KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Vancouver

  • The North Shore mountain range provides a picture perfect backdrop to the city of Vancouver -- visiting them during your travels is a must. Renting a car will give you the ability to access the mountain range and a long list of adventure activities. Having a car will give you the ability to go skiing or snowboarding on the world-renowned Cypress Mountain, or explore the spectacular views that hikes across Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour have to offer.
  • Picking up a hire car at Vancouver International Airport (VIA) could not be simpler; hire company counters are located next to the baggage claim at both the Main and South terminals. VIA is conveniently located only 9 miles from downtown and you will arrive after approximately 30 minutes of driving.
  • Distances and speed limits are measured in kilometers throughout Canada, so be careful and adjust your driving to suit. Vancouver has numerous flashing green traffic lights, which mean you have the right to drive through the intersection but must approach cautiously and yield to pedestrians who may be crossing. Many cyclists are present on Vancouver roads, so it’s important to keep an active eye on your blind spots. Keep in mind that across the city there are some roads with separated bike lanes and roads where lanes are shared; be mindful in both situations to provide cyclists with a safe amount of room.
  • Like most major cities, rush hour in Vancouver can be frustrating and it is wise to avoid major arterial roads or driving altogether between 5 pm and 7 pm. Traffic can be especially bad on West Georgia Street in the evening and it is advisable to seek an alternative route. Also keep in mind that the bridges of Vancouver, such as the Alex Fraser, can clog up with congestion during peak times and, due to their narrow entries and exits, take a long time to open up again.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Vancouver for $68 or less
  • Book your car hire in Vancouver at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport car hire locations in Vancouver are around 20% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Economy hire cars in Vancouver are around 61% cheaper than other car types, on average

TonyOct 2024
Book early, but don't pre-pay for your rental. Then check again as your rental date nears, and see if you can re-book at a cheaper rate. Re-booking saved us almost half the cost of the rental.
Verified travelerSept 2024
Double check you at resting from a reputable agency like Avis, Sixt or Enterprise. Avoid scammers like: Carwiz, Economy, West Coast Car Rentals and Rent-a-car-Vancouver.com — they are all the same company operating under different names and are scamming people!
JanAug 2024
Make sure to have a look at the currency when booking. Mine was in US$ on website but transferred to CAD$ when paying.
Verified travelerMar 2024
Parking spaces in Vancouver are small, especially in parking garages downtown. Weather and road conditions in mountains north of Vancouver can require special tires. Our rental from enterprise was prepared for wherever we wanted to drive it.
Verified travelerMay 2024
This rental company is not within walking distance from were cruise ships dock. We took a bus to get there. Not a lot of selection on premises. It’s best to book online
Verified travelerDec 2023
Driving in Vancouver is very busy. You need to make sure you have your route planned before you head out and always be in the lane you will need to as soon as possible! It's very hard to do last minute lane changes in Vancouver especially around high traffic times.
JamesJan 2024
In downtown areas, drive slowly, many streets are one ways, and a lot of bicycles and pedestrians. A lot of traffic lights, give yourself extra time.
NicoleFeb 2024
Use your google maps. And try to stay in the inside lanes as outside lanes are often used as parking spots as well.
Verified travelerFeb 2024
A lot of one way streets in Vancouver. If travelling further outside in BC be mindful of changing road conditions
Verified travelerDec 2023
It was good, but the listed address is not the correct address where they’re located.
Verified travelerSept 2023
Driving in Vancouver feels similar to most large cities. Street parking or garages are best. It’s easiest to find a garage in a central place and walk around. You could likely enjoy Vancouver without a car, we also went to Whistler where a vehicle was necessary.
Verified travelerSept 2023
Recommend using public transport in Vancouver but booking a car hire for travel in BC to minimise parking costs and the issues of driving in an unknown city.
Verified travelerOct 2023
No ,It was very good.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Be careful with left turns, use blinkers, pay attention to pedestrians and be smart.
BenSept 2023
Look up different driving rules, especially at crossroads. Cheapest fuel is outside Vancouver.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Look at all options and get the insurance on paper
QuirinoSept 2023
Hire it in downtown, not at the airport
Verified travelerOct 2023
Always book online for better rates.
MarilynneSept 2023
Traffic volumes can be daunting.
Verified travelerSept 2023
Call the rental place directly.
Verified travelerJuly 2023
Driving in downtown Vancouver can be a bit challenging with traffic but we were always able to find parking somewhere. The public parking is fairly inexpensive (compared to Montreal) and there were many electric car charging stations in the city if you chose to rent an electric vehicle.
DebJune 2023
Our routes were easy to find with the map on the dashboard! There was quite a bit of traffic in downtown Vancouver, and we had to go right through the centre of town to get to the airport.
Verified travelerJuly 2023
The roads are narrow compared to the roads in Ontario. However, it is more convenient to rent a car if you are planning to leave the metro Vancouver area such as Richmond, North Vancouver, Whistler, Seattle, etc.
GeorgeJune 2023
if you have multiple passengers, try find car pool lane to beat the traffic. people are nice and polite in downtown. so just ask them if you get lost.
Verified travelerJuly 2023
Be mindful of cyclists. This is a very cyclist heavy city. Always check your mirrors before opening your doors, do shoulder checks, etc.
Verified travelerJune 2023
Have patience with traffic, grab a coffee and a snack and just chill. Everyone is in a hurry, let them go.
AlanJune 2023
Sat Nav essential if you don't want a large data charges for using Google Maps
Verified travelerJuly 2023
Vancouver was easy. People drive with civility.
Verified travelerJune 2023
Drive under speed limit; Vancouver has a bustling pedestrian, bike, and e-everything on the roads, walkways, bike paths, etc. Similar to other older cities, roads are narrow and congested, so drive cautiously and know where you are going. Use a good GPS to find quickest routes around traffic.
Verified travelerJune 2023
Give LOTS of time for getting around due to traffic. Or really pay attention to peak traffic times. Or definitely park and ride the sky train (especially downtown). Keep your distance, because people like to tail others than have to break abruptly.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Not to go through a third party rental. To go directly to the rental agency
FrancieAug 2023
I didn’t drive in Vancouver. I drove on to Vancouver Island.
Verified travelerJune 2023
Driving eas ok in Vancouver and on the Island
Verified travelerJune 2023
Driving in Vancouver is difficult. Patience is required.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Shop around. Prices varied daily.
Verified travelerJuly 2023
Be patient! Lots of traffic and tourists make driving potentially dangerous if you aren’t familiar with the area.
Verified travelerJuly 2023
If you rent from Europcar do not get a flight out earlier than 10am.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Hope the rental office will answer their phone right away. Otherwise, good , friendly service, clean vehicle, reasonable price.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Use the car rental chain website, not a third party website the pops up first in the search results as *sponsored* or *advertisement* .
Verified travelerMay 2023
Check about the spare tire and the location of the arm brake.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Just make sure to check your car before you leave

I rented a minivan. I called the agency to check the car insurance prices that I didn't hire on the application and they told me that the agency didn't have a minivan and couldn't have one. So if I hadn't called for some other reason, I would have arrived and they would have made a mess of all my travel plans. Bad service from Hertz for offering it and from Kayak and QEEQ for trusting what Hertz offers. I cancelled the rental and had to pay more at another agency. All bad!

There was garbage in the glove box from a previous renter. I specifically booked an SUV to accommodate people, luggage, and a baby stroller that I'd be picking up from the airport, and was instead given a compact SUV. It wasn't big enough and the rental company told me I could have a Corolla instead, which was not a good joke. They said the compact SUV was a "similar category" as the one I booked, but it was clearly not what I booked or what I needed. Because of the size issue, I ended up picking up only some of the people from the airport, and had to send the rest on the train into town.

The service was lovely but there were two issues: I had to wait 45 minutes for the car to be ready. Not a big deal to me but may be to other customers. More significant: I paid for a mid-size SUV, such as a Toyota RAV4 or Mitsuibishi Outlander. The car that I was given was a Mitsuibuishi RVR, which is one class smaller and is considered a compact SUV. If this location only has RVRs, then it should be sold as a compact SUV, not as a mid-size SUV.

When client pick up the car, your stuff should confirm the gasoline tank level. In my case the mileage showed it is 299 km to empty. And it covered 300km before refill the gas.

Toyota Corolla is a really nice car to drive, it has added safety when it comes with radar to check blind spots on sides mirrors and slip lines (crossing lanes) warning. I like this feature so much! The car was so dirty when picking up, The Hertz franchise "Dollar", their staff at SW Marine drive did not well prepared the car to the next customer.

The staff seemed to be doing their best in a difficult situation handling a lot of customers. We had a reservation to pick up a car. There were other patient people waiting. It seemed chaotic, like there should have been numbers given to us to give us a clue. We waited for our turn. I paid an upgrade to drive a Volkswagen Jetta. They said a Toyota Corolla was in the same class and that’s what they had. I see now that I paid a lot for the “convenience” of picking the car up in town in addition to Kayak’s fee. That was my mistake.

Didn’t get the car I was supposed to get. I was supposed to get a small compact like a Chevrolet Spark or similar and instead got an SUV. I tried to reserve a small car because it would be better on gas. It also costed more and I suppose I got the dealers choice instead. Good clean car and newer model but did not get what I reserved.

We arrived to pick up our vehicle, only to find out that the rental office was closed, despite the sign on the door stating that they should still have been open, according to their hours. We had to wait until the nest day to pick up our car, despite having been charged for the first day. Drop-off was extremely unprofessional, and left us worried that we might have been caught in a scam. A handwritten note taped to the rental office window had a number that we had to call. A man came without any clear indicators that he actually worked for the company and asked me to show where I'd parked, at which point I handed over the keys and he left with the rental car. We never received a receipt or any confirmation that the car had been properly returned. It's been two days and I still have yet to hear from the company. I wouldn't recommend this rental company to anyone.

I had confirmation that a car would be available but when I arrived they didn’t have a car available and sent me to another location 20 minutes drive away which caused us to miss our ferry reservation. This could have been avoided if they’d rung me in advance and not to be told when I turned up!

Terrible experience! This agency is running a scam. The address listed on Kayak was wrong, and they blamed Kayak for not updating it. They sent me to another location, where they claimed they had no cars available, even though they were still advertising them online. They refused to offer a free upgrade, which they should have provided. I wasted 3 hours, and my daughter missed an important event. To make matters worse, they're listed under three different company names with fake addresses. Avoid this agency at all costs!

The car I was given was extremely loud, making me feel very unsafe driving it. Probably a first generation hybrid, hence the noise, but I question if fit to drive at all. I also asked for a receipt upon returning the car. It was denied saying the company does not allow that. It makes no sense. How can one prove they returned the car if they can't have a receipt ? First time I hear this. The two different clerks were pleasant otherwise.

My flight back to hometown was at 7am, but Europcar opens at 8am. They did not have a shuttle service to get us back to the airport. We had to get two taxis since it was 5 of us with 5 luggage. This was around 120$ extra.

The customer service is not great. I asked to add the insurance a couple of time and they never got it done. I called to change the car since we didn't order a basic mini suv, but I needed to go to Richmond to make the change. The car was very dirty and damaged and the tires were not great. The value was good but I'm now dealing with the customer service again for the return. They asked me to pay for the damages when a claim was sent to my insurance company since they couldn't do it properly with their insurance the first time around.

Pros:

I prepaid online and reserved my car to pick up at 8. Arrived at 8 to find no one there, had to call and ask for someone to help me out. I reserved the car at a specific time for a reason, and I wasn’t getting out of there with the car until after 9. A bit ridiculous in my eyes, Such a lack of care to their costumers. Oh wait there’s more. I bought insurance prior on kayak, but not straight from rent-a-car. Resulting in them withholding a massive fee on my credit card and saying I owe them nearly a grand to replace a windshield because of a tiny chip in the windshield due to driving on the highway. I’ve rented cars before and have never dealt with this kind of thing. No windshield replacement should be that much, and the chip is so minor it could easily be filled for very cheap. But instead rent a car is money grabbing and taking advantage of me. In the process of trying to figure out my claim with the third party insurance, which of course has not been easy. All in all I’m extremely upset by my experience and would recommend you go else where to rent a car.

Cons:

Don’t rent from here!
