Cheap Routes Car Hire in Calgary

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

Before hiring a car in Calgary, carefully review the rental conditions from suppliers like Routes. Pay attention to details on payment card requirements, deposits, cross-border travel policies, and driving licence requirements to avoid any surprises.

When hiring a car in Calgary, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Routes. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

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.

When hiring a car in Calgary, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Routes charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs
