How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Calgary?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Downtown Calgary. Be mindful that home suppliers will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Browse the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any surprises at the home counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Calgary?
Most home companies will need these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Downtown Calgary?
Just like the States, you’ll need to drive on the right in Canada. But that doesn’t mean the road rules are the same as at home. Familiarize yourself with the local traffic laws before you get behind the wheel in Downtown Calgary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Downtown Calgary?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a set of wheels to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Downtown Calgary car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Downtown Calgary providers will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
