The car was clean and drove well. I didn’t like that they tried to up sell me on getting a car with winter tires for an extra $25 a day. This is Calgary the cars should automatically have winter tires to ensure the safety and integrity of the vehicle.

They vehicle was nice specially since it was going to snow. I drive a small car older car overall it was great just a couple of issue just because of me being new in a new car and the snow.

I wasn't told in the beginning how the car works. I didn't know about the push start or that the emergency break is on automatically after you out the gear in park or where the emergency break was. Also, they told me it was going to snow but there was no snow brush so when it did snow I had to use my sleeve and my hand to try and get rid of a lot of snow.

We waited in line at the Calgary airport for almost 2 hours. None of the other companies had a line. The price was better than the other companies, but I would have gladly paid more rather than stand in line for 2 hours.

Being open late was very helpful since most other rental companies onsite closed before the last flights of the night landed. Usually at this time you’d expect staff to be less accommodating or impatient, but the Avis staff working the night we landed were extremely friendly and happy to help us, even though it was nearly 1am.

Planned drop off in Lake Louise Sat at 6:30pm. I arrived there at 5pm. The office was closed the entire weekend. No drop box, no information about how to return the vehicle. A phone number that was listed there for "immediate assistance" took me to the central Hertz automated line. After many attempts I ended up finally being connected to a person, who was located in the US. They told me I would need to return the car to the next closest open location - it was in Edmonton! A 5hr drive away! After an hour on the phone and multiple holds I was asked to leave the keys in the vehicle. Why is there no better drop off system, especially when the location hours are 8-3pm M-F?

Your website showed a 7 passenger 5 full luggage vehicle, an expedition was pictured, when I went to pick it up I was told a full size suv was a Durango or equivalent which doesn’t have trunk space for any luggage once the 3rd row is up. Your website misrepresented the vehicle type and didn’t match the hertz vehicle class - we didn’t have enough space for our party and luggage to fit in the vehicle.

No option to buy only liability insurance. Can be cheaper if there is an option to buy only liability insurance and use your own or credit card’s insurance for rental car. Bit expensive.

Pick up was terrible. Was third in line and still waited over 30 minutes to get served. Never seen such a slow process. The line grew to about 20 people because the throughout for each customer was insanely slow. No reason for it. Car itself was ok. Bizarre car though. We requested an SUV for my family (two small kids) and we got this military style jeep. Not exactly what I expected when requesting a family style SUV. Drop off process was fine.

Car was new and clean and drove well. Staff at the office was nice and friendly. Price was fair. They did not hassle me about getting insurance.

Called the office to have the shuttle come pick me up at the airport. It took 40 minutes for them to arrive. Then their garage is another 15-20 minutes from the airport. If you are flying in and out of the airport and time and convenience is important to you, rent from someone at the airport.

Clean.

I was upgraded to a van at no extra charge, but it was too big of a vehicle for me, and consumed lots more gas than the car I asked for would have. I was told at time of pick up that there would be a shuttle to the airport for me, but when I arrived to return the van, they were closed and I had to pay for a cab.

Could have got a car like I thought we were getting not a gas guzzler truck. Truck could have been clean windshield was filthy on inside had to stop to clean. They should change mystery car to mystery vehicle although should just be mystery truck as the worker told us that it’s always a truck never a car you get and counter person needs to speak a little more clearly hard to understand
