Where are you going in Canada? What is your citizenship?
Leave the rental car in Toronto and ride the train at least as far as Buffalo and then rent another car in the US.

You will have to check with the major car rental companies to see if you can rent in Canada and drive the car in the US.
If you had any type of accident with the Canadian car in the US it would be an insurance nightmare.
Depending on how long you are in Washington DC, you might want to park outside the city and take either a train or the Metro into the city.

I asked your citizenship and where your drivers license is from. This is what I found about taking rental cars across the border: http://www.ezbordercrossing.com/the-...e/rental-cars/
You don't really need a rental car in Washington DC.

You are not looking for a rental, you are looking for a short term or mini lease.

Price and conditions will wary so read the fine print.

Don't try to save on insurance.

In Washington, stay near the National airport (DCA). Hotels have parking and some of them are within walking distance of a Metro
station or run shuttles to the airport.

Forget the trains.

cdnyul,

<b>tune-in</b> to the thread here.

The person wants to rent a car for <u>one month</u>...


Thus it is absurd to give him a web link referencing something that begins at "60 days".

<b>"read the fine print"</b>

Before jumping on cdnyul . . . The OP is not all that clear. It does sound like perhaps s/he wants a car for a month in Toronto and another week+ in the USA most rentals will not go over 30 days.
