Top tips for renting a car at St John's airport

  • A compelling reason to opt for a car rental at St John’s Airport (YYT) is the increased convenience you’ll enjoy exploring different places in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. You can visit multiple places that aren’t fully accessible by public transport. Opting for a car rental at YYT saves you long trips by Bus route. No 14, and you can take a shorter route to your destination. The collective costs of using a taxi to various destinations in the Canadian province are much higher. Utilizing a rental car will help you save money.
  • The process of collecting a car rental at St John’s Airport is smooth. The airport has several on-site car rental companies, allowing you to shop for the best car at an affordable price. Once you arrive at the airport, visit the car rental counters at the main Terminal. Make sure you carry all the required documents. After presenting your documents and completing the rental agreement, you can collect your rental car and start exploring Newfoundland and Labrador. Examine the technical conditions of the car and confirm if the necessary maps are installed before commencing your trip.
  • Dropping off your car rental at St John’s Airport is as easy as collecting it. You can return it to the pick-up or drop-off point stated in your confirmation voucher. Some rental agencies offer a 24-hour return service, so you can drop off your car during or after working hours. Other rental agencies have a scheduled drop-off time. Make sure you arrive before that stated time to avoid the later return charge. After parking the rental car at the designated drop-off point, collect your items and head to your rental company’s desk to hand over the keys and finalize the rental process. Make sure the vehicle is in perfect condition and refueled.
  • St John’s International Airport gets busy during certain times of the year. It is a busy airport preferred by tourists visiting Newfoundland and Labrador. You’ll likely experience traffic at the airport during the peak tourism season, running from May through September. More bookings are made during this period, so you will witness long queues at the car rental section. Picking up and dropping off a rental car at YYT can also be challenging during weekends, holidays, special events, and festivals.
  • Book your rental car at St John's airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I would have preferred to have the car brought to me at the terminal. I'm 65 years old and with heavy luggage it was an inconvenience to me. Likewise when I returned the car at 5:00 am.

The amount stated for booking was tripled at pickup, so Kayak never actually gave me a deal on my rental. I will NEVER recommend Kayak for deals, you guys don't make deals on price only book the vehicle.

They were extremely pleasant and friendly the car was a great vehicle for the price just a little awkward to get in and out of because I have a bad knee however the car was very clean and great on gas and very comfortable once I got in. Only wish you didn’t have to walk so far to get your car when you get off the plane other then that I would absolutely highly recommend budget to others looking for a great experience for a rental

The pickup was not smooth. No cars were available and they had only a large pick up truck and had to return later that evening. Took over an hour to get a vehicle (long wait) and the only saving grace was the counter staff as they were great but clearly overwhelmed with the lack of availability.

Initially when renting the car things were good. I got a pretty well new ride. The papers I received with damage etc gave no indication of any damage to said car. We were informed that because I declined insurance any damage was my problem. So a few days into my visit as I was walking towards car I noticed a dent in rear trunk area. Not noticed before or declared. I was upset someone struck the car and left. My heart sunk. I called my insurance company in BC and got the info I needed for claims. I took said car into Healys autorepair for an estimate. I returned car and admitted to the dent. Young fella took info but after discussion the lady attending went through her phone and admitted the ding was there already. I was relieved but afterwards thought you could do better. If not for her honesty would i have been charged??For Several days this weighed heavy on me. Debra Martens

The frond desk employees were not a pleasure to deal with. The person who handled the pick-up was distracted and when I ask for clarification on something, he was arrogant and dismissive. When we had a problem during our trip, the employee who answered the phone showed no compassion or interest in our situation and did not handle the situation professionally. He even gave very unsound advice. I ended up contacting the manager who thankfully was very supportive, listened to our concerns and was overall exceptional in her customer service! Unfortunately, the front desk people are the first and last interactions that customers have. I will probably not rent with Thrifty again.

After spending 1 hr on the phone with a Thrifty representative the day prior to my car pickup to advise that my flight was delayed, I was told on arrival that my reservation had been cancelled because I hadn’t arrived on time. Thrifty was unsure that they could find me a car. After all other customers had been cared for they addressed my issue and found a car. The car they gave me hadn’t been cleaned. I had booked the car months in advance and had prepaid for it. Totally outrageous service.
