The worst rental car experience I have ever had…read more We were scheduled to pick up two standard SUVs at 6pm after we arrived from our flight. Our flight was slightly delayed and so we did not end up making it over to the rental car counter until about 7pm. Once we made it to the counter, the lady estimated that it would be a twenty minute wait. We waited about 40 minutes and then went up and spoke to her because we started to talk to the people around us who were saying they had also been waiting over an hour on a car. When we talked to the lady at the desk she told us that someone had to go over to the other location to pick up our cars and that they were on the way. Another twenty minutes go by and we wait. We ask her again and she then says that she is unsure if we will be able to get our size of car that we reserved. She asks if we can accept another car. Unfortunately, even with the standard SUVs, it will be a tight squeeze, so we cannot switch. Also, she told us previously that the car was on the way? So this must have been a lie. In addition to the initial lie she told us that it would be 20 minutes until our car arrived (since everyone around us waited at least an hour and a half). Another 25 minutes go by. By this point, everyone in our group is cursing Enterprise's name and saying we will never rent from them again. We ask to talk to a manager. And magic! Somehow, five minutes later, when we go back to the back, the manager has gotten our cars ready and is waving our keys because he knows that he was about to deal with some very angry customers. I would also like to note that when we went to the back, there was a big tray of sushi and about 5 people sitting around, not working. Very confusing because the manager, when explaining why things took so long, told us that they were low staffed. But it just looks like the staff were too busy eating sushi to do their jobs, and the manager was fine with us waiting an hour and a half while he had plenty of staff sitting around. Avoid this location at all costs.

Affordability: 5 Location: 5…read moreReservations: 5 Customer Service: 3 We rented a vehicle from enterprise during our vacation to Calgary last week. They're conveniently located at the international Airport, which was great for customers traveling with luggage. The staff that assisted us with the vehicle were very professional, but we were a little surprised that our vehicle had some damage upon our pickup. So of course we took photos and videos, so we won't have any issues upon us returning the vehicle in a few days. I've rented cars on multiple occasions during our travels, and this was the first time in the last 10yrs that I never received a receipt after I returned the vehicle. It's now been 10 days since we returned the vehicle on June 1st, and we are still waiting for our receipt to be emailed to us. Our overall experience was good, and we were eventually charged correctly based on our reservations. I'm not sure if this enterprise location is just super busy or if they're under staffed, but we've definitely had better customer service with other companies.

I found this car rental place off of Expedia when I was planning my trip to Alberta, CA. Overall my…read morecar rental experience was outstanding. I got a nice subcompact SUV (2024 Nissan Kicks) that had good fuel efficiency on the highway for roughly less than $35 USD/day. I have almost no complaints except for the fact that getting to this facility requires extra effort. For US travelers, gates 15-16 are typically where you'd arrive from in Calgary airport however the gate to board the bus to Routes is at Gate 7 which is a very long walk. When you arrive at Gate 7 wait for the bus to arrive to board where it's another 10-minute drive to the facility to pick up your car. The entire process from boarding the bus to car retrieval was about 45-50 minutes. You'll need to allow extra time when returning your car as well. The other thing they don't tell you is where to drop the car off when returning. And even those instructions were mixed based on who I was talking to. I was told to return the car to the back of the building while some customers were able to drop off in the front. It was a bit disorganized but aside from that, it was decent service at good value.

I would not recommend renting from this company…read more They charged me for leaving the province, even though I told them in advance that I would be crossing the provincial border. If that was going to result in an extra fee, it should have been clearly explained before I rented the vehicle. The airport shuttle was another major issue. It took so long that I almost missed my flight. If you're relying on their shuttle, leave yourself much more time than you think you'll need. After this experience, I would rather pay the extra money to rent from a larger company like Enterprise or Hertz. It may cost more upfront, but in my experience it's worth it for the better service, clearer policies, and peace of mind. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, and I won't be renting from this company again.

This was our second time renting with Alamo--our first was at the Las Vegas airport, where we had…read moresuch a great experience that we wanted to try them again. I'll admit, after reading some of the reviews, I felt a little nervous, but I decided to give them a chance anyway. They are pricier than some other rental companies, but I'd rather pay a little more for peace of mind than deal with companies that have worse reviews. And wow, I'm so glad I did! When we got to the counter, there was no line at all. The agent checked us in quickly, and within minutes we were on our way. The whole process took less than 15 minutes. Returning the car was just as smooth. Even though a lot of people were dropping off their cars at the same time, there were plenty of staff available. One quick check and we were good to go--it couldn't have been easier. I really appreciate how efficient and well-staffed they are. Overall, another excellent experience with Alamo!

A huge thank you to Thelma for making our rental car experience so easy and stress-free. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly welcoming, professional, and efficient. She helped us prepare everything we needed for our rental, answered all of our questions with patience, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. And I hope she still remembers us! The entire process was surprisingly fast, and that's all thanks to Thelma's knowledge, organization, and excellent customer service. She made us feel valued as customers, and her positive attitude really stood out. It's not often that you come across someone who genuinely enjoys helping people, and it definitely showed in the way she handled everything. I also want Hertz management to know what an amazing employee they have. Thelma is the kind of team member who creates a great first impression and makes customers want to come back. Employees like her deserve to be recognized because they represent the company with professionalism, kindness, and dedication. Thank you again, Thelma, for all of your help. We truly appreciate everything you did for us, and we hope Hertz recognizes the outstanding work you do every day. Keep up the amazing work you made our experience exceptional!

Unfortunately, the way the rental agreement was handled completely overshadowed the positives. When I picked up the car, Amellie told me that "everything was paid for already" and simply asked me to sign. There was no explanation that additional insurance and roadside assistance had been added to my rental, and I was never asked whether I wanted those optional services. After returning the car, I was shocked to see an additional charge of over $320 for insurance and roadside assistance that I neither requested nor knowingly agreed to purchase. Whether this was intentional or not, it felt like a very deceptive and shady sales practice. Optional charges should be clearly explained and require the customer's explicit consent--not be slipped into a contract while being told everything is already paid for. The car and the rental process were fine, but I can't recommend Budget after this experience. Double-check every line of your rental agreement before signing, no matter what you're told.

Jobo met us at our hotel at 8 o'clock sharp and from there we spent the entire day seeing the wonders of the nearby mountains. We saw more in one day than I could have managed in three days, all without being rushed at all. It pays to have someone who is intimately familiar with the area as your guide. Although the information on the signage was more than sufficient, Jobo provided additional color regarding each of the stops. Jobo was very friendly, courteous, and it was an absolute pleasure to be in his company. The vehicle was very clean, stocked with ample water, and very well-maintained. I highly recommend ABest Transport and Tour Services Inc, and their "rider driven" philosophy, which Jobo exemplified. The next time that we are on holiday in Calgary, we know who we will contact for a tour.
