I want to take a trip to Montreal with my girlfriend. We live in NYC, so we would fly there and stay in a hotel downtown. However, I went to college in a town just across the border, in upstate New York (SUNY at Potsdam). One of the days we are in Montreal, I want to rent a car and take my girlfriend to Potsdam, just for the day. Potsdam, NY is about an hour form Montreal, maybe 20 minutes across the border.
Would the car rental people give us any hassle about taking the car (rented in Canada) across the border into the US, even just for a few hours? Would there be extra fees, paperwork? Do we even need permission? Would we get stopped at the border?
Back when I went to college (10 years ago) the borders were pretty lax, but I think they have stiffened the rules a bit.
