Top tips for renting a car at Edmonton airport

  • A car rental at Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is mandatory, especially if you plan on visiting destinations in small towns that public transport cannot access. Edmonton International Airport car rentals come in handy by giving you the freedom of operating at your schedule, unlike the use of buses which forces you to operate on the fixed schedule of the bus. Car rentals are also cheaper than the use of taxis throughout your stay.
  • Fortunately, travelers can book a car rental at Edmonton International Airport via KAYAK. Booking your rental with KAYAK is fast, easy, and convenient since you do it from home and save big through the discounts available on the website. Finding a fitting rental on KAYAK is easy. Simply filter your search according to your budget and preferred rental type. Do this a few days before your flight and quickly drive away with your rental when you arrive at Edmonton International Airport.
  • Making returns at Edmonton International Airport is easy because the return car lot is the same as the pick-up lot. This way, you can easily find it. Follow the directions leading to the return lot when you enter the airport. An important thing to keep in mind about a drop off is to make sure your rental is clean, free from damage, and free from your belonging. Making drop offs during your agency’s operating hours is ideal. However, some agencies like National provide after-hours return services for a more convenient drop off.
  • Edmonton International Airport experiences peak times before 9 am and between 2 pm and 6 pm. These are the worst times to transit through the airport. During these times, it can take up to 2 hours to transit through the airport and pick up your rental. For a smooth and quick transit, try looking for flights that arrive outside peak times. The airport is also busy during holidays like summer. We advise against flying into the airport during such holidays if possible.
  • Book your rental car at Edmonton airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I liked the vehicle and Patti was amazing⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When I picked the Tesla I said iI would be late because I work in the oilfields and transportation was behind. Ya no problems. But when I called and said I'd be late late maybe an hr because couldn't find a charging station in Leduc and I'd have to take it back to Edmonton. All I got was we'll charge you a late return fee. So its ok to pick up late but return a little late? Then the person who person at reception either has a bad attitude or having a bad day. "Customer service", is not bad attitude it's doing what you can to the best of your abilities to make to customer feel like you actually care. This isn't the first time I've had a bad experience with Hertz. Patti was the only person plus the pickup staff that actually made me think, ok it was just that other time with the bad attitudes. Anyways liked the car andn Patti. Don't think I'll will be using Hertz again

The address for the drop off was wrong, the lady at the emergency phone didn’t have the correct address either, the drop location first didn’t pick up. There were no signs at the entrance of the parking lot. And there were 20 different parking lots at the biggest mall of the world. It was a nightmare

Our interaction was seamless, both when picking up and dropping off. The gentlemen who helped us were wonderful and friendly. Charles and Stanley were their names ( I hope I am remembering correctly). While the wait to pick up was a bit long, Charles seemed to be training another employee while helping us, so it was understandable. Overall I am very happy. The price was great too. In a time when it’s difficult to get great service in the service industry, these young men definitely stand out. Thank you so much! Dale McCarthy

The car was great, but they claimed I had a full tank when it was only half full. I called to report that it only had a half tank, and had pictures to prove it, but they still charged me a refueling fee when I teturned the card with more fuel than I got it with.

The customer service agent changed my reservation at the counter leading to me having to pay extra for days I had originally booked and she charged me for insurance coverage and I agreed to that, however on my rental agreement it stated that I had declined the coverage. It was a big mess and I won’t be booking with them again.
