Alamo Car Rental at Edmonton International Airport

Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is second largest airport in the Alberta province of Canada, and the fifth busiest airport in the entire country. Just over six million passengers use Edmonton Airport every year. Most travel on domestic flights, but almost two million are on transborder and international flights. WestJet is the largest airline carrier at the airport, with 28 destinations. For transport, passengers have the option of public buses, taxis or rented cars, from the car hire companies such as Alamo Edmonton International Airport. Alamo has the best cars for leisure travel, and offers airport passengers competitive car rental rates.

Edmonton Airport has two large terminal buildings, one of which was recently constructed to support the expected growth of the airport. The buildings are known as the North and South Terminals, due to their locations, and are not far apart. A concourse will be built to link the two terminals, and for further passenger facilities. In 2013, the airport will also receive a new hotel, with 210 rooms. It will be linked to the passenger terminal by a heated pedway. The Edmonton International Airport car hire companies are located nearby to all airport facilities, and in the parking garage area. They are found on Level P1, and their vehicles are parked nearby. Alamo at this rental location is open from 07:00 to 22:00 on weekdays and from 08:00 to 22:00 on weekends. The rental counters seldom close, but Alamo’s hours on public holidays may vary.

Alamo’s vehicles hired in Canada are ideal for all occasions, but Alamo has established themselves as a company that specializes in providing vehicles for leisure travellers. Over their years of service, Alamo has provided low-cost but high-value car rental experiences for their clients, and have done everything possible to ensure that the process of car hire is fun and quick. Alamo has introduced many services to encourage leisure car rentals, and to promote holiday travel in general, and also provided new car rental contracts the size of an airline ticket. Just over ten years ago, Alamo was the first car rental company with real-time booking capabilities on the internet, and in 2005, was the only company with an online check-in system. Online Alamo car reservations are the most convenient, and are recommended for busy airport locations such as Edmonton Airport.

While reserving your vehicle from Alamo, remember to request a child seat if you have a baby or toddler travelling with you, and a satellite navigation system will be most useful for all drivers, but especially for anyone who has not driven in Edmonton before. Although Canadian cities are usually well laid out in terms of roads and highways, a navigation system could prove to be an invaluable part of your journey. Besides just directions, GPS units are also able to show you the nearest petrol station, restaurant, hotel, tourist attraction, golf course, medical centre, etc, as they are usually pre-programmed with thousands of points of interest. Alamo hand control equipment is useful for persons with a lower limb disability, and from Edmonton Airport, hand controls (free of charge) should be reserved at least a few days in advance of vehicle collection.

The Edmonton International Airport car rental companies offer many vehicles in a variety of car categories, and Alamo is no exception. The cars mentioned for each category are only examples and will not necessarily be the car you will receive, however, the car you drive will be similar in size and characteristics. Nonetheless, always use any passenger or luggage capacities indicated for the vehicle as a general guideline only, as vehicles will differ according to their manufacturer. Smaller vehicles for hire are often less expensive options, and are ideal for city travelling. They could be taken on the longer road as well, provided you don’t have too many luggage items to carry. The Suzuki Swift and Nissan Versa are examples of smaller Alamo vehicles.

Vehicles in the Midsize, Standard and Fullsize categories are quite popular as well, and include the Dodge Caliber, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Impala. Alternatively, Alamo has a large range of SUVs for hire as well, such as the Ford Escape in the Midsize SUV category, the Ford Explorer in the Standard SUV Category, the Chevrolet Tahoe in the Fullsize SUV category and the Chevrolet Suburban is a Premium SUV. The last two mentioned are capable of seating up to seven passengers. Large Minivans and Vans from Alamo include the Dodge Grand Caravan for seven and the Chevrolet Express for up to fifteen passengers. Most of the mentioned vehicle categories can be requested as one way hires, and their vehicles returned to a location other than Edmonton International Airport. One way hire services may incur additional charges.

To rent a car from Alamo, Edmonton International Airport, you will need to be at least 21 years of age, and should have held a valid drivers license for a year or two prior to the rental date. A major payment card such as Mastercard, Visa, Discover, Diner’s Club, Diner’s Club Int’l and American Express will be required at the start of the rental period. Find out from Alamo all documents required for your rental, and if an International Driving Permit should be organised.
