KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sault Ste Marie

  • Car hires in Sault Ste Marie offer convenience in exploring the city's natural beauty, including parks, lakes, and forests and taking scenic drives, which might not be possible by public transport. Hiring a car for transit across this city allows you to move around on your terms, including spending more time at attractions that interest you, and even accessing attractions in remote locations. You can visit attractions more accessible by car, including Agawa Canyon Tour Train, Lake Superior Provincial Park, Batchawana Bay, and Canadian Bushplane Heritage Center.
  • When flying into this city, you can hire a vehicle at Sault Ste Marie Airport (YAM), about 19 km (12 miles) west of the city centre.

The on site agent should be more friendly and not just factual. There was no one at the window when we returned the car to discuss costs. We were billed more than we were told we would be billed. The car was fine.

Very low tire pressure. Had to have tires pumped up. Treads are worn. Tires need to be replaced for safety

The Sault airport Budget office is impossible to get ahold of. We spent hours trying to contact someone there and also left messages which no one returned. Suggestions: - Call forward phone to someone with Budget in the Sault if the airport location is always unattended. - Whoever works there checks voice mails remotely or physically (if at the airport). We left messages but no one got back to us.

I had scheduled pickup at 12 and even though I was hours early the car was ready and the drop off time was renegotiated to Friday at 9am for my convenience.

2.0 Poor

Aug. 2018

KAYAK

Pros:

my reservation had conflicting addresses so I called the car rental place to find out the reservation did not exist, nor were they part of Kayak.IT WAS A SCAM.If I did not call, I would have NOT had a car for a funeral. Being summer, all cars from every company in town were booked. I would have been ....screwed.

Cons:

NO ONE IS ACCOUNTABLE. IF I DID NOT HAVE THE INSIGHT TO CALL THE CAR RENTAL COMPANY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A TRIP WITHOUT A VEHICLE IN AN AREA YOU MUST HAVE A VEHICLE. TERRIBLE SITUATION
