18 Car Rental Brands at Calgary Airport (YYC)

Reviewed: July 23, 2024

There was no Chinese service at both the pickup and drop-off locations. I booked the car for 3:30 PM, but I had to wait at the airport for over four hours until almost 8 PM to get the car. I bought the insurance recommended by the staff, who said that I didn't need to return the car with a full tank. This already made me unhappy. Additionally, they gave me a brand-new car with a very strong new car smell. Especially after being parked and exposed to the sun for a while, the smell inside the car was so strong that I felt nauseous. During our self-driving trip, I didn't dare to close the windows. This rental experience made my family very unhappy during the trip.

There are insurance and towing upsells, but you can decline them.

Everything was fine and efficient. Only problem is the amount of information you are bombarded with at the hire desk. We made the mistake of paying for fuel in advance instead of filling up ourselves on return of the vehicle. We were told there was a large difference in fuel prices between Alberta and BC, but this was not so.

Overall satisfactory, but it seems the insurance bought domestically is not recognized abroad. In case of an accident, you have to contact the domestic platform to resolve it.

1. There was no inspection when picking up the car. There were two paint damages and large scratches on the display screen. I have sent photos to the customer service. 2. I had to pay over 400 CAD additionally at pickup. The receipt shows it as a charge rather than a deposit, and I am unsure what I was charged for. The staff's English was not clear, so I couldn't understand them. 3. I haven't received a refund for this charge yet, so I can't make a final judgment. 4. The actual car delivered was a Kia Cerato SUV, which isn't listed on the platform.

Specifically paid extra for Toyota RAV 4, but received FORD ESCAPE. Which were cheaper to book. Receptionist treated my like an idiot - "it's basically the same car". Take it or leave it. Windshield was chipped even though I was assured car had no damage and I had to explain myself during the drop-off.

I mentioned to Ayana Mahamed (who was working the counter at National at the Calgary Airport) that my wife and I took this trip to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and he VERY graciously upgraded us from a tiny economy car to a small luxury SUV. He was awesome. National is awesome. We are SO grateful :)

픽업 카운터 직원은 그다지 친절하지 않았고 전문성도 좀 떨어져 보험 관련 질문에 속시원한 답변을 들을 수 없었습니다. 차에 네비가 장착되어 있냐고 물었더니 그렇다고 했지만 실제론 없었습니다. 하지만 계약한 Hyundai Elantra 대신 받은 Infinity 차는 트렁크가 좀 작은 점을 제외하고는 매우 좋은 차였습니다. 승차감도 좋고 여러가지 안전장치도 있고. 전반적으로 만족합니다.

quick and good service. We were expecting a focus sized car which we chose due to the focus having a large boot space. Unfortunately we ended up with a civic with a very inadequate boot space.

Des frais supplémentaires au moment du retrait du véhicule, avec des explicitations pas très claires. Du coup notre tarif de location peu élevé au départ a doublé. Par exemple, on nous fait payer un plein d'essence entier, même si on loue une voiture pour moins de 48h pour faire juste quelques kilomètres dans le coin, une façon peu honnête d'encaisser beaucoup d'argent. Imaginez ce gain multiplié par des milliers de voitures louées ! Alors que sur tous les lieux touristiques, nous avons rencontré des personnes parlant aussi le français (langue du Québec, province canadienne), chez Budget, personne ne parlait le français.

The car was old & damaged, very disappointing. I was required to call my insurance agency to confirm I had coverage. I have never in all my years of car rentals had to do this. I was very annoyed by this. I needed to extend my drop off time as we were flying and I had a flight change after the booking was made. I was charged an extra day for this 2 hour difference. This is disgusting customer service.

We were told that our US auto insurance did not cover the rental and were required to buy the Discount auto policy. The windshield developed a crack which I reported to their staff. We were told that the policy did not cover windshields and tires and that there would be an additional $500 fee.

We had a terrible experience with ur company. It took over an hour at the counter for the employees to complete the paperwork. We were charged extra for insurance, which we didn’t need as I verified insurance I had covered me in Canada. When we went to return the car they accused me of putting a hole in the back bumper. It took over 45 minutes to convince them I did not do it. They spent a lot of time checking on the computer to see if that car had damage... they could not find it. It was noted on my inspection report, however it was vague and the employees said that was for another area of the bumper... little did they know we had taken a picture of the damage when we picked up the car... it was dated and time stamped... that shut them up. I will never rent from your company again. I have the employees names if you want to document any of this information.

I chose this store because it was cheap, but had to wait a long time for the shuttle. The driving distance was over ten kilometers, and the return address was incorrect. I rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee but never received that model. Instead, previous renters either got a minivan or, like us, a Toyota seven-seater, which was front-wheel drive. After three hours of negotiation, the store clearly said they didn't have any Jeep models. Observing the car returns and the parking lot confirmed there were no Jeeps. The manager lacked integrity. We just wanted a four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle, but they claimed no vehicles were available and asked us to come back tomorrow. However, several foreign customers after us received a Dodge.

The car was not ready for pick up and there was an existing stone chip on the wind shield which is scary coz it might break on me specially on the way to a high altitude location at lake louise.

We expected a Santa Fe; we got a Dodge Durango instead, but no big deal. What was TERRIBLE upon returning the car was that they said we had incurred damages/scratches to the front bumper and they were going to charge us. I did all the driving and we never hit anything. I drove almost all highway miles and parked safely/responsibly. When they first inspected the car they had it parked closely behind another vehicle so they never even inspected the front bumper. Is this a scam? Do they just tell everyone they scratched the front bumper, get money from them, never fix it, park it close to another car during inspection for the next customer? We will dispute any charges. I will stick to a national reputable car rental company from now on; this was so ridiculous and dishonest of them. We did not incur ANY damage to their car; we are very responsible and took great car of the car. They initially got us to choose them with a low rental price, then tried to make up the difference. Not a good nor respectable way to run a business. Hurts them in long run. Expect better.
