What types of cars can I rent in Alberta?
Keep things low-cost with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact vehicle — the most commonly booked rental type in Alberta. They're easy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're visiting cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort at a price that won't break the bank.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alberta?
Alberta requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Alberta?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alberta?
Yes. We partner with reputable providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of Alberta — or way beyond!
Where can I find an Alberta car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Alberta. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
