Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Calgary
- Calgary people carrier hire is the ideal way for families and those in large groups to get to their destination. Not only can everyone travel together, but you can also depart and arrive as you please and also go direct, which isn’t always the case with public transport. As Calgary is a popular tourist destination, you’ll find there are lots of attractions to visit, which is made easier in a people carrier. One location you should visit is Bluerock Wildland Provincial Park, which is a stunning park and garden.
- Calgary Airport (YYC) is close to the centre of the city, making it a great location to pick up your hire car from. There are lots of reputable car hire agencies to pick from, which offer people carrier services, meaning you’ll be on the road in no time at all. At the airport, you will be able to find the car hire companies with ease. For instance, you can reach Thrifty and Hertz via a short shuttle ride. Your Calgary people carrier hire provider will need to see a current driving licence, and for you to fill in some documents, before you’re given the keys to your vehicle.
- With Calgary people carrier hire, you’ll see the city has lots to offer both tourists and locals. In general, the driving style in this city is relaxed and calm, which is great if you’re driving a new vehicle, such as a people carrier. As jaywalking is not prohibited in this country, you should be wary of people crossing the road in locations that aren’t designated pedestrian crossings. With a larger vehicle, such as a people carrier, you should be aware of your surroundings due to the larger dimensions of the car. One way to do this is to regularly check your mirrors.
- With a Calgary people carrier hire, you will see the roads can be very congested. This is only enhanced when the locals drive to and from work during rush hour, which is from about 07:00 to 09:30 and 16:30 to 18:30. If you’re not a confident driver, it’s recommended that you do not drive during these times and drive in the late morning or early afternoon instead. One road that gets particularly busy is Motorway 1, which goes through the centre of the city. An alternative road to try would be 20 Ave NW, which should have less traffic on.
- 25% of our users found a people carrier hire in Calgary for $197 or less
- Book your people carrier hire in Calgary at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
I rented a car through kayak only to be told by the vendor on arrival that they were sold out and the online merchant who sold the deal to me neglected to give them any contact so that they could let me know. This was discovered after my ride left leaving me stranded on an unfamiliar road in an unfamiliar city in the cold at 5 PM when essentially everything was shutting down and derailing my plans completely. It looks like you over sold and now are pawning me off on the third party (carrentals.com) for resolution “in a few days.” The reservation was paid in advance for a rental that KAYAK was claiming to guarantee and failed to deliver. On your own website you write “we work hard as the world’s leading travel search engine to get our users the information they need so they can plan trips the way they want, confidently.” In big bold letters no less! What a crock, this was my first experience booking through you and I’ll be sure to tell everyone I know about my experience with KAYAK. Finally I request again you either secure a car so I may complete my delayed travel or refund what I paid. Thank you.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The actual car was niceCons:
The 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...2.0 Poor
