The value for money is highly competitive, and the process of picking up and dropping off the car is super convenient. The best part is that it's inside the airport, so no need to drag heavy luggage around! Highly recommend!

For this Eastern Canada trip, we chose Thrifty car rental through the QEEQ platform and opted for an SUV. After landing, we followed the order instructions and easily found the Thrifty store. The staff quickly processed the rental procedures. We had selected a Toyota RAV4 SUV on the QEEQ platform, but as that model was unavailable at the time, the staff switched us to an equivalent Ford SUV. The vehicle appeared to be quite new, and we were very satisfied.
