Calgary Car Rental During 2017 Spring Festival, Family Trip to Banff National Park. AVIS, BMW X3 SUV

Pickup and drop-off were very efficient.

Picked up the car at Vancouver Airport and returned it at Calgary Airport. The signage at both locations was very clear, making it easy to find the pickup and drop-off points. The return process was particularly efficient, with fuel gauge checks, vehicle inspections, and printouts of the return slip all done seamlessly. However, the pickup process was quite slow. Since we were doing a one-way rental, we had to wait for a car with an Alberta license plate (likely because it's cost-effective for the rental company to charge a one-way fee while returning an Alberta car to Calgary). We waited over an hour after completing the paperwork to get the car (the staff kept saying it would be just another five minutes). We had originally booked a vehicle for up to 7 people, but there was an 8-seater available at the site. However, we didn't upgrade because our luggage just barely fit.

The process for picking up and returning the car was very simple. Inspect the car and take photos yourself when picking it up. When returning, just fill up the tank.

Very good

The car was excellent, both new and clean!
