It is recommended to have PERS coverage when using vehicle in cross border rentals for the US and Canada. The renter must have a valid driver's license and rental record to cross the border into Canada. Canadian law does require that everyone entering the country have a passport, so everyone in the vehicle must have the proper identification. If a renter (including a Canadian resident) is driving a U.S. rented (and licensed in the U.S.) vehicle to Canada, it can only be driven across the border for up to 30 days unless an extension is requested from Customs at the time of entry.

I had previously rented a car at Washington Dulles Airport and experienced Dollar's aggressive upselling. So this time, I deliberately avoided Dollar and chose Thrifty, not knowing they are the same company. The attendant I encountered this time was even worse than the last one. Initially, the paperwork was smooth, but then they started pushing all sorts of insurance and toll passes, asking me to pay an additional 300 dollars, almost the cost of my 10-day rental. I repeatedly said I didn't need them, but he kept pushing. A Chinese friend behind me in line couldn't stand it anymore and told him I had already bought the necessary insurance when booking, only then did he stop. However, his attitude changed, and he angrily tossed the documents to me, directing me to the C-class car area. When I got to the parking lot, I found their so-called C-class cars were small vehicles like Hyundai Accents, whereas I had booked a compact car. I went back to negotiate, but he insisted that the car I booked was of that class. I called QEEQ customer service for help, but they couldn't resolve it either. As it was getting late, I had no option but to drive away in frustration. Later, I noticed the rental agreement clearly stated the car class as 'B', it felt like deliberate retaliation! This was the worst of all my international car rental experiences and I have never encountered such a malicious person abroad!

When I arrived in the evening, they told me there were no cars available, and they could only provide an electric vehicle. If I felt uncomfortable with that, I could come back the next morning to exchange it for a gas-powered car. When I told them in advance that I needed to drive this car 300 miles to New York, the electric vehicle only had a range of 230 miles. They were evasive when asked about the charging time and range details. The next day, when I went to swap the vehicle, they acted as though it was completely justified to have already closed the transaction for the electric car. It was only after asking for their manager that they reluctantly gave me a very worn-out Toyota Corolla. On top of that, they claimed the electric car wasn’t fully charged when returned and tried to impose additional charges.
