Securing a car rental at Halifax International Airport (YHZ), also known as Halifax Stanfield International Airport, is the ideal choice for Halifax. Within the city, driving a Halifax International Airport car rental instead of using public transportation can save you more than 30 minutes of travel time. Driving a rental car is also a convenient way to explore the island of Nova Scotia, from Antigonish in the north to Yarmouth in the south. In a Halifax International Airport car rental, you can also drive to New Brunswick in just about 2 hours and to the world-renowned Prince Edward Island in just under 3 hours. Deciding to book a car rental at Halifax International Airport can help you get the most out of this fascinating corner of the world.
When you are driving a Halifax International Airport car rental, be careful about driving within the speed limit to avoid incurring a hefty fine. In Canada, the speed limit is posted in kilometers. So, if you see a posted speed limit of 50 km, do not slip into habitual thinking and drive at 50 mph, because 50 km is actually about 30 mph, and you would inadvertently be driving 20 miles over the speed limit.
If you need to wait before you can collect your car rental at Halifax International Airport, or if, due to severe weather, you want to wait until you drive away from the airport, you will find several amenities and services at the Halifax Airport that will make your wait-time there both relaxing and constructive. At Halifax Airport, you can find currency exchange, ATMs, charging ports for your phone, facilities for nursing mothers, a play area for kids, restaurants and shops, a non-denominational chapel, and more.
Extended hours of operation among most of the agencies is a benefit of booking a car rental at Halifax International Airport. Most car rental agencies within the city of Halifax tend to close by 6 pm. However, at Halifax Airport, the agencies tend to stay open much later. For example, Enterprise and Alamo stay open until midnight most days, and Avis and Hertz are usually open until 1:30 am. These longer hours are incredibly convenient for travelers who land at night or have their planes delayed.

Where can I find my rental vehicle and where do I return it?
Halifax Airport makes getting a rental car as easy as possible.

Most car rental agencies at the Halifax Airport will also require a major credit card in your name and some will require additional photo ID, such as your passport. If you intend to use your own insurance to cover your rental car, make sure that your coverage extends to Canada and find out whether you need to show proof of coverage at the time you pick up your Halifax International Airport car rental.

Poor. They charged me for an extra day despite returning the car under grace period. Falsified return time stamp to show I was more than an hour late for return.

Vincent, the rental agent at Nova Scotia's Stanfield Airport, stayed open to accomodate flights arriving late due to weather related delays. Although it was 2:00am, Vincent was friendly, cheerful, and professionally expedited everyone's rental. Vincent made many weary travelers leave with smiles on their faces. Thank you Vincent!

Pick up was great -- staff at the Halifax airport desk were friendly and quick. Drop off was the easiest and fastest we've ever experienced in 30 years of travel. And the staff member who checked us in was very personable and polite. Will absolutely use Avis again for our next trip. Thanks for the great service!
