“Long pickup, short drop-off, car was upgraded to a sport-trim SUV”
About Hertz:8.3/10
We were upgraded to a 2018 Dodge Durango R/T because we were dropping the car off in Montreal and it had a Quebec license plate. The car was absolutely above and beyond all expectations, and was arguably the perfect car for the trip. The only thing is that because we were only given it due to its Quebec license plate, we kinda felt like we ought to be paid for driving the car all the way back...
There was a bit of a line (about 5 parties in front of us) at the pickup counter in Edmonton Airport. The wait was extremely long, but the clerk was very friendly, got us the upgrade, and even gave me a bottle of water for free because the nearby vending machines only took cash and I didn't have any on hand. Overall, while the wait was long in Edmonton, it was quite well worth it.
Dropping the car off in Montreal YUL was a bit of a challenge, because while there were signs leading to the rental lots, the turn-off was extremely sudden and also was also forked with a road with a do not enter sign. Because I saw the do not enter sign first, we missed the turn and had to drive through the entire airport parking lot and come back around from the front to go again. Once we got there though, drop-off was extremely fast--to the point where the staff there were even hurrying us up a little. I can't be too harsh on the drop-off's accessibility, though--driving in Montreal made me realize the city's road infrastructure in general has more pressing matters to worry about.
About QEEQ:8.0/10
We had very little contact with EasyRentCars at all, because they handled everything without needing any more information from us. They cleared us for driving the car through the US (we opted to go under the Great Lakes rather than over), and it pretty much felt like they weren't even there--which I think is a good thing in our case, because it meant everything went smoothly.
Overall service was good, but they downgraded my car for no reason. I booked a Dodge Durango but got a Dodge Caravan instead, which has less power and luggage space.
We refueled before returning the car, but the gas station was 4 kilometers away from the return point. By the time we got there, the fuel gauge was just a bit short of full. The staff insisted on charging us 26 CAD or asked us to refuel again. Very dissatisfied, this never happened in Europe.
