Pros: Had a nice full-sized car, clean and well-equipped. Had a problem with the "check engine" light coming on while in a remote away from Calgary, but a nearby Enterprise office sent us to a local repair shop that quickly diagnosed the problem (as not being a problem needing to be fixed) for no charge to us, and we were able to continue our trip with confidence in the car.

Pros: staff were great.
I was half an hour late getting back but they waved it.
Also had a bit of dog hair and blades of grass in the car. I told them about it and said I would pay for the cleaning. they waved that also saying it was minor.
loved the car, Rode easily and hardly used any gas. thank-you! Lois

Smooth experience all around
Pros: When I got a call at the Calgary airport that someone had damaged the SUV set aside for us, Enterprise was ready with options and patient as I discussed those options with my family while on the phone. The 4x4 truck was perfect for our needs and the upgrade was the same price as my original booking. The staff was courteous, friendly, and informative and I shall rent from again when I return.
Cons: Nothing to report.

Great experience
Pros: My car recently quit so I was looking into rentals for the next while, as I only need to travel for work a few days a month. Theses are the reasons I chose to go with enterprise:
-No charge prior to picking up my rental, if things change, thats ok
-Able to return the car a day earlier than I booked it for
-excellent staff, the girls working offered me a ride home, as it was -26 and I was walking. I arrived only 10 minutes before closing and they insisted they didn't mind.
-signed me up for enterprise plus
-unlimited kilometres with rentals
Cons: That I've booked with other companies like Budget before when I could've been renting with Enterprise!
4.0 Okay
17 Oct 2015
Cons: They asked me if I wanted a bigger and nicer car for a few extra dollars a day and I said no because I don't like to drive big cars and I don't know anything about cars so I really don't care. I saw later on the receipt that they did give me the bigger car and charged me for it. And the car smelt like spoiled milk for the entire 2 days. Grosse.

Kayak provided wrong location for pickup and drop

Cons: Pick up and drop off weren't at airport, which is what I searched for. There were fees attached, removed, discounted, applied. The whole thing was shady and never resembled the quote I reserved the car for.

Misleading location. Will never book this way again!
Cons: I selected the Calgary Airport as the rental pick up / drop off location. The vehicle offered indicated an addresses which I assumed was the Calgary airport as I have not been to this city before. There was no mention that the rental location was off site. When I arrived at the car rental counter at the airport, they politely informed me the vehicle was booked for was a location in the city ($45 taxi ride to get there.) Completely misleading reservation!! I paid an extra $100 to the Hertz desk at the airport in order to pick up and drop off on site instead of having to get to the downtown location just to pick up the vehicle.

Supply chain problems
Pros: They provided an upgrade when the car we booked was not available
Cons: They had no cars available whatsoever, their planning to have all the cars that are reserved is very poor. This was not limited to the day I was there, when returning the car they had the same problems. The facility is small and crowded, no place to sit, it's a mobile shack in the middle of a parking lot.

Poor downtown service
Pros: The car ran and was fairly clean. It was equipped with winter tires which are not appropriate for mid July usage and were loud.
Cons: Pick up service was terrible-upon entering the non airport location, we waited for twenty minutes while the middle aged attendant, Rezaul, argued over his personal cell phone and did not even acknowledge us. We were waiting and the actual business phone was ringing and he ignored both. He then pushed the sale of insurance aggressively and with an attititude. Our actual rental was not available, so we were, "upgraded" to a larger vehicle with worse fuel economy. I would avoid the 1616 14th AVE NW Avis in Calgary if at all possible.

The car was beat up
Pros: Tires were relatively new.
Cons: I have taken a vacation with my family and we have chosen to rent a good vehicle since we were going to drive a lot. We chose the GMC Yukon XL premium which is a full size SUV fully loaded.
The car was very very dirty in and out and it was beat up. The windshield had many cracks and the paint was scratched/damage all around the car.
It did not feel right. Specially because we were paying for a luxury ride.
Before driving away with the car, I complained that the car was dirty. Their response was " That is the only one we have available".

26 Jun 2017
Pros: I liked that we were able to drop our car off at the airport without an extra charge.
Cons: 1) Coffee cup was left in the glove box. Still had liquid left in it that spilled on my pants when I trashed it.
2) Cost for insurance was way too expensive! Ended up being something like $50+ a day compared to $10 at Enterprise.
3) No one did an inspection at the beginning to make note of different marks/scratches.

Easy pick up and drop off great quality cars
Pros: The pickup and drop off at the airport with simple and quick less than 5 minutes each time. Also the rental office is inside the airport so there's no shuttle that takes you to the car lot, they are right there in the terminal! We also had a brand new car that had only 200 kilometers on the odometer. Leather seats and all the options were included in our rental was super cheap, great pricing for the quality. Overall I would rent from this office again they were fantastic and the customer service was great. Only piece of advice was to either bring your own GPS then download Canada maps, or make sure your phone is usable in Canada. The GPS rental is more expensive than the car rental per day so we opted not to do it but driving around Alberta is easy

Pros: Standard car...
Cons: Arrived at midnight - first car offered was dirty, inside and out.
Replacement car offered but process took half hour.
Budget reluctant to offer like-for-like replacement despite having many cars available (as confirmed by agent's colleague). Car also poorly cleaned and 30,000 k, but not worth the long walk back.
What's with extra charge for snow tyres at 15 dollars per day? Are we renting out unsafe cars?
Snow brush broken and useless for scraping off ice. Used credit card instead.

Sketchy rental experience
Pros: Front desk attendants were professional.
Cons: Car had multiple scratches and dents, including two small cracks in the windshield that were not noted. Had to return twice to have them documented. Large scratch not noted on form, but had a "sticker" near it on the car to show that they were aware of it. Nice, and when the sticker comes off, then what? Finally, there were no gas stations within 15 minutes of the airport, and all were closed at 6:00am. Not unlikely, but unusual. It would make a significant difference in loyalty to the brand if they were to share minor details like this when renting. Otherwise, you'll end up returning a half full tank so you can catch your flight.

Cons: I arrived at the Alamo desk at Calgary airport to find it closed. There was no indication of a number to call. I called the general 800 number and had to wait a long time for a reply, only to be told to come back the next morning. I had to spend the night in an airport hotel and pick up the car hours after my arrival. I find this to be absolutely disgraceful service, especially as I arrived on a full flight from Toronto, not some special charter from the wilderness.

Convenient and a good deal
Pros: The car was clean, and ready to go. The staff were courteous and helpful. I love Toyota and was pleased to have one - it felt like home!
Cons: Just that the pick up location WAS at the airport, but the website had said it was off site with a shuttle - it was more convenient this way - but it would have been good to update your website. The other thing was that one key was bent, and I couldn't get it out of the ignition - but I couldn't get the other key off the ring to use it to lock the car (may have been my ignorance about how to work the ring but it appeared to be locked closed). If you're giving out two keys, they need to be detachable for a case like that.

Pros: Dollar is the worst car rental company I've ever encountered. I show up my flight was delayed show up at 11 pm Christmas Eve and nobody was at the desk. Called the number and was watching the phone ring I front of us with our number. Had to go buy another rental car from another company bc I had an hour and a half drive. I bring back the other rental car for my original reservation and when I get to the Front desk the lady tells me that my reservation has been given away. Let me remind you that I drove all the way back to Calgary on Christmas and they could not accommodate me one bit. In fact it was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a car rental company. Do not use dollar because they are very unfriendly as well as they would not allow me to speak to the manager.

Decent off airport rental
Pros: Price, the mostly stock Jeep Wranglers, so you may be lucky to get a very cheap upgrade.
Cons: It was a 10 - 15 ride from the airport. Their hours are 8 - 8 so make sure you have accurate hours on your reservation, They use shuttle bay number 6 near door number 2 at the Calgary airport. It takes a few mins for them to get there, and it also takes quite a while if you drop off the car at 8am to get a ride back to the airport. Other than that, we had an awesome experience!

Good service
Pros: Good value and the 3 staff members I dealt with were professional and very nice and friendly.
The off-site location is easy to find and access so it's nice to have shuttle pick up/ drop off at door and not have to drag my own baggage from terminal to car rental location at airport. (I didn't need to use their shuttle service after arrival as I rented car second day onto trip, only for return).
First time renting from this company and have rebooked for next trip. Had found a great rate online with another rental company prior and they were able to beat that rate.
Will see how well shuttle service works. Be sure to have their phone number handy when you arrive.
Cons: The pick up and drop off location are not at airport however they do provide shuttle service. Had I not shown up with excessive time to get to airport I could have been late. Ended up sharing shuttle with a couple with a lot of baggage (they were moving) and there was barely enough room for all of us in shuttle van.

Cons: We scheduled our pickup time for 9pm. We were within an hour of that time and learned that we needed to take a shuttle because the pickup was not at the airport. However, the rental place was completely closed and there was no way to get there or to get a car. We had to rent from someone else and paid significantly more. The next day I called Ace and they did issue a refund and charged nothing. It was a stressful way to start our honeymoon.

Lacks Early Flight Accomodations!!
Pros: SUV was comfortable and could accommodate 3 adults with luggage. Check in crew Sat Sept 3, 2016 was awesome and went out of their way to help us find our way and gave us great directions, really wonderful service
Cons: SUV windshield was filthy and cleaned it ourselves so we could see clearly.
Although we made a call 1 week prior to state that we will need a GPS as we were coming from the US, no GPS was available when we checked in
No accomodations for early flights, no staff and not open for a 6am drop off. Our only option was to find our own way to the airport, not only did we pay for the rental we then had to pay for a cab to the airport....not happy, we will not rent from Ace again!

Pros: Ace stayed open late for us as we waited to receive our luggage. They didn't give us any grief and were very patient even though they had to stay open about and hour after they were supposed to close. The rest of the rental process was smooth.
Cons: The rental car location is a bit out of the way from the airport and somewhat difficult to find.

Unsafe vehicle, thrifty refused to help
Pros: Terrible vehicle that wouldn't drive with even a light dusting of snow. We had to abandon the vehicle for almost our entire trip and Thrifty refused to help or give us a car with proper tires for the city and season we were visiting. Charging extra in order to trade in for a safe car that we could actually drive is unacceptable. I was also seven months pregnant.

No help from airport rental desk
Pros: Vehicle was good for our needs, but was not clean.
Cons: Upon arrival at the airport rental desk we were told our rental cars were at two different locations in Calgary. We asked how we were supposed to get there and we're told "I don't know" (and apparently didn't care). Ended up renting two shuttles to move a total of eight people and luggage to the different locations where, in all honesty, staff was much better at customer service. Paid extra money for drop off at the airport rather than going through the hassle of getting transportation to the airport from the original pick up location. Be sure your pick up location is where you want it to be! Two mini vans were rented and were adequate.

Cons: No where in the reservation process was I told that Thrifty is part of Hertz and they were operating in a Hertz location. Besides that, it was poorly signed at the location

Great price watch out for fees
Pros: Car was $200 for a week. And they gave us a slight upgrade with gps.
Cons: When I went to pay i was charged for roadside assistance and insurance which I was not asked to purchase which doubled the cost of the rental. I had to work with their management to take the charges off. Had I not had the time I would have had to call and fight on the phone. Be aware of those before leaving with car.
