KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Surrey
Excited to explore Surrey and the greater Vancouver area? Well, there is no better way than in a hire car. For instance, say you want to catch a Vancouver Canuck’s match, you could drive there in 20 to 30 minutes or you could spend 40 minutes to over an hour on public transportation.
Many visitors like to pick up their hire cars as soon as they land at the airport. Travelers with flights landing at Vancouver International Airport will find the hire car desks just outside the airport’s terminal, on the ground floor of the main parking lot.
Surrey is located in one of the world’s northernmost rainforest biomes and, as a result, the city experiences its fair share of rainstorms. Hydroplaning can be a worry during sudden showers that occur most frequently between October and March. If you find your car to be hydroplaning, simply ease off the petrol and avoid any large steering motions.
Surrey, as a part of the greater Vancouver area, does experience some moderate rush hour traffic and congestion. On a normal workday, drivers can expect rush hour to pick up at around 7:00 a.m. in the morning and to last until 9:00 or 9:30 a.m. In the afternoon, the rush hour starts back up again at around 4:00 p.m. and cools down by around 7:00 p.m. Highway 91 is the main road to avoid during rush hour, particularly during peak hours.
Medium hire cars in Surrey are around 54% cheaper than other car types, on average

As an older guy, I rent a couple of times a year just to have the mobility of a car. As Santa, I need a car for the whole month of December, so for years I have been renting cars, especially the month of December. I have rented from practically every company there is. This year, my experience with these guys was simply the very best ever. I doubt I will ever use anyone else again! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Even the guys who service and clean the cars are warm and personable. The manager, Ronit, is even more incredible; he takes the time to get everything just right. This year, I had a complex problem with my invoice, which I needed to get reimbursed. He spent almost half an hour on the computer, ensuring it was done 100% correctly for the accountants. I simply cannot say enough good things about Ronit and the staff here at Dollar (and Hertz and Thrifty - all together). As a descendant of Scots, price is vital to me...... here again, these guys are the best. Businesses which take such good care of their clients are all too rare; they fully deserve our patronage.

When I went to pick up the car, the price was higher than on kayak. I told them I was gonna put in a complaint so they refused to rent me the car I work in the FILM ministry. I’m a Teamster. We went with vehicles all the time from all different rental companies this is appalling and I certainly will spread around as much Negative information as I can. They should not be in business and you shouldn’t be in business with them it just makes you look like a pathetic company.

Had to wait for 1.5 hours for car pick up as it was not ready. After getting the car the fuel was at 1 bar which I wasn’t expecting plus the rear view camera was not working. I had to take the vehicle for check up of rear view camera and problem was not fixed which took another 1 hour.
