Fair value

Pros: Since there were several of us it worked out to be the same price as a bus or shuttle to Squamish, with the added convenience of stopping whenever you liked to take in the sights. Conveniently located with what appears to be a well managed drop off system.

Beautiful car, but expensive

Pros: The car I had was brand new so it ran really smoothly and was very clean. It was a pleasure to drive it.

Cons: It seems crazy that with Uber, Modo, Car2Go and Evo that traditional hire cars can be so rigid in their hire terms and so expensive!

An ok exprience but I have had way much better

Pros: It fits what I booked

Cons: Personnel was kind of not friendly .. more on the rude side I didn't receive electronically my bill, thus I am planning to call to make sure all is ok. Plus my bank shows that the 350 deposit is still there,, not impressed to be honest.

Better than expected

Pros: Reviews read on other sites were very critical. I went ahead and booked anyway and it was super easy. Clean car, friendly staff, and super easy. Would do again!

Cons: There's a charge (17%) if you landed at the airport within 24 hrs. I should've said it was more than 24 hrs because they didn't check anyway.

Not pleased at all!

Pros: Nothing... they didn't have my reservation so I didn't get a car!

Cons: I went to the counter and they said they didn't have my reservation. The airport was packed so.there were no free cars available so I had to take a taxi. Not very happy! I sure hope I didn't end up getting charged!

Cons: See my complaint. This is a very serious system defect that involved serious oversights of both Hertz and the sales agent. However, Hertz is primary responsible as they cannot allow two separate retailers to compete without coordination for fly in customers. The sales agent is also seriously at fault as they have serious defects in their internet web software.

Poor customer service, Poor communication, Poor advice

Cons: Called contact center to see if possible to change pickup location without changing any other aspect of order and if not to leave as was. Put on hold half hour, transferred to someone who had seemed to think wanted to place new order, transferred back but that person suddenly was feeling very ill and couldn't continue call but i would be "called back". Never contacted, checked online and lucky i did as apparently my reservation was now cancelled but had no notifications. Called back, apparently this person couldn't actually access the order but said was still there, transferred, this person did confirm was cancelled, reprocessed at a higher price. When picked up, didn't know i was coming, I asked SPECIFICALLY if car had winter tires as they are a legal requirement in the area i was going to at this point in the year. Told all weather tires were the same thing. Hit heavy snow in the high mountain passes - Those tyres are not the same at all. Ended up in a dangerous situation because Hertz had not adhered to the local laws and outfitted their cars appropriately. A terrible experience from start to finish.

I needed to go outside of airport to pick up the car.

Pros: Staff there were awesome and helpful. Which was outside of air port.

Cons: I booked for yvr airport location. Car was rented 5 mils from airport. Person at herz on airport location was rude. She said I need to pay $50 extra a day if I want to rent car from airport location. So I needed to take taxi to go to another location. I would say you should not trust herz at airport location in future.

Only one agent

Pros: The car was is good condition, clean and performed well.

Cons: There was only one agent on duty at 10:00 AM on Friday morning when a two cruise ships docked. It took over an hour for her to process all the people wanting to rent cars. She was definitely overworked, and doing the best she could, but the line was very long and the hour wait was not acceptable.

Never again

Cons: Booked a vehicle to pick up AT airport, turns out it was not at the airport but 20 minute train ride into downtown Vancouver. I booked to pick up the vehicle at 3 pm, however the downtown location closed at 3 pm and left us with a dark desk and no way to find a vehicle. When I booked it, the online page should have warned me that that particular office closed at 3 pm. No calls were made to us to find out if we were on our way or what had happened. Luckily a gentleman at the convention center onsite helped us find the last vehicle for rent in the area and we paid more and got a tiny car, but it was a vehicle and we did not have to stay the night in Vancouver. Being such a large company, I would think the website would have warned me that our pick up time and the closing time were the same and I would have researched further. Won't ever book with Alamo again.

Cons: Booked a full size. They never told me they don't have one. When I go to parking lot, they hand me over a compact (still without telling me). When I ask for full size, the day we will "UPGRADE" you to minivan. Sorry, that's not an upgrade and you could have at least told me that you don't have car I won't.

Super Efficient & Friendly

Pros: Convenient to ship disembarkation for pickup, helpful staff both at pickup and drop off. My mom has difficulty walking, so the agent at pickup brought the car to us. At drop off, she needed to use a restroom and an agent escorted her to it. We had an upgraded car, and it was new and clean. We got lost on the way to the airport for drop off, so we were a little late, but they didn't charge us extra. An excellent experience all around!

Great service

Pros: Easy pick up right at the port after our cruise. Thankfully we were later getting off the ship so there was no line when we went to pick up our car. Easy directions given to return car to SeaTac and ease of getting out of garage without having to pay for it.

Cons: The garage you pick up the vehicle in is dark so it is a bit hard to examine the car prior to picking up. But would not deter me from renting from them again.

Cons: The worst part of the deal is that the location of the rental was not at the airport, as I thought, since I did the search looking for rentals at the international airport of Vancouver. Enterprise did not honor the price of my reservation using kayak. Finally, my reservation was for a Grant Cherokee or similar, and our only choice at the end was a cherokee compass (they offer a minivan, but that was totally inappropriate for our trip). Car was fine but a little small, considering we were 4 people with luggage. Overall very disappointing.

Avis said they would not honor the low rate you quoted unless you agreed to fund the difference. You had off the rental to carrentals.com. There is no phone number to call to get it fixed. I cancelled the rental and will NEVER use your service or Carrentals.com again.

Pros: I didn't have a credit card and only debit card they cancelled my booking. I feel it's highly unfair. There are ppl in this world who manage without a credit card and car rental companies should cater to all. I then got it from another dealer who accepted cash and debit cards.

Bait and switch

Cons: I booked a Large Special on your site. I even got a message saying I got a good deal for a Large vehicle. When I got to the site, they told me the reservation was only for a compact and I needed to pay $$$ more to get a Large. Classic bait and switch, deceptive marketing. I switched to another provider.

Pros: People working at discount were very friendly and helpful

Cons: After booking, there were extra fees that weren't told about until we arrived at the rental shop. -1000$ deposit -Extra 14$/day for another driver -insurance bought from Allianz was not accepted for the car insurance.(had to purchase in store insurance).

Pros: Overall we lived how easy it was to book, and how smoothly we received the vehicle on both pickup and drop-off

Cons: A lot of hidden costs. They don't tell you about the insurance but that's an extra 25$ a day, or the bond that they hold for 2 weeks until you're picking the vehicle up. Wasn't a huge deal for us however, for those not expecting it, make sure you bring an extra 800$ for extra costs. We also received a car that had a pretty noticeable scrape/dent along the side.

Good experience renting in Vancouver

Pros: Your staff here was very patient with me. They corrected their charge for $1200+ drop off fee. They explained the preauthorization charge and the upgrade to a larger vehicle, a GMC Yukon. They honored their price and gave me a more comfortable ride. Thank you for guiding and leading me the right direction.

Cons: Your reservation record did not showed my rental price and led to some drama. I apologize for my behavior in dealing with the situation but this created an atmosphere of mistrust. I am glad it was corrected.

Excellent car, very poor service

Pros: The car was easy to drive and comfortable, absolutely no issues from when we drove out of the centre until we drove back. Overall quite decent value for money.

Cons: The service especially at the start was dreadful. Firstly, when we phoned to ask where we should be collected from at the airport, the directions given were poor. Then at the centre, they repeatedly tried to give us a car we didn't want, (we could see the car we reserved and pointed this out), the reason it seemed because they would have to move another car to get our one out, and they had misplaced the keys. When we eventually got the car we reserved, our attendant put the wrong end date into the computer (despite the fact he had our booking confirmation) and charged us for one day too few. We pointed this out after paying, and he said we would just have to pay an extra $65 on return, which he wrote on our form and we accepted. On return, we were first asked to pay the full amount, which obviously we didn't do since we had already paid for all but one day. Then we were asked to pay $82 for this day, which we agreed was correct but wasn't what we had written on our form from the first attendant.

Great car, very slow pick up from airport

Pros: Great car, very slow pick up from airport. Fortunately, they only had an a credit card. We had a high-end jeep that was fully loaded with everything. You have XM radio, navigation, it was extremely comfortable. I have a sunroof etc. Gas mileage was good. Was a great car. Check in and check out process was fine. People are friendly.

Cons: It took over an hour to have the rental agency pick us up at the airport. Some was related to traffic, but most was related to confusion by the pick up driver. They said they would not post the deposit to the credit card, what they did.

Terrible service at Discount

Pros: This rental was serviced by Discount Car Rental. The rental counter was incredibly slow and inexperienced. Worse than any car rental experience I've had. They showed my rental as a day shorter than what I'd booked with kayak, and while they said it would not be in issue on return, the guy returning his car next to me was being asked to pay an additional day for the same weird error in date. I allowed 20 min to return my vehicle, and even though I was the only customer when I arrived, they still took so long that my bus to seattle was closing the door as they dropped me off. Almost missed my coach and subsequently my flight. Would never use europcar or discount in yvr again, regardless of price.

Pros: Price is what hooked me but, it still wasn’t worth it. The shuttle drivers, to & from the airport, were very friendly.

Cons: Check out process was a bit intimidating, super detailed inspection with focus on front fascia and wheels. Hard sell on insurance which in light of the aforementioned inspection, made me uneasy like this may be a scam. I declined their insurance as I carry my own coverage. They charged my credit card a $500 deposit, not a hold but an actual charge (it has since been credited back but the fees they must be paying for this). The whole inspection, insurance, credit card charge process weighed on my mind the whole trip; I could hardly wait to return the car. Check in, same detailed inspection, no issues. Car was not washed, inside was vacuumed but, the outside was just hosed off. There was no windshield washer fluid which I needed for the road conditions on the trip up to Whistler. Will not use Economy again.

Don’t rent from them!! They bait and switch

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I reserved a full size SUV and received a mid-size SUV that we didn’t fit in!! They said that the advertisement online was incorrect..... yeah right ... they advertised a Armada which is a big SUV and said they don’t even have those cars. They gave me a Ford Explorer and wanted to charge me an extra $30 a day for winter tires... what a joke. They refunded me $70 for a week rental that would have cost $150-$175 less for that size car from another company but I was stuck with them since they are off-site from the airport and they picked us up in one of their mini vans — that don’t have a dedicated shuttle.

Cons: To compete with the big companies they could be better at streamlining pick up and drop off since they are offsite. Technology could really enhance that. Uniforms project professionalism. It is these points that could really enhance their business.
