KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Saint John

  • Car hire in Saint John offers numerous perks compared to public transportation, including the freedom to move around the city at your pace. With a hired car, you can access many places that are hardly accessible by public transport due to fixed schedules. You can visit Reversing Falls, New Brunswick Museum, Fort Howe, Rockwood Park, Irving Nature Park and even remote attractions like Fundy National Park, Hopewell Rocks and St. Martins Sea Caves. Hiring a car also provides privacy to comfortably explore the city of Saint John. You can set the vehicle to meet your preferred temperatures, play your select music and travel in a personalised environment.
  • Saint John is served by three major airports where you can hire a car, including Moncton International Airport (YQM), Fredericton Airport (YFC) and Saint John Airport (YSJ). The companies for car hire in Saint John at Moncton Airport include Hertz, Enterprise, Thrifty, Avis and Budget are on the main level of the airport’s terminal. If you are flying into Fredericton Airport, the onsite car hire companies, including Avis, Budget, Enterprise and National, are in the terminal near the luggage claim. For Saint John Airport, car hire companies onsite include Alamo, Budget, Enterprise and National. The vehicles are outside the airport’s terminal building for pick-up and drop-off.
  • Using car hire in Saint John, you’ll find there are several roundabouts; ensure you follow the traffic circle rules when approaching and exiting. Yield to the vehicles already in the circle and wait for a clear gap to enter the ring. Ensure you indicate when you are leaving the circle. Saint John occasionally experiences pedestrians crossing the road unexpectedly; therefore, be cautious, especially in urban areas with high pedestrian traffic and near pedestrian crossings.
  • Rush hours in Saint John typically run from 07:30 to 09:00 and 16:30 to 18:00. Consider using less congested routes during peak hours and avoid Highway 1, Route 1 and 7, which experience heavier traffic during peak hours. Saint John has various festivals and events throughout the year, including the Dragon Boat Festival in July, Buskers on the Bay Festival in August and Area 506 Festival during summer; these increase traffic and sometimes even cause closures of certain roads. The city experiences winter weather from December to February, which can cause icy and slippery roads. Consider hiring a vehicle with extra stability when visiting during winter. Appropriate winter tyres can be added to your Saint John car hire booking.

I reserved my car a month in advance. My payment was to be $125. When I got there I received a suv and my bill was $191. I had to walk two blocks to pick up my suv from a parking lot in the rain. The medi screen was black and I had no idea how to fix it. My friends who are seniors had a really hard time getting in and out of vehicle. My experience was not a good one sorry to say. When I returned the suv no one came to look it over with me. Very unprofessional. Cheers Heather

Excellent experience. Very friendly check-in person who moved things along quickly and efficiently for people in line (not always the case at rental counters in my experience!) Great car, of the kind we requested. Easy return and drop-off.
