Calgary Cheap Car Rentals - YYC

When arriving at the Calgary International Airport, visitors are presented with excellent rental car choices from all the major agencies like Hertz, Avis, Alamo, Budget, National, and Enterprise car rentals. Drivers must be older than 18 and have a valid driver’s license. If your license is not in English or French it is important to arrive with an International Driver’s License as well. The average rate for a basic vehicle will be around $35-50 a day, with extras like GPS, baby seats and snow chains costing more. It is best to have a credit card but most companies do accept a debit card providing you can leave a substantial deposit.

The Calgary street network is very logical and well planned with the four majors quadrants making up its basic design. The downtown area is located primarily in the Southern quadrant. Streets are named cleverly as well, with ‘streets’ running north-south and avenues east-west. Streets are either named or numbered, with approximately 10 streets per mile, but once you get a feel for navigating using these rules it does become easy.
