Cheap Dollar Car Hire in Calgary

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 Dollar. 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 your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Calgary, we have car hire deals from 20 suppliers. Among them, Dollar has a rating of 4.6, Routes has a rating of 4.7, Alamo has a rating of 4.6 and National has a rating of 4.6.

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.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.
