Default Renting a C-172 in the Southern Ontario (Toronto) Region

I'm currently a student pilot hoping to have my RPC by the end of July
and possibly my PPL by the end of August. Once I get the RPC I'd like
to build up the 10 solo hours required for the PPL by taking friends
and flying to various places. I'm currently a member of a club (which
is where I do my training) but their rental policies are centered
around renting a plane and flying for the day. I'd like to be able to
rent a plane and keep it overnight (or two) even though I'd only be
flying about 2 hours away (so 4 hours of flight time in 3 days). It
seems many places charge 6 hour minimums or other - and 4 hours of
flight time is expensive enough for me as it is that I cannot justify
paying for 12-18 hours for 4 hours of flight time.

What I'm looking for is any information or advice anyone has. Is there
any club or company anywhere in the Toronto area which has renting
policies more suitable to someone who may want to rent a plane for two
or three days for a semi-local flight? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh and since I am learning on a Cessna 172 right now I'd be looking to
rent one of those.. once I finish my training then I'll worry about
getting checked-out on other aircraft! That hopefully shouldn't be a
problem though since as far as I know the 172 is an extremely popular
GA aircraft.

Thanks!
