Calgary car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Calgary 
Verified travelerSept 2024
If you plan on doing a lot of hiking outside of Calgary namely, in Banff and Jasper NP's, be sure and book an AWD vehicle. Glad we were upgraded from a sedan!
Verified travelerOct 2024
Ask for the winter tires if you planned on going in the Rockies in October and later.
Verified travelerJul 2024
Hertz’s customer service was very satisfactory.
Verified travelerJun 2024
Make sure the vehicle is full of gas upon pick up. The gas tank indicator on the instrument panels on many vehicles are not very accurate, and can be off by a considerable amount of litres of gas. Also give yourself enough time for the return of the vehicle, especially if you have to catch a flight. This rental agency is very busy.
Verified travelerAug 2024
QEEQ is a good booking agent. If driving across provinces and dropping off in a difference province check the fuel prices at destination before picking up vehicle and deciding to pre-pay fuel. When booking, check whether the car has in car navigation activated and if CarPlay is enabled

Vehicles are expensive to rent in Calgary, book early!

I have never driven suv before. Handled like a small car. Upon online bookin I booked extra collision but when picked suv up found I could have insured with Avis. Which I would have. But no trouble.
Verified travelerJan 2024
Rent at Enterprice. Fair deals and good customer service. Never go to Budget. We learned it the hard way. Next year we will be renting at Enterprice again!
NikhilDec 2023
Easy to get around. Did not take winter tire package and was still fine on city roads.
MoniqueSept 2023
We were in Canmore. The drive to Canmore was easy and the road great. The nearest gas station we found to fill the car before returning it was at 430 Country Hills blvd NE, T3K 5A5. It is at 8 minutes from Budget.
RussellSept 2023
The roads are excellent and traffic is busy but nothing like LA. Parking downtown can be a little expensive, but it is nice to see such nice accommodations for walking paths, bike paths, parks and scooter rentals if you are not driving around.
Verified travelerOct 2023
A fantastic idea, glad I decided to rent be shuttle. Driving in Calgary is super easy and the highways to Banff are wide and not congested. Was a very pleasant drive getting around!!
Verified travelerSept 2023
Calgary is very car-focused so driving is pretty easy. The place is very sprawled out, and though their transit system (especially light rail) are great, driving makes life a bit easier.
Verified travelerSept 2023
Do not use Thrifty. Use Enterprise - they were excellent and found a car for me at short notice
YokoSept 2023
It is easier to rent a car at airport
Verified travelerOct 2023
Leave some distance with trucks on highway. They can spray your windsheald with snow, and you wont see anything infront of you for a few seconds.

Calgary driving is easy… be sure to refill gas tank even tho stations are not easy to find

We scheduled an Uber driver to pick us up when we dropped off the car and put the key in the night box and everything went perfect . They are only open week days from 9 to 5. If you can make that work , they are great. It worked perfect for us.
Verified travelerAug 2023
We paid a small additional fee to return our car to the airport instead of back to where we got it from which would’ve been out of the way and a hassle.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Layout of Calgary is very simple. Several major roadways (“trails”) get you to the area of your destination. Smaller streets and avenues branch off from there.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Calgary is a large spread out city. We would have been lost without Maps on our cell. We got around Calgary very easy with it.

Study the main thoroughfares on the map to understand the general flow of traffic in and out of the core areas and expect construction all the time - it’s a growing city that never stops expanding.

Find out if a shuttle to car rental part. Ask for a clean car. Watch all the upselling attempts. Gas goes far in Calgary.

Driving in calgary is nice but the different style of intersections compared to ontario made it a little bit confusing

Roads are horrible but make sure to follow the speed limits as there are plenty of speed cameras

Had a problem with Banff city parking over a weekend. Parked the vehicle and while purchasing parking pass, some one kept a ticket for parking violation. Need to send all the snips showing the time to waive it off. So be careful on parking in banff city. Purchase the parking token soon and keep record of the same.

When you are on the busy roads traffic is crazy. I tried to use more side roads to get to my destinations.

Figure out parking options and their prices ahead of the travel. Part of the stay not the rental car price though.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Calgary

  • Calgary is a paradise for lovers of the great outdoors. Situated at the junction of the Bow and Elbow Rivers and with the Canadian Rockies on your doorstep, exploring the surroundings of Calgary is a dream with a hire car. The world famous Banff National Park is only a little over an hour’s drive west and will leave you awestruck with the picturesque turquoise glacial lakes, untouched wilderness, and natural hot springs. Canada’s third largest city by population is located nearly 3,500 feet above sea level and has something to offer for every willing traveler.
  • Once you land at Calgary International Airport and collect your baggage, follow the signage to the Car Rental Center elevator. On the second level you will find the counters of multiple major car hire companies including Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Thrifty. The drive from the airport to downtown is seamless along the AB-2 S Highway and will only take approximately 25 minutes. If you are heading to Banff National Park you can either take the Highway 1, which will allow you to pass through Calgary on the way, or the Stoney Trail (201) Highway, which is a more direct route.
  • Canada, and specifically the mountain range, is blessed with wildlife that sometimes feels an explorative urge and wanders onto the roads. Be mindful when driving and keep an attentive eye out for animals. If you do approach any hazardous animals, remember to drive carefully and reduce speed.
  • Thanks to its higher altitude, Calgary can experience significant snowfall in the winter months, causing difficult driving conditions. The roads are designed to best deal with this snowfall; however it is important that you follow some simple tips to increase your safety. Scrape any accumulated snow off your car before driving, paying extra attention to the windows and headlights. Listen to weather reports and adhere to any warnings; the city has a Traffic Advisory station which you can tune in to at 106.5 FM. Be mindful to reduce your speed when driving in poor conditions and be extra cautious around pedestrians.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Calgary for R502 or less
  • Book your car hire in Calgary at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Calgary are around 16% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Calgary

    A four-wheel drive is the safest car option to help navigate icy roads. A Jeep Grand Cherokee or similar 4WD will provide extra traction on the surface, leading to easier control and handling.

Agency had a long (several hour) wait for cars upon arrival. Item left in car (hat) and, even after notifying the agency within minutes, they could not locate the hat. We received follow-up the next day due to the agency not having a record of us returning the car. Overall, a disorganized operation.

Great staff. Passenger van rented in Calgary during snow storm. No winter tires, stuck a few times, had to avoid any hills. Driver's windshield wiper didn't touch windshield making visibility an issue.

Convenient location right by the terminal, not the cheapest option but reasonable but the bonus is open much later for pickup/return if you're flying in late. Everything was a breeze, no issues at all.

I rented a car one-way from Calgary airport with a drop off in Banff. I rented the car at about noon and return the car in Banff approx. 7:00pm. I told them I’d be arriving to Banff after they closed at 6:00pm and I was told to put the keys on the drop box. It took me forever to find the parking and when I did find it. I followed the Avis return signs. Once I made about 2 turns down the parking garage, I came to a sign that said the Avis rental car return was closed and to go back up a level. I did this, I found a place to park and went upstairs and dropped the keys in the drop box. I had the car approx. 7 hours total. Today, 4 days later, I got a call from Avis asking if I still had the rental car that was supposed to be returned on the 12th. I told him all of this and I still have not heard back, I still have a huge charge on my credit card and no receipt. Absolute WORST experience!!!

I have reserved a standard SUV, Hertz did not have a standard SUV available and they provided a van. I specifically wanted a four wheel drive and the van is not a four wheel drive. The big problem is I have been mislead by the Herts agent who told me they will give me a discount but in the end I was charged more than I was supossed to be charged on the standard SUV.

Horrible experience they were not open and were not answering the phone, so how was I supposed to pickup the car or drop it off. No assistance from customer service ..essentially I cancelled the rental as I couldn’t talk to anyone at the location and customer service wouldn’t help me .

Have only used Hertz one other time before this trip, probably because their rates are typically higher than the more budget minded rental car companies, but my two experiences now with Hertz have taught me that you get what you pay for. Hertz was a case in point.

Long waiting at the beginning, car wasn’t prepared, quite expensive but I had no other choice. Drop off terrible and I still have no deposit back (2 days). At least car was OK.

I showed up after reserving my car and was told there was only a smaller car available. I was told the cost would remain the same despite the car being a small SUV. I cancelled my reservation and immediately went to Avis who gave me a larger SUV at a less price than I even paid originally. I will NEVER be using Budget again.

The car we were provided was amazing! (They upgraded us to an SUV) It was so easy to pick up and drop off. The customer service was so good. Quick and painless. The only thing that could be improved was the cleanliness of the vehicle. It had some crumbs on the seats and a spilled ice cream mark on the back seat. This has never happened before so I am assuming that they just had a ton of rentals back to back during the busy stampede week. Nothing that a quick vacuum before we left couldn't fix. 😁
