Cons: They called me the day I was to pick up the car and said they didn't have any cars. They said I should not have been able to reserve one online because they had been sold out for awhile.
So I had to quickly find another car to rent. Bummer.

This is one of the saddest car rental outposts I'v
Pros: Cheap and convenient.
As anyone that has come into Victoria on a ferry or float plane probably knows, this is one of the two car rental places in the corner lot across from the Conference Centre on Douglas. It's about the most convenient spot possible if you're staying in one of the downtown Victoria hotels.
For some reason both facilities were very low on available cars when we were in Victoria, so we ended up going with National instead of the place next door that I usually use purely based on the availability of cheaper cars (all the other place had left was luxury cars & SUVs), as all we needed the car for was about 12 hours.
Cons: They are a mess organizationally. I didn't get the car I reserved. When trying to drop off, there were missing employees. On top of all this, the car we were given was dirty inside.
Would I use them again? Probably, if the price was right, but with my expectations more in tune with my experience.

Friendly Staff, Decent Car
Pros: Convenient location, clean car, easy drop off.
Cons: I don't like the fact that I can't pay with my debit/credit card. I rode a bus for thirty minutes only to be turned around because the card I had in my pocket wasn't the one they wanted. They wouldn't give me a ride back to my hotel, no I had to travel an hour round trip on the bus to bring a satisfactory card. I dislike this policy immensely and will not do business with companies that require it.

Pros: Gas mileage.
Cons: This vehicle rattled around every corner from pick up to drop off.
It had very little power and just felt like it was made of cheap, hard plastic that made it feel like it was going to fall apart, even on the nicely paved roads of Victoria. I have not driven a Hyundai before, but would definitely request NOT to have this brand next time.

Easy and efficient
Pros: Friendly and fast is the best way to describe my Budget experience in Victoria. Even got a free upgrade, so that was a nice surprise. I was particularly surprised at how much attention I received at a busy time. I didn't feel like I was being processed in order to move on to the next person. Great experience from start to finish.

Pros: I left my wallet in the glove box and didn't realize it until I got back to FL. The Budget office in Tofino, BC, Canada was polite, professional and they found my wallet. It is in the mail on the way back to me as I write this.
As far as the car rental experience, the pick up and drop off was quick and easy. The Chevy Equinox we rented was clean and gave us no problems.

Solid rental at a great price
Pros: My wife and I were able to rent a car at the last minute, on a holiday weekend, but at a very good price. Car was clean and comfortable.

Cons: I cancelled my reservation. Unlimited mileage from the Victoria Budget office does include travel outside the province of B.C. There is a surcharge per kilometre for the entire rental if you travel outside of B.C. This should be noted on your site when selecting this Budget location. I became aware of this during a research on a travel web site. This was confirmed with a call to the car rental office. Unlimited should mean unlimited.

Watch out for unkept promises
Pros: Car was fine. Service was fine. Hey upgraded the car but I didn't really want that. The main problem being gas. It was the only car they had so I didn't have a choice. There were no hidden charges which was good
Cons: Kayak basically lied. There is no enterprise location at the airport so it was a $60 cab ride both ways to pick the car up. It was a long weekend and everyone was sold out of cars so I was left without a choice. I will never rent with enterprise in Victoria again,and I will definitely never use kayak to book a car.

No car in this lot
Pros: Car was cleaned
Cons: I reserved my car about 1 month ago and when I arrived, there was no car closed to what I ordered. I ordered a compact car and they only had a minivan and a SUV. In addition, they wanted to charge me for an extra driver. I have never experienced this with Avis or Hertz. Although other companies may be slightly more expensive, at the end, I am not sure it really is.
Their location is also not close to the downtown. They gave us a ride to downtown and said they would call me in about 30min when the car arrives. After the time passed, they did not call me and i had to call them to remind them to pick me up.
They also do not tell you that they charge you $500 in advance and then will give you a credit for the difference upon your return. This is also very different from other rental car companies that I have rented from.

Top tips for renting a car in Victoria
- Renting a car in Victoria lets you explore the city and its surroundings on your own schedule without having to pay for cabs or face the crowds in public transports. Perched on the edge of Vancouver Island, the city has lots of places you can drive to such as Beacon Hill Park. A rental car is also perfect for discovering other destinations outside Victoria, including the scenic route to nearby Saanich Peninsula, which is only 45 minutes away.
- All the big car rental agencies can be found at Victoria International Airport (YYJ), which is located approximately 25 km (15.5 miles) north of Victoria. Car rental services are situated in the arrivals hall of the airport's passenger terminal, straight across from the Information Desk. Handicap hand controls are available with some companies when requested in advance.
- Victoria itself is a fairly easy city to navigate, but remember that traffic signs will be expressed in kilometers rather than miles. If you're heading to other destinations outside the city, beware that some back roads may be trickier, especially in the winter months. Vancouver Island is also popular among cyclists, so be extra careful when driving through the area.
- Traffic around Victoria usually flows nicely throughout the whole day, especially when compared to other big cities in Canada and the U.S., but driving into or out of the city during morning or evening rush hour can be a bit chaotic. Avoid driving into the city between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and out of the city between 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Victoria for C$ 44 or less
- Book your rental car in Victoria at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Victoria are around 34% more expensive than airport locations on average
- Standard rental cars in Victoria are around 34% cheaper than other car types, on average
