Cheap Car Hire in Downtown, Montreal from ฿227

Despite our reservation, Avis did not have a car for us when we arrived. After a wait, the only vehicle they could rent us was a truck that was huge and awful to drive. It had no trunk for our luggage. It was extremely difficult to drive and park in cities, especially historic areas we were going to i Montreal and Quebec City. It was awful.

According to Avis staff, dealers choice will be the smallest car available.

The gave me a "full tank" that was half water... Same route and speed both ways: it used 19L there, filled it up and used 11L on the way back...

All good except the drop off at the airport. There was no one there to greet us and no directions on what to do with the keys.

It is an absolutely terrible place with no service at all. I am so stressed! It was my biggest mistake to rent a car here. I booked a car for 3 days, came to the office and was 3rd in the line. Only one person was servicing clients and it took 15min per client. Then imagine, I was planning to go to Pennsylvania, they wanted to offer me a Tesla! There were 3 keys on the desk: all of them from Tesla. Well, finally I got a mini-SUV, but their smart-phone based inspection did not work and crashed! So much time was lost and for what!? To see small 1cmx1cm images of pictures on the car on a smartphone screen? It is crazy! OK! When I checked the car, the fuel level was 3/8, tank was not full as per contract. How do you return with the same level of fuel back? It is not possible at all! Moreover, I overpaid ~10L for gas: I checked the gauge, fuel economy and distance and found I needed an extra 5L to get 3/8. I paid 5L, and the fuel gauge level did not change again. I did it one more time, no change and after the 3rd time I realized that the fuel gauge doesn't work properly. OK, one more nightmare, I came to the office when it should be open after 8am, but nobody was there. I tried to call Thrifty support line, but you know, all the phone line options were out of my request. Finally somebody replied to me and tell me someone will be in the office at 9am, but it did not happen: I was waiting for ~1.5hr and nobody appeared. So, I originally lost approximately 1hr when taking the car and it resulted into delay in crossing Canada/US border. Another 1.5hr I was trying to return a car. Do not use this service as well as Dollar and Hertz (it is the same company now), go to Budget!

Went 4 times Wasted time going Never got my car Wasted time calling kayak to get my refund

Good clean car. Car rental rates are expensive post covid

Never got the car I booked tried to fob me off with a tesla. Poor staff, not interested in your needs. No desire to ever use hertz again, canceled and booked with budget, who were most accommodating.

Helpful, friendly staff person.
