Hello Simon;
Well, first of all,

to Canada, whenever you arrive!!
"Hire car company" (Rental) say the "car option"(economy class) I have chosen could be a Rio
I think that if you are doing alot of city driving but not much highway driving you have the best choice.
But if you are going to be doing alot more highway driving than city driving, you should go up one more class to get something like the Spectra or Hyundai Elantra style.
Which rental company are you dealing with? Do you have international driving license, cauce some rental company here in Canada requires them for people who are not use to drive on the left side of the car.
Where in Canada are you going?
