Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Alberta car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has information about cancellations. In most situations, full refunds are provided if a prepaid reservation is cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to the pickup time. Be sure to read your policy to double-check if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Alberta?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the preferred choice in Alberta. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're driving around cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort at a price that's still affordable.
Where can I go on a road trip from Alberta?
Alberta has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the surrounding area. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • Richmond is 88 kilometres from Alberta. Top-rated sights like Richmond Raceway deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Roanoke, which is around 193 kilometres away. Centre in the Square is one local highlight you won't want to miss.
  • Get into the great outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Great Falls Park. You'll find it approximately 241 kilometres from Alberta.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alberta?
You need to be 21 and over to sit in the driver's seat of a rental car in Alberta. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Many companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Alberta?
Before you can hit the road in Alberta, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alberta?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a set of wheels that's all yours for however long you want.
Where can I find an Alberta car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Alberta providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
