Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Nanaimo Harbour Water Aerodrome Airport (ZNA)?
Budget is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental outlet. Lock in your vehicle as soon as you can to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Nanaimo car reservation?
We know that having the freedom to change your plans is important. That's why most prepaid bookings provide a full refund if you let us know at least six hours before pickup. It's a good idea to check the rental policy though as there are some exclusions. If the info isn't there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Nanaimo?

They're a snap to park and handle, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're cruising around big cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more comfort and room at a price that's still affordable.
