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.

No pick up service from the Abbotsford airport. The airport location was sold out so we had to take a taxi in to the automall location where we picked up our rental.

I picked up my car from the hertz rental place and advised them my car was fixed ealy and I may not need the car for as long. They said no problem. I returned it the next day and they told me to call the number to get the refund and that it would be no problem at all. I did not get any kind of refund at all nor did they give me the car back for the time I rented it for. Out 450$. They gave me incorrect info. Had I been told the correct info when I picked it up I would have changed the reservation at that time. So I paid 450$ and got the car for only one day. When it was returned they could not give me back the car I paid for as it was now returned. This was my first time renting a car. I am not happy.

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.

I had booked a minivan and was given a SUV which could not fit the luggage that we had brought from overseas. Secondly, National charged us twice for the rental and I have been following up with National to refund the additional payment that they have charged me (CAD 1,711). This has yet to be resolved. Request Kayak team to help me resolve this issue please. Thanks, Farhan

There are NO vehicles of this description at the Abottsford airport location. Hyundai Venues don’t exit at AVIS Car Rental at the Abottsford Airport, rather they claim that the “category” which they sold it under (Compact/SUV) “does not exist” and they trade you “down” to a compact car but charge you the same price which you originally signed up for. So, the racquet here is offer cheap prices but trade you down a car model while keeping the price the price set for a model you thought you would get based on the site marketing.

It was ok if you don’t have any car issues, otherwise the call service is terrible to help you out. We had flat tire issue( tires are worn out) couple hours after we had the car and took few hours to get help. The call center is terrible, they can’t really help you other than give you the car rental place number (can’t reach anyone). We have to find the number ourselves.
