List of car rental agencies that operate within the Edmonton airport (YEG)

 

 Subject to change: schedules, listed companies and contact details may change due to commercial decisions or operational updates, so it is always advisable to check availability on the official website of the car rental company before booking.

 

The rental car agency offices are located on the lower level (P1) of the Parkade parking facility, situated directly across from the passenger terminal. This allows travelers to access the counters and pick up their vehicles without needing external shuttle services.

Car rental companies

The airport hosts the major international rental companies, offering a wide range of vehicles to suit different needs and budgets. Advance reservations are recommended, especially during peak season, to ensure availability.

 

Requirements for renting a vehicle

To rent a car at Edmonton Airport, you are generally required to meet the following criteria and present the appropriate documentation:

  • Driver’s license: It must be valid and appropriate for the type of vehicle requested. If the license is not in English or French, it is highly recommended (and sometimes mandatory) to present an International Driving Permit.
  • Credit card: A valid credit card in the main driver’s name is required to cover the security deposit and any additional charges.
  • Identification: Passport or official photo identification document.
  • Minimum age: Most agencies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Drivers under 25 are usually subject to an additional daily “young driver” fee and may face restrictions on certain luxury or large vehicle categories.

 5 tips for renting a car abroad

What to consider:
 
  1. Make sure your driver's license is valid in the destination country. Some countries also require an International Driving Permit (IDP). Keep in mind that the IDP is not valid on its own: it must always be carried together with your national driver's license.
  2. Check the documents and insurance required by local traffic laws, and what coverage is included in your rental (collision damage waiver, third-party liability, deductible).
  3. Learn the traffic rules of the destination country: speed limits on highways and city streets, right of way at intersections without traffic lights, blood alcohol limits, tolls, etc.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on, and whether the steering wheel is on the same side as in your home country.
  5. Know what to do if you are involved in a traffic accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
