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.

Check-in was perfunctory, no welcome, substitute car. Car does not have navigation activated - unacceptable in a new car. Car not particularly clean. 10d into car hire screen says Maintenance required, take car to Dealer. Avis app (I’m a Preferred member) - no way to email them and ask why? Unfortunately I don’t have telephone connection to ask. Had to ask maintenance question via QEEQ (booking agent). On plus side, the Toyota has run without any issues other than the screen message. Would I use Avis again - it depends.Reviewed 3 Aug 2024

  • 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.
