Top tips for renting a car in Alberta

  • If you’re planning to go to Alberta and you’d like to rent a car while you’re there, there are many places to rent from. Alberta is home to several top car rentals in Canada. When you’re searching for the right place to rent a car from, you should look for a dealer with a good selection of cars and additional extras that suit your trip, like unlimited mileage if you are planning to cover a lot of miles. There’s nothing as frustrating as car troubles, if you purchase a rental car from a car-rental agency with a good reputation and outstanding track record, you can rest assured knowing that your rental car won’t let you down. You can find a sizable selection of top rental companies and compare different options through KAYAK.
  • Alberta is quite hot in the summer, as it receives more sunshine than any other Canadian province. This being the case, when you’re choosing a rental car, you should look for one that has a dependable AC. When it gets hot, you’ll be able to stay cool in your rental car. If it gets cold, the AC is what will provide heat in the car. Since many of Alberta’s car rentals offer vehicles with effectively performing air conditioners, it’s safe to say that finding a car with a decent AC will be easy enough.
  • Different cars suit different people. Bearing this in mind, when you’re looking for a vehicle to rent, you should search for one that you’re more familiar with. If you end up in a car whose controls you already understand, it’ll make your driving experience much easier to manage. The car you choose should also be comfortable for you and your passengers. If you intend to visit Alberta with only one other person, you should consider renting an economy car. However, if you plan to visit Alberta with four or more others, you should think about renting a minivan. The more people you have, the larger your rental car should be.
  • If you’d like to rent a car in Alberta, it’s best if you buy the full damage insurance waiver. Minor accidents happen often, and with the full damage waiver, you can drive with less pressure because you’ll know that you’re financially safe if you’re involved in a minor accident. Because the full damage waiver is surprisingly inexpensive, it would be a wise idea.
