    Like: They didn’t have any Kia Rio’s available when I picked up, so was upgraded to an SUV which I was very happy about! The Jeep was in excellent condition with low mileage. Quick and friendly service. I ended up needing an extra day plus had to add another driver for that day, and this was done with no problem at all. No issues on returning the vehicle at all, as in they didn’t try to rip you off. I will definitely rent from them again next time I’m in Calgary.
    Dislike: We had trouble finding the address. Probably because we were not paying as much attention as we should have! We put the unit # in Google maps instead of the correct address. Also I was looking for Easy Rent Cars which now I’m assuming is a 3rd party Next time I’ll know.

    Our car was broken in by breaking of a rear passenger window. Routes replacement and repair charge was ridiculous. Over $200 from estimates Plus they charged an administration fee of$50 apparently to fill out paperwork. Our insurance would not pay for the down time days or admin fees. Their “extra” insurance offered had a $1000 deductible. So nothing was covered. The extra fees after already being stolen from by the break in left a very bad feeling.

It looked uncool • we saw one Jeep that had a huge crack line from bottom to the top on the windshield (someone else was driving) • shuttle bus was missing door parts so he had to open from inside • car had many scratches and dent.

    They upsell insurance when picking up the car and commit fraud when returning it. If you rent from them, insist they clean the windshield and then check it carefully with a flashlight! When I returned the car, I had to pay CAD75 for a tiny chip on the windshield that was just a bit larger than a pinhead! If you don't have the patience to inspect, it's better to buy their windshield insurance. Additionally, they target Chinese people! At the same time I returned the car, a foreign customer just handed over the keys and left. When I returned the car, a black man inspected the windshield for 3 minutes and found a tiny chip, forcing me to pay CAD75!

The other party admitted full responsibility, and I recorded everything, including the other driver's license, insurance details, and contact information. When returning the car, I mentioned this and asked if they needed this information. The rental company said I should claim on the spot. How was I supposed to know the repair cost?

    The rental company is quite small with limited staff, so the wait time is relatively long.

    Good attitude, but the wait for the shuttle bus was a bit long.

    The location is close to our hotel, and the car is very new.

    Nothing particularly good or bad. The service felt robotic. If you have a choice, don't pick this company. They wouldn't accept my Chinese driver's license, claiming it was a Canadian legal issue. Despite my arguments, they refused to give me a car and sent me back to the airport. I easily rented a car from AVIS at the airport. Does AVIS not follow Canadian laws?

    Couldn't rent the desired car, but the service was decent. Not sure when the $500 deposit will be refunded.
