You can pick up your vehicle upon arrival if you book Economy Rent-a-Car car rentals at Vancouver International Airport. The Economy rental counter lies in the parking level P0 of the main terminal building directly across the street from the main terminal. If you have arrivals for domestic flights, exit the baggage carousel, head down the escalator past 7-11, and cross the street to the basement level of the parking lot. Head left and look for Economy Rent Car signs. International travelers can cross the street from the customs exit point to the basement of the parking garage. It operates daily from 8 am to 10 pm.
When ready to drop off Vancouver International Airport Economy car rentals, please drive back to the facility. You can arrange a drop-off at a different location for a fee. However, if you do not want to incur extra charges, drive back to the pickup location. The address is 2651 No. 3 Rd UNIT 2, Richmond BCV6X 2B2, Canada. Once you drive to the location, find signs for car rental returns leading you to the parking lot. Find the Economy car rental spot and park the vehicle. Take out all your items, record the mileage and drop off the keys with a contract at the Economy car rental counter. Economy offers after-hour services, which let you drop off the vehicle after hours. Leave the vehicle keys and the agreement at the drop box area if using these services.
Even though the after-hour service is for your convenience, it has a downside. The Economy car rental agreement holds you responsible for the vehicle until the time of the company's formal check. This means you will be liable for damages if the car gets into an accident or scratches the window between 10 pm and 8 am. Therefore, consider returning the car rental during operational hours to avoid inconveniences.

All was good. Was served quickly. The car they gave me was pretty good. The only reason I would give 4 star is because they didn't give me a car with a full tank. I don't like getting a half tank car, and then having to try and fill it to that level. I ended up returning full, so hopefully the next guests keep it at that.Reviewed 27 Jan 2026

Ease of pick up and drop offReviewed 15 Oct 2025

We were pleased with the price and the vehicle was clean. Drop off was a breeze. But we did not realize that the car would have to be picked up far away from the airport. We waited more than half an hour for the shuttle because the number we called to request pick up had an automated service that failed to inform a live person that we were waiting. We had to call a second time to talk to someone. Also, the car had a lot of cosmetic damage to the outside and was not the kind of car we had reserved (Camry).Reviewed 9 May 2025

Car was OK but windscreen was broken and the car had some issues like a failure with airbag-system. It wasn’t very clean. Value is ok but not really cheap. The staff was friendly and the pick up from the airport was very easy. We had to wait 45 minutes because the car wasn’t ready when we arrived.Reviewed 29 Aug 2024
