Taking a rental car from US to Canada
I'm trying to locate a car rental company that will allow me to drive the car from Albany to Montreal and won't charge mileage or fees, any ideas?

I have not had to do that. Just be sure you have the rental contract with you in the vehicle when you cross the border, particularly when re-entering the USA.
When entering Canada by car, I have never had to show any kind of documentation.
The problems lately have arisen when I returned to the USA. Given the current situation, I would asks the US rental car agent for a statement saying that I had permission to visit Canada in that particular vehicle.
It may totally unnecessary, but I have heard some strange tales lately about border crossing in rental vehicles.
Usually it is the US folks raising the difficulty level.
Also, if you have a passport, take it for re-entry purposes.
