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.

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.

Everything was great except for customer service beforehand. Two voicemails to change arrival time were completely ignored. AVIS 1-800 disconnected my calls and could not change my arrival time. Luckily, when we arrived a car was available, an upgrade, and service at the desk was excellent.

Pick up was very easy. We ordered the “mystery car” to save money since any type of of vehicle would work for us. When we got to the desk they had enough cars to give us a choice and we took a hybrid which got great gas mileage and only had to fill up once after a week of driving all over the island.

The vehicle had a smell of dampness which stunk the entire 5 days … on the last day of the trip it rained and we realized that the windshield wipers were in poor condition and the rubber parts of teh wipers were busted and could hardly keep the rain off the windshield

Pick up was great. The next day we had low air pressure so went back (since we were still in town) and had them put air in (due to air temp getting cooler) they did a great job. Vehicle was good. Dropping off was a little confusing because there was only a dropbox in the middle of the day but we figured it out. Car was expensive.
