Vancouver - Victoria

Short queue time, very friendly staff at the counter, no hard sell on insurance.

Had to wait in line for a long time and then waited another hour after completing the paperwork to get the car, supposedly because they were washing it. We originally rented a Highlander but were given a front-wheel-drive GMC instead. The power was weak and the car was heavy. The Rockies require snow tires from October 1st, and we rented the car on the 28th without any warning from the rental company. As a result, we got stuck in Banff for a long time due to heavy snow and slipping while going uphill.

The store didn't provide the car I reserved and gave me a Volkswagen instead. The mileage was high and the noise was loud.

Good and satisfactory

The experience was terrible. There were constant upselling attempts during the rental process. They refused to give me a car unless I bought additional insurance. Eventually, they only gave me a Camry, the worst option in its class. They also didn't have the models they initially promised. The return process was extremely inefficient, and I still haven't received a return receipt or confirmation email. The accident handling was very slow. After an incident, I had to switch cars in Vancouver, but they said it was a U.S. car and refused to accept it upon return.
