Top tips for renting a car from Avis in Calgary
One of the best reasons to book Avis car rentals in Calgary is because this company offers such a wide selection of vehicle types. Because of this, all sorts of different travellers will love using this rental company when they visit Calgary. Travellers on a budget can easily choose one of the many economy models available, whereas larger groups, such as business groups travelling to the city together, might choose something like an SUV or a minivan.
Once you've made the choice to book Avis car rentals in Calgary and you begin your driving adventures here, you will soon realize how easy it is to get around town. One of the reasons for this is that two major Canadian highways, Highways One and Two, intersect right in the heart of the city and then join up with Highway 21 which serves as a beltway around the entire outskirts of the city. This makes it quite easy to get to destinations in Calgary quickly.
Something drivers should know about before the book Avis car rentals in Calgary is that driving here during the winter time can be somewhat difficult. The city of Calgary does a great job of maintaining roads during difficult driving conditions, but because Avis does not rent tire chains for their vehicles, your driving during the winter can still be difficult. One of the best options to mitigate any of these problems is to choose a four-wheel-drive vehicle when you rent from Avis in Calgary.

Terrible. Rude staff. Didn't want to help me or my wife. Left my wife in tears out the front with zero regard. We went to pick up our car, we had already made the booking in advance because we wanted to be organised. We had tours already paid for that we needed to be at. Arrived at downtown calgary avis on 10th ave and thats where the trouble started. Natalia was who we spoke with, Wouldn't use our international debit card even though it says in the terms and conditions that they do accept international debit cards? She offered zero help as to what we could do to get us on our way, zero compassion or concern for us sitting out the front with all of our bags while my wife was crying. The only input she had was "this isnt worth me losing my job" Went to another avis and received the best service and used our international debit card with no problems. The downtown calgary avis needs to have a serious talk with current staff about customer service. Due to natalia's lack of care and willingness to help, we lost money for a tour that we had already paid for. Lost money having to go elsewhere and hire another car. And caused a massive amount of stress and anxiety that we didn't need on our honeymoonReviewed 14 May 2025

Great staff. Passenger van rented in Calgary during snow storm. No winter tires, stuck a few times, had to avoid any hills. Driver's windshield wiper didn't touch windshield making visibility an issue.Reviewed 6 Dec 2024

Convenient location right by the terminal, not the cheapest option but reasonable but the bonus is open much later for pickup/return if you're flying in late. Everything was a breeze, no issues at all.Reviewed 2 Dec 2024

I rented a car one-way from Calgary airport with a drop off in Banff. I rented the car at about noon and return the car in Banff approx. 7:00pm. I told them I’d be arriving to Banff after they closed at 6:00pm and I was told to put the keys on the drop box. It took me forever to find the parking and when I did find it. I followed the Avis return signs. Once I made about 2 turns down the parking garage, I came to a sign that said the Avis rental car return was closed and to go back up a level. I did this, I found a place to park and went upstairs and dropped the keys in the drop box. I had the car approx. 7 hours total. Today, 4 days later, I got a call from Avis asking if I still had the rental car that was supposed to be returned on the 12th. I told him all of this and I still have not heard back, I still have a huge charge on my credit card and no receipt. Absolute WORST experience!!!Reviewed 16 Sep 2024

I have heard about the AVIS , the best , but i am really sorry to say if you do not have stock of cars why you take advance booking . I was standing 2 hour for getting the key how ever i requested many time but they newer had listen . I have very bad experience with AVIS , I am a business man twice a month i come from vancouver first time i took your company. but very very bad experience , you should hire the soft spoken and care taken employ for public dealing . regards.
