Hertz Car Rental at Edmonton International Airport

Edmonton International Airport is located approximately 26km, or 16 miles south of downtown Edmonton, and is a hub for flights to northern Alberta and northern Canada. It is the country’s fifth largest airport, with around 6 million passengers per annum, and is rated as the second largest in terms of its total land size. It is extremely well equipped to meet the needs of its passengers, and its facilities include car hire companies such as Hertz Edmonton International Airport. Hertz is one of the most famous providers of car rental services in the world, and have existed for almost a hundred years.

Edmonton Airport currently consists of two terminal buildings, known as the South Terminal and the North Terminal, and in the previous few years, has undergone much expansion work to improve its facilities. A central concourse will link the two terminal buildings, and a central tower will house traffic control operations at the top and airport observation areas, as well as shopping outlets and restaurants, on the lower levels. Passengers will arrive in the North Terminal if on flights from international and local destinations, and in the South Terminal if on flights from the United States. Hertz at this rental location is found with other Edmonton International Airport car hire companies in the Parkade building of the airport, nearby the terminals. The rental counters are on Level P1 of the Parkade, and are within walking distance of the arrival areas on the ground floors of the passenger terminals.

Edmonton Airport is nearby to one of the largest cities in Canada, and to many attractions which can easily be reached by car. In the city the most popular attractions include the Alberta Legislature Building, the Aquatics Entertainment Stage and Sea Live Caverns, the Commonwealth Stadium, Deep Sea Adventure, Galaxyland, Valley Zoo and the World Waterpark, while nearby, is the Elk Island National Park and Fort Saskatchewan. Passengers who have rented a car from Hertz can drive to all these attractions and many more on the main motorways which are found in and around the city of Edmonton. The main road leading from the airport to the city is the Queen Elizabeth II Highway.

The vehicles offered by the majority of Edmonton International Airport car rental companies can be hired by persons twenty-one years of age or older. The primary renter and driver of the vehicle will also need a major credit card and a valid drivers license. Additional drivers can be added to the rental contract at an extra cost, and will need to meet the same requirements as the primary renter. A disabled person unable to drive is allowed an additional driver as well (someone who can operate a vehicle), however, this driver is then free of charge. The disabled person remains as the primary renter, and may use his/her credit card for payment of the rental. Hertz hand controls are offered to persons with a lower limb disability in need of a vehicle from Edmonton Airport. Hand control equipment is free of charge as well, but will require a reservation at least a few days prior to vehicle collection.

Along with your Hertz vehicle, remember to hire additional items of equipment needed, such as child seats for the younger members of your family or the Hertz NeverLost In-Car Navigation System. Mobile phones can also be hired, and ski-equipped vehicles can be arranged should you be heading to the Canadian Rockies. Child seats hired by Hertz come in various sizes, therefore it is best to specify the age and weight of your child/children, so that the correct seat is reserved. Gold Counter Service is available for Hertz #1 Club Gold members at Edmonton Airport as well, which is a service offered to more frequent renters of the company. Hertz defines a frequent renter as someone who has rented a car three or more times in a twelve month period. Occasional renters can join the Hertz #1 Club, and enjoy many benefits as well, and in general, faster reservations, rentals and vehicle returns.

Cars of all sizes are available from Hertz, Edmonton Airport, including larger SUVs such as the GM Tahoe and GM Suburban. Seven passengers could also be seated in a Minivan, similar to the Chrysler Grand Caravan. Although a larger car is often required, especially by families, they can be expensive, and smaller cars are generally much cheaper. In the Hertz Standard car category, the Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent an Nissan Sentra are vehicles of a small to average size, while the Dodge Avenger and Chevrolet Impala are a little larger. All vehicles from Hertz are only of the latest model, and are considered to be in good mechanical condition. They are also regularly cleaned and checked for safety. From Edmonton Airport, all cars, but especially larger or specialty vehicle models, should be hired in advance. Online reservations are most convenient.

For passengers who will not be returning to Edmonton Airport, one way hire services may be arranged, allowing the hire car to be taken to another Hertz rental location. Hertz one way hires may also be referred to as the Hertz Rent-It-Here and Leave-It-There service, and may be more expensive than an ordinary rental. However, one way hires are more convenient for certain travel itineraries.
