Cheap Car Hire at Banff Train Station

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Before your trip, check online for available vehicles to ensure you find your ideal car.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Before heading to the station, make sure to check the rental company's opening hours to avoid arriving when they are closed.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

If you don’t find the right car hire at Banff Train Station, there may be more options in Banff city, which can sometimes be more affordable. However, remember to factor in the additional cost of transportation from the airport to the city, which could offset any savings.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.
