Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Portland Intl. Airport (PDX)?
You can, and there's plenty of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, just walk to the rental car centre on Level 2.54 cm the short-term parking lot. Here you can get your transport sorted with well-known companies like Budget, Hertz and Thrifty. If you're after more options, see what's on offer with National and Alamo.
What happens if I need to cancel my Downtown Vancouver car reservation?
No need to stress. You should get all of your money back if you cancel at least six hours before the arranged pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings qualify for a refund though, so you may want to read through your car's rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Downtown Vancouver?
Economy, premium, full-size ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Downtown Vancouver. If you want something economical and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is a wise choice. Driving around traffic-filled streets will be easy in one of these. Compact vehicles offer a bit more room than economy models and are suited to couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Vancouver?
Rental car rules in Downtown Vancouver require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply.

Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Vancouver?
In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so it's always wise to check before you book.
