Better rent an AWD if you wish to visit remote lighthouses
BrendonSep 2023
Charlottetown is fairly easy to navigate as it's a small city. Just remember the primary streets: University/Queen/St Peters to going north/south and Belvedere/Grafton/Euston for east/west. The biggest change from my last visit was the construction of all the roundabouts. While they can technically save you time on waiting for traffic lights, they can be a bit repetitive when you have to go through 5 in a row to leave via St Peters Rd.

Rent early! Cars are limited on the island, and ridiculosly expensive if you wait last minute.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Make sure to rent a big enough vehicle for your purpose and please make sure to check the inside of th vehicle as well before you take it off the lot …. Be careful of using enterprise

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Charlottetown

  • Getting a car rental in Charlottetown has several advantages over relying on public transportation options like buses. Charlottetown has the best of city life with coastal vibes, and there's no better to explore the city’s attractions like the Confederation Centre of the Arts than driving a Charlottetown car rental. Rental cars offer flexibility in terms of both route and time, unlike public options with fixed schedules. You won't have to worry about ferrying your goods during the trip, as most rental cars have enough cargo space. Additionally, rental cars come with more privacy. As such, you can let loose and fully enjoy your trip.
  • Flights to Charlottetown usually land at Charlottetown Airport (YYG). Car rentals in Charlottetown ensure you can get a ride upon arrival at the airport. Several local and international rental agencies operate at the airport. They have rental counters next to the Baggage Claim area of the main terminal building. Once you've cleared with your rental agency, you will be guided to your Charlottetown car rental outside the baggage claim area.
  • Charlottetown is primarily urban, and most residents drive. Driving a car rental in Charlottetown is generally hassle-free, as it has good and extensive roads.

We were on Emerald Princess cruise ship and had booked in advance online a car for a day visit to an East Coast Canadian port. We were given a call from the local Enterprise office to advise that there had been problems with the online booking system and that the were no cars available from any of the local rental companies. The phone message was very polite however since no phone calls are available when at sea, we did not learn that we had no car until we docked. We have rented many cars from Enterprise but your online rental system must be improved to avoid future disappointment.

Thé service regarding pickup was bad. They said they would close at 6 on my agreement. When they called me they said they were closing at 4 pm. A huge difference for s traveler. I was bounced from kayak to beers to change the pickup time. Hertz didn’t think it was their problem. So I went back and forth. Finding the number to corset hertz was difficult and took a half hour. When I got through they said I should context the pick up location. That’s when I was told that they would be closing at 4. which high was false. I had to pick up my car two hours earlier than I planned because of that misinformation. I felt it was handled very badly and was a stressful experience. It had an impact on the time I decided to head to the airport which hindered my plans with my friends. All in all I wouldn’t do it again
