Top tips for hiring a car in Vancouver

  • Car rentals in Vancouver are a convenient way to explore all of the nearby attractions both within the city limits and in the surrounding region. Head to the charming towns of Salmon Creek and Portland, which are easy to reach from Vancouver if you opt to drive. If you enjoy hiking, you will want to go to the scenic Frenchman's Bar Hiking Trail, which is approximately a 20min drive from the city.
  • If you will be flying into the city, you have the option of picking up Vancouver car rentals directly from Portland International Airport. Simply head to the airport’s car rental center, which can conveniently be found on the first level of the short-term parking garage. As it is such a short walking distance from the airport’s main building, you will not need to take a shuttle or taxi. There are a few different rental companies that can be found here, including Avis, Enterprise, and National.
  • Vancouver is known for having a high volume of pedestrians, so always be on the lookout when you are driving. Pedestrian crossing areas are not always clearly marked, so you will want to drive extra cautiously, particularly when you are downtown. If you are in an intersection and the green light is blinking, this is a signal that a pedestrian may be crossing and that you should drive slowly. The city is also home to many cyclists, so keep your eyes open for bike lanes to ensure that you are not driving in them.
  • The city has become known for having a high level of traffic, particularly along the main roads and including highways 5 and 205. If you don’t want to risk getting caught in a traffic jam, avoid driving along these roads during rush hour, which is considered to be from 9:30am to 10:30am and from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. There is often snow and ice in Vancouver during winter months, so make sure to reduce your speed if this is the case, as well as outfit your vehicle with appropriate winter gear.
  • Book your car hire in Vancouver at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini car hire in Vancouver are around -80% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

Pickup and dropoff were a breeze

Cons:

Car was filthy, but I rented at the last minute so maybe there was no time to clean? Windows had paint pen on them, windshield had tape on it like it had just been replaced, interior hadn't been cleaned and there might have been mustard on the steering wheel!

Drop off was easy because they were closed and all I did was drop the keys in a drop box.

They had no cars available. They told me to go to the airport location to get a car. The airport location had no cars and said even if they did, they couldn’t honor a reservation for another location.

Pros:

Nothing positive- I took a taxi to the location after booking and there were zero vehicles. I had booked an SUV, but they said they hadn’t had one returned in days.

Cons:

A vehicle onsite, an apology, or an attempt at a solution. The staff weren’t helpful in the least. Never renting from Hertz again :(
