In general, rental car companies in the United States do not permit you to take rental vehicles into Canada. If you intend to bring a rental car into Canada, check with the rental company when making your reservation. Ensure that your rental agreement specifically states that you are authorized to take the vehicle into Canada. Generally, you may bring your household pets into Canada. Dogs and cats must have up to date certificates of vaccination against rabies within the previous 3 years, after the animal is at least 3 months old.
Guide dogs are exempt from all restrictions.
Birds coming from the USA must accompany the owner, who must certify that the bird has been owned for at least 90 days, and has not been in contact with other birds during that period. Persons bringing birds to Canada from other countries must have an import permit. Further information on the importation of personal or business goods can be found at the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency web site. You will be billed long distance charges for using these numbers. Due to Canadian Privacy legislation, individual cases cannot be discussed over the telephone or by e-mail and must be dealt with by letter or by fax.
