Top tips for hiring a car from Budget at Edmonton Airport

  • Book Budget car rentals at Edmonton Airport for convenience and flexibility. You can choose the dates you want to pick up and drop off the car without having to worry about connecting the airport shuttles. With a Budget rental car, you have the freedom to explore destinations around and beyond Edmonton. For example, the best way to visit Elk Island National Park is by car, which is 47 km away from downtown Edmonton. Ukrainian Village is just after Elk Island National Park on Highway 16, so combining the two in a one-day trip is possible with your own set of wheels. Edmonton Airport Budget car rentals make it easy to do as much as you want during your stay in Alberta's capital city.
  • Once you alight at Edmonton Airport, locating Budget car rentals is super easy. The budget rental counter is located within the arrival terminal, which is a short walk to the car lot.

The address for the drop off was wrong, the lady at the emergency phone didn’t have the correct address either, the drop location first didn’t pick up. There were no signs at the entrance of the parking lot. And there were 20 different parking lots at the biggest mall of the world. It was a nightmareReviewed 23 Sept 2024
