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.
Verified travelerAug 2023
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

The windscreen wipers were very poor and need replacing immediately. It actually became extremely dangerous as we drove through heavy rain - made visibility very difficult. In addition, you accepted (and we paid for) the hire car rental until Sunday 26th , however the place we were to drop the car off at closes on a Sunday, hence we had to drop the car off a day earlier than expected. Please note for future hiring. Finally, when hiring the vehicle, there was a $750 "hold" on my credit card, however instead of being put through as a hold, it was actually taken out of my account. I hope this is returned quickly.

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
