Therefore after you cross a car rental agency in close proximity it’s is a must. I would be worried about getting sent to a quarantine facility.
There is no rule against using any form of transportation to get to your place of quarantine. Public transit, taxi, picked up by a friend or family; all allowed. Heck, you can even go to the drive-thru.

Your 14-day quarantine starts on the day you arrive

  • Go directly to your place of quarantine without delay and stay there for the duration of your quarantine.
  • Practise physical distancing at all times.
  • Avoid stops and contact with others while in transit to quarantine:
    • Use a private vehicle if possible
    • Remain in the vehicle as much as possible
    • Pay at the pump for gas and use drive through when you need food
    • Wear a suitable non-medical mask at all times unless you are alone in a private vehicle
