Top tips for renting a car at Victoria Intl airport

  • Securing a car rental at Victoria International Airport (YYJ) is an efficient way to travel around the capital city of British Columbia, from one end of the peninsula to the other. Driving a Victoria International Airport car rental is also a convenient way to see all of Vancouver Island. The island is world-renowned for its parks, forests, and outdoor activities, making a Victoria International Airport car rental an asset in this corner of Canada.
  • In order to rent a car in Canada, you must be at least 21 years old and you must have had your driver’s license for at least one year. When you book a Victoria Airport car rental, if you are under the age of 25, you will most likely be charged an additional daily fee as a Young Driver. Most car rental agencies at Victoria International Airport will require you to have a major credit card issued in your own name. Furthermore, some rental car companies will require you to show proof of your own insurance coverage if you do not accept theirs. If you choose to use your own insurance, make sure that the coverage is valid in Canada.
  • If you need to wait before you can collect your car rental at Victoria International Airport, you can take advantage of the services and amenities that the airport offers. At Victoria Airport, you can find an area for children to play, a family room, an aviation museum, and an observation lounge. You can also avail yourself of luggage storage, workstations, several restaurants and shops, and more.
  • Booking a car rental at Victoria International Airport gives you the added advantage of dealing with on-site agencies with longer hours of operation. Most car rental agencies within the city of Victoria close by 6:00 pm. However, the on-site car rental agencies at Victoria International Airport tend to stay open longer. For example, Budget and National generally stay open until 12:30 am. Avis at the Victoria Airport generally stays open until 10:30 pm. Hertz and Thrifty at the Victoria Airport generally stay open until 8:00 pm.
  • Book your rental car at Victoria Intl airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Victoria Intl airport

  • Where are the car rental agencies located at Victoria International Airport?

    Victoria International Airport has five on-site car rental agencies and two agencies that are off-site. Victoria International Airport car rentals located on-site can be found across from the Information Desk in the Arrivals area. These car rental companies include Hertz, Avis, Budget, National, and Thrifty. Alamo and Enterprise are located off airport grounds. You must arrange to be picked up by an agency shuttle at the time that you make your reservation. You can catch the agency shuttle across the street from where you exit the airport at Baggage Claim.

  • Where are the rental vehicles parked at Victoria International Airport?

    In order to find your rental vehicle once you have collected the keys from one of the on-site agencies in the Arrivals area, exit the airport through the Baggage Claim. Cross Electra Boulevard, which will be directly in front of you, and bear right. This will bring you into the parking garage where the rental cars are parked. When it is time to return your car rental at Victoria International Airport, follow the Rental Car Return signs as you enter the airport grounds. This will lead you back to the same parking structure. Once you have parked your car and returned the keys, exit the parking structure and cross the road to the terminal.

  • Do I need an International Driving Permit in order to rent a car at Victoria International Airport?

    No. US citizens do not need an International Driving Permit in order to rent a car in Canada. You need a valid, government-issued, unexpired driver's license which remains valid throughout the time that you rent the car. You will also need a photo ID, which could be your driver's license or your passport.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Victoria Intl airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Victoria Intl airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, and National.

We arrived 2 hours early as they had changed our flight. The clerk was a bit rude as we were early. Gave us an upgrade to an Audi as no other SUV’s available. The Audi was too small for 4 adults and 4 large suitcases. Got good gas mileage.

We booker it online and everything was set. We landed in Victoria, we called the number to take the shuttle to get to the office to pick up the car. No one would pick up. 20 mins later someone finally did and informed us that unfortunately they dont have any cars left so the reservation is cancelled. We didnt reveive any info about this, we were left at the airport scramblimg to find a car rental that can help us, but everyone was sold out. When we found a car available, it cost us more than it should with similar type of car because we tried to book on the spot. This is very poor customer service with Alamo, i understand that things happen but communicating this to us even through email ahead of time would’ve helped us go for a plan B. But telling us that they dont have any cars left after we’ve booked way ahead of time and told us the news the moment we’re trying to pick up the car is totally wrong. I’ve travelled a lot and dealt with car rentals all the time and this is by far the worse experience i’ve had, will never book Alamo again.

Good!! Only suggestion is to contact the driver immediately by email and/or phone when a drivers licence is left behind, this is very important to driving. Otherwise great service!!

Double charged me , over $900 on my card for a different reservation when I prepaid for my reservation. Having to waste hours of my time trying to get this money back now. Picking up was a disaster and tons of people waiting hours past reservation time, most ended up cancelling and going with other company at airport.
