Enterprise Car Rental at Kelowna Airport

Kelowna International Airport, with the official IATA code of YLW, is found nearby to the city of Kelowna in British Columbia, Canada, and is an airport that handles around 1.3 million passengers per annum. Its main airline carriers include Air Canada, WestJet, Horizon Air, Central Mountain Air and SkyWest Airlines. Passengers can fly to this airport from several destinations in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The best way to discover the attractions in the area is by rented car, from one of the Kelowna International Airport car hire companies. Enterprise is a car rental company available, and is a good choice for leisure or business travellers.

Passengers arriving at Kelowna Airport will find all facilities they require within walking distance. The airport has just a single terminal building, but is efficient in its operations. It also has a master plan in order to expand and renovate its facilities to ensure that the needs of its growing number of passengers will be met. The car rental companies can be found in the terminal building, and are accessible by all passengers and visitors. Enterprise has rental counters nearby the baggage claim area, and are open daily from 07:00 to 23:00. These times coincide with the majority of the airport’s arrival flights. Once passengers have completed the necessary documents at the rental counters they will be able to reach their rented car on foot, which will be parked at the south end of the short-term parking lot. More specific details will be provided by Enterprise at the time of vehicle collection.

Cars available from Enterprise Kelowna International Airport are similar to the Suzuki Swift, Nissan Versa, Dodge Caliber and Ford Focus, which are cars found in the categories of Economy, Compact and Intermediate. They are all cars with an automatic transmission, and two or four doors. They also may include air conditioning and AM/FM stereo. If a passenger requires a larger vehicle, the categories of Fullsize, Premium, Luxury, Minivan and SUV can be considered. The Chevy Impala, Nissan Altima, Buick Allure, Chrysler 300, Buick Lucerne, Ford Escape and Jeep Liberty will comfortably seat five passengers, while the Chrysler Town and Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition have room for seven. Some of the features of these vehicles may include leather upholstery, power locks, power mirrors, telescopic/tilt wheels, V8 engines and cruise control. Pickups, Large Pickups and Cargo Vans can also be hired from Enterprise.

To collect your vehicle you will require a valid drivers license and major credit card, as this location may not accept debit cards for the initial hold placed on the renter’s account for the estimated rental charges. However, a debit card may be used for the final payment of the vehicle. Licenses issued in Canada or the United States are accepted, and most licenses printed in English are also accepted. If you have a license in a foreign language an International Driving Permit may be required. Before leaving the airport, ensure that you are comfortable with the controls of the vehicle, and that the vehicle has been checked for any existing damages. You do not want to held responsible for any damages that you did not cause. The primary renter will also need to meet the minimum age requirements of the location, which are in this case, 21 or older for most car categories, or 25 years of age for all other categories.

Enterprise will require the rented car to be returned to Kelowna International Airport unless a one way hire has been arranged. Enterprise one way hires are convenient for passengers who will be leaving from a different airport, and perhaps for those who are travelling more extensively. Hired cars can usually be driving to most parts of Canada, and may even be permitted into the United States of America. The border between the two countries is only 150km south of Kelowna. A car driven into another country will then be referred to as a cross-border rental. From Kelowna Airport, one way hires and cross-border rentals may be more expensive.

Any passenger with a car from one of the Kelowna International Airport car rental companies is recommended to request a satellite navigation system. The GPS units offered by the various companies are all of a high quality, and allow drivers to easily find any location. They have a choice of languages, will give directions in voice or visual mode, and come pre-programmed with thousands of points of interest that may include shopping centres, medical services, gas stations, restaurants, places of business and tourist attractions. It will also be necessary to hire a child seat if you are travelling with a small child, as all passengers in vehicles driven in Canada are required by law to wear seatbelts. The seats are available in various sizes.

Disabled passengers will find the airport to be accessible, and that Enterprise hand controls are available. This device operates the brake and accelerator pedals of automatic vehicles, and is available from free of charge from the rental location of Kelowna Airport. Hand controls are also not the only service available to disabled persons. A person unable to drive may also allocate an additional driver to the rental contract, free of charge, and still be the primary renter and pay for the rental charges.

Enterprise will be happy to provide further information regarding their car rental services.
