Where to Rent a Snowmobile in Quebec
By the Groupe Contant Team · Published July 8, 2026
Quick Answer
Where can you rent a snowmobile in Quebec?
Snowmobile rentals are offered by outfitters and rental centres across several Quebec regions, notably Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Mauricie, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, and Bas-Saint-Laurent. Prices typically run $150 to $350 per day depending on the model. The FCMQ trail-access permit, a photo ID, a valid driver's license, and a security deposit are usually required. Groupe Contant, for its part, offers a test-ride program on its Can-Am 3-wheel lineup rather than snowmobile rentals.
Before investing in a snowmobile, many future owners choose to rent one first to test their interest — or simply to enjoy a winter getaway without the commitment of ownership. Quebec has several regions known for their trail networks and rental outfitters.
This guide covers where to find a reliable outfitter, what documents to bring, and the option Groupe Contant actually offers while you decide on a purchase.
What to Know Before Renting a Snowmobile
- FCMQ trail-access permit — generally required on top of the rental rate, unless it's bundled into the package.
- Photo ID and a credit card for the security deposit.
- A valid driver's license — legally required from age 18 to ride official trails, and always checked by rental outfitters.
- Included equipment — a helmet and suit are sometimes provided, always confirm before booking.
Typical Snowmobile Rental Prices in Quebec

What Groupe Contant Offers as a Test Option
Groupe Contant doesn't rent snowmobiles directly. Our "try before you buy" rental program currently focuses on the Can-Am 3-wheel lineup — Spyder, Ryker, and Canyon — available at all 5 of our locations. For a snowmobile, our advisors walk you through the Ski-Doo lineup in-store and help you choose the right new or used model before you buy.
