It was easy to get in and out of parking and held our luggage nicelyI would prefer the guy not try to get us to pay for an upgrade . He kept going on and going on about us needing a bigger car .......of course to pay more for . I ordered what o thought we needed and it was fine . No need to waste our time .

It was easy to get the car, the car was perfect, I had a great experience with the overall renting. Easy to get there from the airport, & excellent service at the counter.It was a bit too expensive. I was shocked to learn insurance through Alamo would be $30 / day, when I could have gotten it for $12 / day through Kayak. I realize there are differences, but I don't understand the huge spike in price.

I was charged for a damage I didn't do. It seems that attendants do not thoroughly check for damages, and then the next customer has to pay for someone else's damage. I noticed this because I DID find a scratch on the car initially and reported it. But missed seeing the chip on the window. Lame.

Georges (sp) the agent who handled our transaction was excellent and due to some problems upgraded us to a larger vehicle at no additional charge. He was very knowledgeable great to work with.My only complaint was taxes and fees added an additional 25% or more to the cost of the car rental and it would have been nice to know this before getting to the rental counter.

Copy of email to Car Rentals.com Hello, I’ve recently returned from Canada and on checking my credit card statement I have been grossly overcharged for car rental. Your booking Itinerary number 643551295 refers My booking, made on 12th April showed a hire charge of 2025.22 USD (by today’s exchange rate that is approximately 2605 CAD or 1658 Pounds Sterling) Budget Car & Truck were unable to supply the type of car requested but provided a Volvo XC90 as a replacement. I did not require, or indeed require a larger car. The hire charge taken by Budget Car & Truck Rental was £3576. More than 100% above what was quoted. I accept that I took additional insurance amounting to 1637 CAD (circa 1000 Pounds Sterling) When all of the above is considered Budget Car & Truck Rental have still overcharged by about £1000. They also appear to have also charged for fuel despite agreeing to take the car back with a full tank. I would welcome your advice and arrange a refund to equate to the original quotation

Drop off staff were excellent, very busy but polite and efficient. The car was exactly what I needed and had booked - it was clean and seemed almost new. I had been concerned about collection as my flight was late but that was also handled with no fuss. First time I have hired a car so I was a bit confused about the process and felt it could have been explained better with less focus on telling me what I wasn't covered for. I left not sure as to what should be done if things went wrong on the road. Thankfully, I made my trip without incident.

I drive a small car older car overall it was great just a couple of issue just because of me being new in a new car and the snow.I wasn't told in the beginning how the car works. I didn't know about the push start or that the emergency break is on automatically after you out the gear in park or where the emergency break was. Also, they told me it was going to snow but there was no snow brush so when it did snow I had to use my sleeve and my hand to try and get rid of a lot of snow.

Great Service at a Great PriceRented a midsize SUV, for two weeks, in western Canada. Speedy service at the check-in counter and then met by an agent at the pick-up site. Showed us to the car, assisted in the usual pre-rental review of the car and offered direction to out first destination. Then we received a welcome email from the local manager, including where the closest gas station was when we returned the car. Equally courteous greeting and assistance at the return. Probably the best service I have ever experienced when renting a car. No complaints at all with the car - was just what we wanted. Yes, all was exactly as the reservation specificed. No surprises!!!

Very professionalNo lines, knowledgeable and professional staff, offered me a bottle of water, took me out to the car and went over the way they check for damage (a bit over the top on that). At that point we discovered they had mistakenly booked the car as a round trip when I'd reserved one way, not a problem and promptly fixed.The review of how they checked for damage was a bit over the top. One way fee is annoying but in line with the market.

pricey rentalquality of car was finethere seems to be a discrepancy between different websites about whether enterprise at YYC is on airport or offsite. It is at the airport, but they seem to be less well integrated into the parking garage than other companies. Return was a bit confused. I also didn't appreciate the aggressive upsetting of the insurance coverage. My brother rented a similar SUV at the same time in Calgary, slightly away from the airport for about 2/3 the price, something that didn't;t get picked up by the Kayak search.

Not located within Calgary AirportGood price on a Nissan Sentra. The car was clean and comfortable. The glove compartment contained an owner's manual for questions.Had trouble finding the meeting spot -- I assumed it would be with the other rental companies, which it was not. When I phoned the office for pick-up, no one answered (an agent later said they were too busy to bother with the phone). When the shuttle arrived, it was full so had to wait another 40 minutes for the next one. The desk had only two agents manning it so I had to wait 20 more minutes for attention. Like many companies, I inspected the car for initial damage. The agent missed major paint chips, which I had to point out. While the driving itself went well, I question whether it ever makes sense to choose a rental car company that you don't know.

Reserved a compact vehicle 2 months ahead of time. At pick up time the only available vehicles were mini van and pickup trucks. Was given van at no additional cost so obviously not completely negative situation but was too big for 2 people who only had carry on luggage and not as fuel efficient with today's gas prices. Got to wonder why a vehicle I reserved so far ahead was not available when i picked up right on time. No complaints with anything else.

Vehicle was a 2022 Kia C instead of a a Dodge Grand Caravan, which was nice. It could have been cleaner, though. Goldfish and french fries were stuffed in little crevices. What upset me was that they claimed a small stone chip on the windshield was my doing and it was not. They charged me $75. So look over the vehicle very carefully beforehand! I asked to see the video of the car before I took it and it was a joke. They used it to say the chip wasn’t there but it proved nothing. It was mostly the dude filming the ground. It was very unprofessional. Lots of people there but no one working the counter to keep things moving. I would never use them again.

Wasn’t able to rent the vehicle as they require their insurance as well as your own personal insurance. This wasn’t the end of the world but they still charged me a $50 cancellation charge when it wasn’t noted anywhere when booking. Also required $1500.00 hold on credit card which seems excessive especially when dually insured. They capitalize on providing as little detail as possible. Terrible customer service

My flight into Calgary was delayed by several hours, my flight landing at 5:25 when the off-airport rental office officially closed at 5:00. I had spoken to someone at the rental office prior to my departure from Halifax and they agreed to stay until 5:30-5:45 so that I could still pick up the car. I called as soon as the aircraft had cleared the active runway, well before 5:30 and received no answer. I was working quite a distance outside Calgary and had to rely on a colleague to collect me from the airport. It was not convenient to get back to the airport and I had to let the car go. On the positive side, the third-party customer service organization contracted by Routes (QEEQ) provided outstanding service working with myself and Routes to apply their policy that charges the equivalent of 1-day of rental for noshow customers. They promptly refunded my prepayment, less one-day of charges. Overall, I'd take a chance on Routes again.

Great price watch out for feesCar was $200 for a week. And they gave us a slight upgrade with gps.When I went to pay i was charged for roadside assistance and insurance which I was not asked to purchase which doubled the cost of the rental. I had to work with their management to take the charges off. Had I not had the time I would have had to call and fight on the phone. Be aware of those before leaving with car.

Drop off staff was friendly and made the process easy.Europcar doesn’t accept insurance from USA/int’l policies, although they are valid in Canada. They cited difficulty recouping claims from int’l insurance companies. I had to purchase their insurance for $12-13/day, which increased my rental cost by 25%. This policy was not stated until I arrived.

Far from airport and didn’t have my vehicleThe price. Reserved a mini van and ended up with a Dodge Ram 4 x 4. Worked out well only because the weather was dry - all our luggage went in the bed and there was no cover. Had it been wet and sloppy roads, it would have been a disaster.Was 15 min drive from airport. By the time you wait for the shuttle it’s half hour one way. I reserved months in advance a mini van and when I got there there were none available - some “broke down”. Ya right. This happens all the time with car rentals. I’m sure they over book in order to sell out to capacity. Not sure it was worth the savings.

Very nice, clean, comfortable, feature-packed vehicle. Handled well in the winter snow and ice. Didn't get the car I ordered, but they upgraded me at the same price.The battery was spotty and I needed to jump start it quite frequently in the cold weather.

No problems...I got a larger vehicle than I asked for and didn't pay extra. Better deal than the 'big box' rental companies. No issues with the vehicle. Good service.

Lest expensive suvPrice, very nice staffDid not open until 730 so when I showed up at 715 to return the car expecting the shuttle to airport it wasn't available and I almost missed my flight waiting on taxi. Even though they are listed as Calgary airport they are a 15 minute ride from the passenger side. They also had trouble accepting my American car insurance even after directly talking to Progressive. I had previously confirmed I was covered by my policy. They just couldn't agree on the paperwork of it. Sounded like the progressive customer service was uninformed but still took an extra 30 minutes at pick up. Not really a negative but not what I expected.

It's honestly hard for me to think of something I liked. The lady who picked us up from the airport was nice. Overall it was horrible.It says they are at the airport, but they are actually 20 minutes from the airport, after you have to wait 20-30 minutes for them to pick you up. Coming back to the airport you need to factor in at least an hour because they only have one small shuttle and you do not know where it will be in route.
2.0 Mediocre6 May 2019
Shuttle never showed up at airport to pick up because my pickup time was close to closing. Reservation had incorrect phone for car rental place. Number was to a local hotel, therefore getting direct contact with car rental was a hassle. Had to book a car with different company at airport.

I would gladly pay more elsewhere for a rental carI liked that we were able to have unlimited driving allowance. It was a bonus having a vehicle with command start.The vehicle didn't have bluetooth. The windshield had cracks in it and continued to crack as small chunks of snow hit the windshield (it was a Jeep). When I booked the rental, I received a detailed invoice stating I would be charged $137 CAD but when I went to pick up the car, I was charged $178 CAD. When I brought it up, I was told I had to call in to the website which was closed. It was upsetting ever since we picked up the car. I would not recommend Economy Rent a Car to anyone. I would gladly pay more to have a better experience at just about any other rental agency.

This company is okayThe price is very good, and the staff was friendly. They even called the night before to see what time I landed and asked for my flight info going over what their pickup process was going to be.This company takes a while to pick you up and get you to their offsite location (20-30 min) which is a small room inside a hotel. The car didn’t have enough windshield washing fluid which could have made the trip up the mountains very dangerous if I didn’t catch it while I was still near civilization. They were very picky while checking the condition of the car with me. Had me use my phone flashlight as it was dark out so they could write down ever scratch and chip on the body (and there ended up being a considerable amount) which makes me glad that I took the insurance (who knows if they missed a tiny scratch?) The vehicle was past due on an oil change for over 2,000 km at the time of pick up. My reservation was for a Toyota rav 4 or similar ( I love Toyota’s) and their only options were a dodge pickup truck, or 3 types of kia’s.

There was not an airport shuttle as advertised. Just a car that could not fit everyone at once. Also there was a mandatory insurance charge added at the pickup that was not disclosed by kayak. Then a mileage fee that was also not disclosed previously. I ended up paying $100 more to ace than what was advertised on kayak for only a 2 day rental. Id have never booked through kayak if I knew that would be the case and i wont be doing it again.

My first time renting a car through kayak. Terrible experience. - ace is not located at the airport despite description - had to call and wait for 20 min for shuttle pick up - no greeting by driver - pick up location in middle of nowhere - held 500.00 on my cc - needed my personal vehicle license plate number - I will never use this rental company again.

The actual car was niceThe car reaked of the guys cologne, it was also dirty when he gave it to us. The guy was not very friendly and when he dropped us off back at the airport, I had asked him if he could drop us near the taxi section and he dropped us off in a dead zone of the airport really far from the taxis with all our luggage and skis...

Great staffI was very hesitant to book with Ace after reading the reviews but they were half the price of other rental cars so I figured I’d try it. I was pleasantly surprised. I had to wait a bit to get my car when I arrived in Vancouver but when I did it was a brand new Jeep which was a free upgrade from what I reserved. I had no problems on the drive from Vancouver to Calgary (and all the sightseeing trips in between). When I dropped off the car the staff even gave us a ride to the hotel, saving us cab or Uber fare. Thanks!!

- Getting a car rental at Calgary Airport enables you to connect swiftly to central Calgary, allowing you to manage your itinerary in comfort. You can rent a vehicle and conveniently travel in and outside the city for tourism or official reasons without restrictions to public transportation schedules. Besides, the different gas stations near the airport ensure you can comfortably fuel your tank after picking up or before dropping off your car.
- The Rental Car Center at Calgary Airport is on Airport Road NE operates daily to ensure convenient access for regular and first-time passengers. In addition, the venue includes after-hours returns that let you drop off your vehicle at night, meeting your needs when dealing with a strict schedule. If you return your vehicle after hours, you can pack and lock the car, leaving the keys and completed contract in the available drop boxes in the Returns section.
- You can return your vehicle to the car rental at Calgary Airport from the city center using AB-2 N that links to Airport Road NE. Alternately, you can maneuver traffic and ride along Trans-Canada Highway to AB-2 N and follow Barlow Trail NE N to Airport Road. Drive along Departures Lane when you get closer to the airport, following the signs with a car rental icon to the rental car center on Airport Road NE. After dropping your vehicle, the staff inspects its details such as damages, fuel level, and mileage before signing off your completed contract and sending you off in a few minutes.
- Some Calgary Airport car rental providers implement a fuel policy that requires you to return the vehicle with a gas tank filled to the same level it had during pick-up. Emergencies and rush hours may force you to refill at the stations near the airport, which are generally more costly than downtown fuel stations. As such, it is advisable to organize your itinerary with Calgary rush hours in mind, which begin between around 7.30 am and 9.30 am and from about 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm.
