Ottawa International Airport has about 10 rental companies stationed at the onsite car rental center. Some popular international car hire providers at YOW include Budget, Alamo, Hertz, and National. The center is located on Level 1 of the Parkade inside the main terminal building. It is easy to find since it is just a few steps away from the baggage claim area. The pick-up car lot is a short walk away, which makes the pick-up process.
If you’re looking for convenience when picking up a car rental at Ottawa International Airport, look into Alamo and Budget. These companies have favorable operating hours since they remain open till 1 am. They save renters who arrive past 10 pm the trouble of finding a car rental outside the airport. These companies also provide the renter a chance to make a drop off at their best advantage by having an after-hours return service. A valet return service is also an option when you book Ottawa International Airport car rentals at Budget.
Car rental at Ottawa International Airport is only available to renters above 21 years. Those aged 21 to 24 will still incur an additional underage surcharge. Renters require a valid driver’s license and a major credit card with matching names. If the driver’s license is in the non-Roman alphabet, you must also acquire an international driver’s permit essential for translation. An additional form of identification, like a passport, is also required.
Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Ottawa Airport to off-airport locations include Ace, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Discount Car & Truck Rentals, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, National, NU Car, and Routes Car & Truck Rentals.

Pros:
The staff at pick-up was super friendly.Cons:
The interior of the car could have been cleaner. The drop-off experience could have been WAY better. They might be able to update their Computer System - 1 -easy access for local locations to change drop-off if that's what the customer is requesting, and 2 - have the ability to convert currency!10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
The vehicleCons:
I got there and they didn’t have the Jeep Wrangler initially and tried to talk me into another car. Ended up getting me the correct vehicle after a bunch of wasted time. Upon return they couldn’t find the vehicle or my reservation in the system. It took a ridiculous amount of time to find it and they claimed i was assigned the wrong vehicle. I had to pull up all my emails because they couldn’t find the car in the system after repeatedly asking if I was sure I was returning it to the right place. At the end they were able to make something work so I could get to my plane on time. They did apologize for the inconvenience but it was frustrating overall.10,0 Wonderful

Cons:
We received quite a larger vehicle than booked as the type of vehicle we had booked was not available so I think the vehicle should have been the correct size. Also, the vehicle had Florida license plates and being in Canada and driving, because of the travel restrictions and people’s heightened stress, we didn’t feel comfortable driving in Canada with the Florida plates under Covid.10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
After streetparking my mirror had been flopped back. Sure enough-two dents in the door - I had been side swiped. I reported to insurance and Avis Ottawa who were very calm and supportive. Returning the car, an employee immediately told me that it was old damage. Honest and clear service.2,0 Poor

When someone rents a GPS it should have instructions with it or the operation be explained. I could not get sound out of it and old address kept coming up. It was night time rain and it seems all the City is in Construction, and the GPS does not work very dangerous.10,0 Wonderful

Jan 2019
Pros:
With the red part at the bottom of the gauge and the hash marks at various points, and the confusing symbols for "full and "empty (Yes, I know a filled circle should be full and an empty circle empty but if you don't drive all the time and as I said, the red colour at the bottom made me think that the graph would turn red as it emptied.) Then, after reading the materials, saying the car was 8/8 full, I thought maybe the rpm thing to the left, which has 8 divisions, was the gauge. The woman who was working your counter on Dec. 24 at 7 pm when I picked up my car was phenomenal. Give her a raise and hold onto her. There were 3 of us and she handled us professionally and with friendliness that's rare these days. A++ for her.10,0 Wonderful
