Accepted Answer

If you damage a hire car, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) generally covers the cost of repairs. To avoid out-of-pocket expenses, ensure your insurance policy includes zero excess.

Question 7

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 8

Why do I need a credit card to hire a car at Edmonton International Airport?

Accepted Answer

A credit card is typically required to secure the hire and cover any additional charges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel, that may occur during the hire period. The card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure that the renter is financially responsible for the vehicle. In some locations, debit cards may be accepted, but they often require additional documentation or a credit check.
