Car Rental Kingston - Ontario

Kingston is a city in eastern Ontario, Canada. It is at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, at the beginning of the St. Lawrence River, and at the mouth of the Cataraqui River (southern end of the Rideau Canal). The city is halfway between Toronto, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec. The Thousand Islands tourist region is close to the east. Kingston is nicknamed "Limestone City" due to the many heritage buildings constructed from local limestone. Increasing European exploration in the 17th century, and the desire of Europeans to establish a presence close to the local native occupiers to control trade, led to the founding of a French trading post and a military fort at a site known as "Cataraqui "(usually pronounced" Kah-tah-ROCK-way ") in 1673. This outpost called Fort Cataraqui, and later Fort Frontenac, became a focus of settlement. From 1760, the site of Kingston, Ontario, was an ineffective British possession. Cataraqui would be renamed Kingston after the British took possession of the fort and the Loyalists began to settle in the region in the 1780s.

Kingston was named the first capital of the United Province of Canada on February 10, 1841. Although its time as a capital city was brief (ending in 1844), the community has remained a major military installation. Kingston was the county seat of Frontenac until 1998. Kingston is now a separate municipality from Frontenac County. Wherever you may be in Kingston, we have a convenient location for your car rental.
