Short ride to the Budget car rental location. They were accommodating to my early arrival. After hours drop off was available. Totally easy process and good service!

We booked this rental weeks in advance but when we arrived at the pick-up point we were advised that there was not a vehicle similar to what we had booked available at that site. They offered an upgraded vehicle which we did not want so they advised that we could go to a different Budget outlet and pick up a car there. They would pay $25.00 towards a taxi fare to get us to the downtown location but the taxi fare was $40.00 and the delay in getting our rental was not appreciated. When we returned the car I complained about there not being an available car at the pick-up point specified in the reservation and the local manager authorized a 15% discount for the inconvenience and ensured that the airport personnel were given what for for the screwup! The discount helped overcome my displeasure but I will avoid using Budget in any future travels.

We returned our car on the day of a bad snow storm. We were meant to get a shuttle back to the ferry, but upon arriving just after 4pm were informed that their shuttle was no longer running (they stop at 4pm, even though they’re open much longer?) - and there was nothing they could do for us. Can times were running almost 2 hours and their only suggestion was that we (two young girls) WALK, with all of our bags, in the snowstorm, along a busy highway, in what would be a 30-40min walk (on a good day!). There were 3 employees there and many cars, and not one of them would budge on this “policy” of not being able to take us. For me, it comes down to being a decent human above and beyond the customer service aspect, or “rules” to abide to. No manager was on duty to speak to and none of the men working were willing to help us. Thank goodness for a very sweet couple who picked us up along the way, or we would have missed the ferry and half froze to death.
Completely and utterly disappointed in this experience, and I certainly will not be returning to rent with this company ever again, nor will any of my network or business partners.

How can I find a great deal on a car rental in Nanaimo?
You are on your way to getting the best rate on your car rental with us. However, there are ways to get an even cheaper price on your upcoming booking. Make sure to:
Read the mileage policy to prevent any surprises
Book your rental car as far in advance as you can
Avoid airport pick-ups and drop-offs if possible; they tend to be more expensive
Compare daily and weekly rates; you might save more if you rent the car for longer
Just following even a few of these tips can help you save big on your Nanaimo rental car.
What rental companies have outlets in Nanaimo?
CarRentals.com has around a half-dozen rental car companies to decide from in Nanaimo. You'll find some of the best brands, like Ace. Look through the reviews to help you figure out which is best for you.
What type of rental car should I get for my trip to Nanaimo?
That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Nanaimo. If you're having difficulty choosing, be sure to read over our table below. We have compared the most popular types of cars for you:
What age do you have to be to rent a car in Nanaimo?
Typically, the age limit for car rentals in Nanaimo is 21—the same as it is across most of the country. Additionally, many suppliers charge an extra fee if you are under 25. Be sure to read the supplier's terms to determine any additional fees will be before you book your rental.
Is insurance required to rent a car in Nanaimo?
Insurance is always needed, no matter where you rent a vehicle. However, your current car insurance may cover you. Additionally, if you pay for the rental in full using your credit card, the card's policy may also insure you. Keep in mind, those policies may not provide total coverage, and you'll need to add it to your booking for Nanaimo. Check in advance and, if it's needed, you can simply add it at checkout.
Are there different fuel policies?
Most suppliers give you a choice of fuel policies. Here is a list of the typical policies.
You will need to find an open gas station near the drop-off location
What fuel policy do you recommend?
We usually recommend that you choose the full-to-full policy. This policy is the most straightforward, and you simply top off the tank before you bring it back.
Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Nanaimo?
If you plan to see all that Nanaimo offers, you are going to want unlimited miles. You can drive as far as you'd like without worrying about additional charges. Read the fine print to be sure your mileage is actually "unlimited."
Before you drive off
Before you begin on your Nanaimo adventure, check out a few things before you leave the rental lot. You should:
Walk around your vehicle and determine if there is any dents or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
Check the trunk to determine if the spare is properly inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and wipers
Get comfortable working the entertainment and GPS (if available). You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
