Car rental at the Calgary International Airport

Information about Calgary airport- YYC

Calgary airport is one of the biggest airports in the region of Alberta. 

It is located in the middle of Alberta and serves a huge amount of passengers visiting Canada each year. 

Exploring Alberta with your rental car

We recommend that you book your rental car from home in the price comparison. Plus, the question "When to book?" is always answered, "the sooner the better!" By comparing prices at an early stage, you will find the offer that suits you best and you will be able to find very cheap rental cars.

Hire a car at the Calgary airport

The most practical option is to rent a car directly at the airport. A big advantage of airport car rental companies is that they have more customer-friendly opening hours. In addition, the car rental stations at the airport usually have ample parking spaces, so that they have a large fleet. If you enter your flight number when booking, the car rental company can withhold your rental car for you in case of delayed arrival due to the flight.

Alberta is well-known for its stunning national parks and nature. The most famous is the Banff National Park which can be reached in about one hour from Calgary airport.

Less frequented but well-maintained roads and polite road users encourage people to travel further through the Canadian wilderness. Nevertheless, there are frequent police checks throughout the country. In addition, some regulations differ in the individual provinces.

• International driver's license recommended.
• Overtaking on both sides of the motorway allowed.
• Do not overtake school buses and stop at stop signs.

Calgary car rental - the insurance for the rental car

With every vacation, the costs should be able to be planned safely. With a rental car, this is done by choosing the comprehensive insurance without excess. Only this policy settles the damage completely in the event of an accident, while a policy with a deductible contributes to the costs. To avoid unexpected additional costs, experts recommend the fully comprehensive policy without excess when renting a vehicle.
