Car Hire in Canada vs Trains

Whilst plannign my Canada trip this summer, I checked train prices on https://www.viarail.ca to get an idea of how much it would be for 2 of us to get a return ticket to Montreal from Toronto. I was quite shocked to find it was around £80 each and they journey actually took longer than I expected.

Car hire through https://www.canadianaffair.com is only £25 a day which makes so much more sense. I was wondering if I do decide to go the car hire way, whether its better to hire before I go through Canadian Affair, or would I get even better deals once I am there from the local car hire companies? I'm sure someone here has hired cars in Toronto before so should have an idea of the cost.
