Top tips for hiring a car in Abbotsford
- Renting a car in Abbotsford allows you to explore the city and other off-the-beaten path locations nearby at your own pace, without having to depend on public transportation or pay hefty sums for taxis. Hop in the car and visit some of the city’s best attractions, such as Castle Fun Park and Clayburn Village, or head to nearby Langley, which is only 20 miles away and is known for its world-famous wineries.
- Most of the big car hire agencies, including Avis, Budget, and Hertz, can be found at Abbotsford International Airport (YXX), which is conveniently located about 4.1 km (2.5 miles) southwest of the city center. Car hire services are situated in the baggage claim area of the airport's passenger terminal. If you’re visiting in the winter, make sure to book a car that has A/C.
- Abbotsford is a fairly easy city to navigate, but remember that traffic signs will be expressed in kilometers rather than miles. If you're driving in the winter, be extra careful as it snows sometimes and roads can get more slippery. In case you’re visiting in August, be aware that the Abbotsford International Airshow attracts plane enthusiasts and crowds from all over Canada and the United States.
- While traffic in Abbotsford tends to flow nicely throughout the day, there are some routes into and out of the city that get rather packed. Highway 1 from Abbotsford to Vancouver can experience some bumper-to-bumper traffic, especially during rush hour. The route from Chilliwack to Abbotsford can also be pretty congested. Avoid driving between 6:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., especially downtown.

Oct 2019
Pros:
The man who was completing our paper work entrusted me with his GPS holder mount to use with my phone and just asked if I could return it to him on delivery of the car, which I did.Cons:
I requested a GPS and none available. Also The car was parked at the further most spot from the rental location and was raining pretty hard. There were 3 staff behind the counter and I was at that moment the only customer at the counter. It would have been appreciated had they brought the car to the nearest door. Also when filling the gas tank to return the car I inadvertently left the car in reverse and the steering locked up and was unable to unlock it. I contacted the office and the only advice I received was to call a tow service, didn't even provide a phone no.National
