Alamo normally does not have a drop off fee but they may have a border
fee because you can not leave a US car in Canada and vis versa thats why
most do not allow it Check before you get caught


Since when is that?
October 6, 2001 I rented a car in Toronto, from Alamo, which had Florida
license plates.

Jochen from Germany


A Canadian Resident can not drive a car in Canada with American licence
plates. This is a Customs regulation. It is because automobiles are
generally cheaper (until recently) in the US. It is designed to stop
Canadians from buying, licencing and insuring cars in the states and then
bringing them home and driving them regularly. A resident can bring in a car
legally as long as he/she pays duty and taxes at the border.
