Hertz scores 86/100 from 47 recent reviews and averages a 24-minute desk wait, so allow time before any onward appointment. Hertz accepts a debit card for some cars only, so check the selected car's rule before booking.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Alamo is the best-reviewed company at Edmonton Airport, scoring 94/100 from 142 recent reviews, but you should allow for its average 21-minute desk wait. Alamo is not the cheapest: for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, Alamo averages £65 a day from 3,245 prices, while Hertz averages £54 from 587 prices, £11 less a day. Hertz scores 86/100 from 47 recent reviews, so compare that saving with Alamo's higher score before choosing. Avis and National do not yet have enough reviews for a score, so do not choose either on the assumption that a missing score means better reviews.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

Edmonton Airport’s Intermediate cars, the Volkswagen Jetta size, cost £48 a day for November 2026 when booked around a month before your trip and suit up to 4 people with 4 bags. An Intermediate seats 5 but takes 4 bags, so check luggage space before adding a 5th person. At the same timing in November 2026, step down to a Compact, the Nissan Versa size, at £42 a day if 3 bags suffice; a Fullsize car averages £52 and seats 7 but still takes only 3 bags, so extra seats do not solve a luggage shortage. Over the last 12 months, 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you do not need to upgrade to get one. Electric and hybrid cars are not offered in these prices, so plan to refuel rather than recharge.
