If you're from the United States or Canada, the rental company may be able to look up the driver's license information. If you're from outside of Canada you will also need to provide your passport. The rental company will take note of the passport number and compare the photos with that of your driver's license.
A current insurance card and contact number of your insurance agent and company must be brought along to Ontario car rental companies. Whomever is renting the car will need to be an insured driver.
