leaders

Our take: The highest rating here, but on the thinnest sample on this page, so treat it as a strong recent signal rather than a settled long-term track record the way Advantage's does.

Watch: 4 Best Truck Rental Services in Toronto (2026)

How we rank these rental counters

We pull live Google ratings and review counts for truck rental services in Toronto, then weigh the rating against how many customers actually left one (volume), how recently people are still reviewing (recency), and how complete each listing is (site, phone, hours). No business can pay to change these numbers, including the lower-rated names on this list.

How much does a truck rental cost in Toronto? (2026)

None of the operators on this page publish a fixed local rate card, and pricing depends heavily on truck size, rental length, mileage, and season. Ask for a quote by size and date rather than relying on a headline number, since national chains especially adjust pricing by demand.

Serving Toronto and the GTA

Pickup points span downtown (Queen St E and Nassau St), the east end (Parliament St), and North York (Dufferin St), covering most of the central city without a long drive. If you’re searching for truck rental near me for a same-day move, Advantage and Bristol both keep weekday hours into the early evening.

What to ask before you book a moving truck

  • Is mileage included, or charged separately on top of the day rate?
  • If I need a dolly, blankets or other equipment, can you confirm it will actually be in the truck?
  • What’s your policy if I need to extend the rental by a few hours?
  • Do you offer one-way rentals, or does the truck need to come back to this location?
  • Is there a minimum age or extra fee for younger drivers?
  • What happens if the truck size I booked isn’t available when I arrive?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these truck rental services?

We pulled every truck rental service in Toronto with a public Google Business listing, then ranked by rating, review volume, and how recently customers were still reviewing them.

Which Toronto truck rental has the best reviews?

Enterprise Truck Rental posts the highest average rating on this page at 4.7, though on a smaller review base than Advantage or Bristol.

Is U-Haul a good choice for a Toronto move?

The U-Haul dealer on this page has the lowest rating on this page, largely tied to equipment not being ready at pickup. It’s still a viable option, especially for one-way moves, but confirm your equipment directly before moving day.

How often is this updated?

We refresh ratings and review counts periodically. This page reflects data verified in July 2026.

The bottom line

Advantage Car & Truck Rentals is the safe default given its size and consistency, with Bristol a close second if you want a smaller, Canadian-owned operator. Whichever one you book, call ahead to confirm the exact truck size and any add-on equipment will be there when you arrive, that’s where the complaints on this page actually came from.
