Steven, the manager at Dollar Rent a Car at Vancouver International Airport, proactively helped us locate the car in the parking lot and assisted in placing a 23-kilogram suitcase into the vehicle. During the rental period, when the car key was accidentally locked in the trunk, Steven took the initiative to call Nissan's service hotline and coordinate with Rusty Towing to resolve the issue promptly. Truly commendable service.

It was a pleasant surprise to rent a Ford Expedition, an eight-seater full-size SUV that had only driven a little over 6,000 kilometers and was practically brand new. The car is spacious, seating eight people comfortably, and is very practical. It performs great for off-road trips, though it feels a bit large for urban areas and is not very convenient for parking. Still, this vehicle is fantastic, and returning it was very easy.

This time, I rented a Chrysler Pacifica, a 7-seater MPV. It was spacious, comfortable, and in excellent condition, with only about 8,000 kilometers on it—practically a new car. As long as you're not going off-road, this model is perfect for a 5-person trip. The most outstanding feature is that, even with 5 people on board, it can easily fit 5 large 28-inch suitcases, and possibly even 6. The deposit was refunded 3 days after returning the car. Both pickup and drop-off were simple and smooth—just refuel, do a light cleaning of the interior, and you're good to go. There was staff waiting at the drop-off point, and the process was hassle-free.

Experience was very disappointing. Pick-up: you either are partner with Routes or you are not. At the counter I got the rehearsed "they did not give us all the information" which is simply non sense. The additional amount we had to pay for the second driver (£113) was different from what mentioned in the booking (£94). When we asked for explanation they printed the email received from Europcar and none of the numbers made any sense at all (rate between GBP and CAD was over 2). Luckily enough we only had to pay for the additional driver and the difference was small, but it was impossible to understand what we paid and what we needed to pay from the information provided. Drop-Off: we had to wait in the pick up queue as no one was available at the return counter. After 20 minutes of wait we were told we could leave the keys to one of their representative - which we eneded up doing - if the car was in the same condition. Not an experience I'd like to repeat.

The staff were very friendly and most helpful on pick up and the whole process was smooth with no issues. And drop off was easy to find and key drop off box was easy to see as it was 4am before the airport location opened.

No problems throughout the journey. The car was mechanically sound and did not give us any problems. They should offer unlimited mileage option at a competitive price. I had a round trip BC experience that exceeded my daily driving limit of 200KM which was very less. So for adventure travellers the car turned out to be bit expensive. I was actually thinking of renting cars with unlimited mileage in future.

The process from pickup to return was very convenient. I booked a Golf but got a Corolla instead, which turned out to be just as good. In fact, the Corolla's power and fuel efficiency were excellent—no wonder it sells so well. I will rent a car again when I come to Vancouver next time. Highly recommended!

She picked us up right outside the airport and drove us to the car rental office to pick up the car.

Don't rent from Easter re gal in Vancouver BC. First of all I thought I was renting from Ace. We used Ace in Europe and we were delighted. How this time it turned out not to be Ace but a sub company. My rental for 5 days was to be $144.00. I was not informed that the discount car rental sub company would not accept my personal car insurances. Discount wanted $50 per day for their insurance. The clerk told me this was BC policy. I called Hertz and got a rental no problem and they accepted my insurance.

Took a bit longer to get our car (30min) b/c the previous renter returned it late .. they were still washing our car when we got there.
