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

Probably worth checking, but returning a rental is not the same as
importing a vehicle and selling or abandoning it because ownership
does not change hands at any point. It was Alamo's car when you
rented it and it's still Alamo's car when you drop it off.

Now, turns out that (at least according to National) there's a gotcha.
Apparently for some reason known only to the Canadian legislature, a
Canadian citizen can't drive across the US-Canada border in a
US-registered rental car, but can in a Canadian-registered rental car.

To be perfectly honest, this is one time when it seems to me to
make
sense to just rent a car in Boston and drive to Quebec. The
travel
time's about the same as flying and the cost including gas for
a
one
way rental is about the same as the air fare and there's some
"picturesque" country in between.
I haven't tried it, but it might not be possible to rent one-way
from
the US to Canada these days.
Even if you can there's probably a hefty dropoff fee.
Alamo is showing 120.88 total for one day pick up in Boston, drop
off in Quebec. No mention of a dropoff fee. This is less than
half the air fare.


Thats a very good deal.
