9.6 Excellent26 Apr 2020
Pros: Everything was efficient and an excellent car
10.0 Excellent26 Mar 2020
Pros: friendly staff, smooth transaction, new/clean vehicle
8.0 Excellent29 Dec 2019
Pros: It was easy to get in and out of parking and held our luggage nicelyCons: I would prefer the guy not try to get us to pay for an upgrade . He kept going on and going on about us needing a bigger car .......of course to pay more for . I ordered what o thought we needed and it was fine . No need to waste our time .
8.4 Excellent18 Nov 2019
Pros: It was easy to get the car, the car was perfect, I had a great experience with the overall renting. Easy to get there from the airport, & excellent service at the counter.Cons: It was a bit too expensive. I was shocked to learn insurance through Alamo would be $30 / day, when I could have gotten it for $12 / day through Kayak. I realize there are differences, but I don't understand the huge spike in price.
5.2 Okay12 Nov 2019
Cons: There was no windshield washer fluid. The roads were complete slush. It was awful
8.0 Excellent21 Oct 2019
Pros: carCons: ca r
10.0 Excellent5 Oct 2019
Pros: Everyone helpful and friendly. The location was easy to get out of and back into. But, there are no gas stations between hwy 2 and the airport so filling the car can be tricky. I filled before I left Calgary but still got charged for a fill up.Cons: Can’t think of anything that could be improved
4.8 Okay6 Sep 2019
Cons: Charged me more than estimated
10.0 Excellent3 Sep 2019
Pros: Quick check in and Quick selection and out the Door,Cons: Return process was a little chaotic, and unsafe , cars were coming in all lanes while we are alighting and trying to retrieve our stuff,
7.6 Good6 Aug 2019
Pros: Easy to pick up.Cons: More help on navigating out of facility; less upselling (yes, know that's how companies make more profit... but enough already. Tried to shame me into larger vehicle.. "it;s very small.. more comfortable full size..etc." Full size is too big for getting around a large city; give me what I want.

Cons: Horrible smell in car Not sure if it was a cleaning agent but it smelled like horrible perfume
8.0 Excellent11 Jul 2020
Pros: Staff was great, enjoyed the vehicle upgrade.Cons: The Grand Cherokee was poorly washed. I like a clean vehicle for business.

10.0 Excellent27 Jun 2020
Pros: Beautiful C Class for an awesome price
2.0 Mediocre1 Jun 2020
Pros: Well, I was supposed to pick up the car at 1 pm (as the working hours based on the information on your website kayak.com were 9am-1pm). But when I arrived at the location 15 mins before 1pm, it was closed and the sign on the door was saying that the working hours are 9am-12 pm!!!!! So please update your website and do not waste people’s time during this hard days!!!
2.0 Mediocre18 Feb 2020
Pros: NothingCons: They didnt have a vehicle for me when i arrived they said they had nothing and couldnt help. Didnt even offer to help me.
10.0 Excellent22 Oct 2019
Pros: Very affordable prices and the customer serviceCons: It was great!
4.8 Okay16 Oct 2019
Pros: I loved the pick up part but I hated the drop-off, I didn't get to see how much I payed, and so I have no clue about anything, he just took the keys out of my hands and said I will email you the information... now 16 hours later and still no email
5.2 Okay6 Oct 2019
Cons: Tried for several days to cancel reservation. From Kayak was unable to cancel via my account as kept getting notice that I couldn‘t cancel a reservation under someone else‘s name (??). From enterprise website every time I clicked to modify the existing reservation it refreshed to starting homepage. And rental location did not pick up phone for 5-6 calls, and no other form of contact. Four days of unsuccessful attempts - huge waste of time and very frustrating!!
2.0 Mediocre6 Oct 2019
Cons: They didn’t have the vehicle I reserved available.

10.0 Excellent21 Sep 2019
Pros: Drop off difficult to find in the dark after hours as small office
6.0 Good13 Sep 2019
Pros: The staff was helpful, basically just completed the reservation process.Cons: The wait time was too long, 1 hour to be exact. There were not enough agents to assist customers who had reservations. And more importantly, there was not an apology or explanation for the reason. People are eager to forgive if given the opportunity but only more upset if not.
9.6 Excellent1 Sep 2019
Pros: Our rate was awsome compared to others! Car was just what we needed and was available.
10.0 Excellent25 Aug 2019
Cons: The instructions for drop at different location were not clear and had to call main number to have me walked through them. E.g. me rental was to 6:00 but learned that the office was closed. Difficulty understanding the person explaining the procedure was a challenge. All in all not seamless.
6.8 Good30 Jul 2019

8.0 Excellent31 Mar 2020
Cons: Good
5.2 Okay20 Sep 2019
Pros: Drop-off process is very quick. Car was in mint condition.Cons: The pick-up process is way too long! The agent was too pushy to sell extra insurance. Airport taxes are expensive and not appearingin the initial quote reczived by email. Was not the case when I rented in Vancouver via another agency
4.0 Okay17 Sep 2019
Cons: The check in process and subsequent drop off was not done well and not clear. The car was small for a medium sized SUV. We were also told that we could prepay the gas but then told when we arrived that if the tank wasn’t 100% full, no refund for that gas. They should have told us that upfront.
8.0 Excellent19 Aug 2019
Pros: Easy pickup at the airportCons: Managers special was a large truck, would have preferred some option for a car.
6.4 Good20 Jul 2019
Pros: The saff was very tired - check-in around midnight. They rather work other stuff than take care of the customers.Cons: The staff could have been more interested in the customers. But when you already are the largest rental car company, why bother with the customers?
4.0 Okay16 Jul 2019
Pros: Staff should have taken care of my car switchCons: I was given a monster truck-5.7L engine. Fuel sucker. They said I had got the managers special. Then when I asked for a smaller veh, and after waiting minimum 45 min on line, they said I would be up charged roughly $120 and have to wait another 40 minutes or so-
8.8 Excellent15 Jul 2019
Cons: I was charged for a damage I didn't do. It seems that attendants do not thoroughly check for damages, and then the next customer has to pay for someone else's damage. I noticed this because I DID find a scratch on the car initially and reported it. But missed seeing the chip on the window. Lame.
9.6 Excellent11 Jul 2019
Pros: Georges (sp) the agent who handled our transaction was excellent and due to some problems upgraded us to a larger vehicle at no additional charge. He was very knowledgeable great to work with.Cons: My only complaint was taxes and fees added an additional 25% or more to the cost of the car rental and it would have been nice to know this before getting to the rental counter.
2.0 Mediocre8 Jul 2019
Cons: Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Had a prepaid reservation which they did not honor (at night). I had to rent a last minute vehicle from another location for triple the price as it was the other company’s last one.

9.6 Excellent1 Oct 2020
Pros: Ana Maria was a great person to deal with. Customer service was par excellence. She was quick to point out the facts and help us out with the rental. Mike was courteous too. I was amazed at their customer service. Prompt and proactive.Cons: The vehicle had some side pockets on the door that were not cleaned and there were food crumbs near the gear-shifter from previous rental. We had to wipe it clean with a wet towel and a disinfectant especially in this pandemic environment.

Pros: Friendly staff. This is the third time I've rented from this location and there's always a bit of a wait.Cons: The after hours drop off worked well but they tell customers "you are responsible for the vehicle until the keys are picked up in the morning". So it feels risky to do it but we had to due to our timelines.

Friendly Service, Awesome VehiclePros: The 2016 Surburban LTZ reserved was exactly what we needed to transport 7 with carry-on size luggage on a trip from Calgary to Kelowna. I called in a few months before to ask for either a Surburban or Yukon XL so it was great that Driving Force was able to accommodate my needs. This vehicle had all the added bells and whistles such as, adaptive cruise control, pretty good fuel mileage for it's size, collision sensors, A/C seats (front only), and a pretty bumping sound system. It definitely made it easier for me to feel safe and confident enough to drive the SUV since I normally drive a Mazda 3 so it was a big change for me.Cons: Honestly nothing to complain about!

Good Car, Unexpected Extra CostPros: Great customer service at pick up. Shuttle service. Nice vehicle.Cons: Unexpected extra fees, not included in Kayak quote...final cost was $100 MORE...NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. Rental company blamed Kayak for not informing me about those fees. I won’t book through Kayak or that company again...not cool to be overcharged.

Took 40 minutes to get picked up from the airportPros: Car was new and clean and drove well. Staff at the office was nice and friendly. Price was fair. They did not hassle me about getting insurance.Cons: Called the office to have the shuttle come pick me up at the airport. It took 40 minutes for them to arrive. Then their garage is another 15-20 minutes from the airport. If you are flying in and out of the airport and time and convenience is important to you, rent from someone at the airport.

VanPros: Clean.Cons: I was upgraded to a van at no extra charge, but it was too big of a vehicle for me, and consumed lots more gas than the car I asked for would have. I was told at time of pick up that there would be a shuttle to the airport for me, but when I arrived to return the van, they were closed and I had to pay for a cab.

Excellent vehicle at a great pricePros: I rented a Yukon XL and it was a 2018 with 2K km's. It was loaded with everything including a DVD which was great for a long drive.Cons: They overbooked my reservation that I had for 6 weeks. They tried to slough off a Ford Transit instead, but after I refused they miraculously found my reservation at another location. I had to drive there to pick it up, but after that all was good.

2.0 Mediocre25 Feb 2021
Cons: I rented a car through kayak only to be told by the vendor on arrival that they were sold out and the online merchant who sold the deal to me neglected to give them any contact so that they could let me know. This was discovered after my ride left leaving me stranded on an unfamiliar road in an unfamiliar city in the cold at 5 PM when essentially everything was shutting down and derailing my plans completely. It looks like you over sold and now are pawning me off on the third party (carrentals.com) for resolution “in a few days.” The reservation was paid in advance for a rental that KAYAK was claiming to guarantee and failed to deliver. On your own website you write “we work hard as the world’s leading travel search engine to get our users the information they need so they can plan trips the way they want, confidently.” In big bold letters no less! What a crock, this was my first experience booking through you and I’ll be sure to tell everyone I know about my experience with KAYAK. Finally I request again you either secure a car so I may complete my delayed travel or refund what I paid. Thank you.

What rental?Pros: Not much at all.Cons: We waited in line for 20 minutes only to be told they had no car for us. They walked us down to Hertz where we waited another 30 minutes in line only to be told we had to wait for a car. We waited 45 minutes. We ended up arriving to our destination over an hour late and missing an important dinner. The car itself was fine, but we will never rent from dollar again - when you add in the list time and missed dinner with colleagues, this was a very expensive rental and one we don’t want to repeat. There was no apology and no explanation - they oversold and did nothing.

Great desk staff. Car not checked over properly.Pros: Friendly professional desk staff.Cons: The car has a slow leak in the right front tire. I wish I'd paid better attention to ensure the care had cruise control. Leaving the parkade on foot involves a trip through a nasty old stairwell and corridor where I thought I might get stabbed. The frost scraper was badly chipped and mostly useless. If pickup/dropoff was an option, I wasn't made aware of it.

Had it been wet and sloppy roads, it would have been a disaster.Cons: Was 15 min drive from airport. By the time you wait for the shuttle it’s half hour one way. I reserved months in advance a mini van and when I got there there were none available - some “broke down”. Ya right. This happens all the time with car rentals. I’m sure they over book in order to sell out to capacity. Not sure it was worth the savings.

Overall it was horrible.Cons: It says they are at the airport, but they are actually 20 minutes from the airport, after you have to wait 20-30 minutes for them to pick you up.

When I booked the rental, I received a detailed invoice stating I would be charged $137 CAD but when I went to pick up the car, I was charged $178 CAD. When I brought it up, I was told I had to call in to the website which was closed. It was upsetting ever since we picked up the car. I would not recommend Economy Rent a Car to anyone.

This company is okayPros: The price is very good, and the staff was friendly. They even called the night before to see what time I landed and asked for my flight info going over what their pickup process was going to be.Cons: This company takes a while to pick you up and get you to their offsite location (20-30 min) which is a small room inside a hotel. The car didn’t have enough windshield washing fluid which could have made the trip up the mountains very dangerous if I didn’t catch it while I was still near civilization. They were very picky while checking the condition of the car with me. Had me use my phone flashlight as it was dark out so they could write down ever scratch and chip on the body (and there ended up being a considerable amount) which makes me glad that I took the insurance (who knows if they missed a tiny scratch?) The vehicle was past due on an oil change for over 2,000 km at the time of pick up. My reservation was for a Toyota rav 4 or similar ( I love Toyota’s) and their only options were a dodge pickup truck, or 3 types of kia’s.

Pros: The actual car was niceCons: The car reaked of the guys cologne, it was also dirty when he gave it to us. The guy was not very friendly and when he dropped us off back at the airport, I had asked him if he could drop us near the taxi section and he dropped us off in a dead zone of the airport really far from the taxis with all our luggage and skis...

Pros: NothingCons: After receiving the email confirmation I made specific plans to get a ride to the pick location office only to be told they don't have the car and nothing could be done about it. Then I had to pay Uber for a ride back to my hotel. No offers to help in any way. Who runs a business like this?

Cons: They could have provided the car for me that I had reserved. They said I would be inconvenienced but they did not have a car for me and did nothing to help me out.

Great staffPros: I was very hesitant to book with Ace after reading the reviews but they were half the price of other rental cars so I figured I’d try it. I was pleasantly surprised. I had to wait a bit to get my car when I arrived in Vancouver but when I did it was a brand new Jeep which was a free upgrade from what I reserved. I had no problems on the drive from Vancouver to Calgary (and all the sightseeing trips in between). When I dropped off the car the staff even gave us a ride to the hotel, saving us cab or Uber fare. Thanks!!

Top tips for hiring a car in Calgary
- Calgary is a paradise for lovers of the great outdoors. Situated at the junction of the Bow and Elbow Rivers and with the Canadian Rockies on your doorstep, exploring the surroundings of Calgary is a dream with a hire car. The world famous Banff National Park is only a little over an hour’s drive west and will leave you awestruck with the picturesque turquoise glacial lakes, untouched wilderness, and natural hot springs. Canada’s third largest city by population is located nearly 3,500 feet above sea level and has something to offer for every willing traveler.
- Once you land at Calgary International Airport and collect your baggage, follow the signage to the Car Rental Center elevator. On the second level you will find the counters of multiple major car hire companies including Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Thrifty. The drive from the airport to downtown is seamless along the AB-2 S Highway and will only take approximately 25 minutes. If you are heading to Banff National Park you can either take the Highway 1, which will allow you to pass through Calgary on the way, or the Stoney Trail (201) Highway, which is a more direct route.
- Canada, and specifically the mountain range, is blessed with wildlife that sometimes feels an explorative urge and wanders onto the roads. Be mindful when driving and keep an attentive eye out for animals. If you do approach any hazardous animals, remember to drive carefully and reduce speed.
- Thanks to its higher altitude, Calgary can experience significant snowfall in the winter months, causing difficult driving conditions. The roads are designed to best deal with this snowfall; however it is important that you follow some simple tips to increase your safety. Scrape any accumulated snow off your car before driving, paying extra attention to the windows and headlights. Listen to weather reports and adhere to any warnings; the city has a Traffic Advisory station which you can tune in to at 106.5 FM. Be mindful to reduce your speed when driving in poor conditions and be extra cautious around pedestrians.
