Worst car rental agency in the world. They accepted my reservation for 12pm noon but the office closes at 11.45am. So we had to abandon the reservation and find another one last minute for more money.

Luis was very prompt and helpful in picking me up, and providing options when the car I'd booked had not been returned by the previous renter.

The pick up and drop off service went smoothly and quickly. We usually expect to be held up for some reason or another, so pleasantly surprised that this wasn’t the case.

I was able to return the rental car to a location one block away from the hotel I was staying in and did not have to travel to a further location.

We were able to upgrade to a van, and they gave us a discount! The pickup was a lot faster than last time, it was efficient, even though we were a little early! The lady at the desk was nice and friendly.

I tried calling to confirm the reservation the day before. I called 5 times - once I was told they'd call me back and they never did. I called 3 more times and no one answered. The last time, they put me on hold for 20 minutes, and I had to hang up before someone got to me because I had an appointment.

Even though we showed up early, they did all that they could to accommodate us, despite having a limited number of cars available. Employees were very friendly. The car was very modern and nice.

There was a problem with our reservation. We booked 1 car from Vancouver to Whistler, and then another car 4 days later from Whistler to Vancouver. It however registered as 2 cars from Vancouver to Whistler, so we had to clear that up when picking up the first car. We booked a small car, but got a van. We however understand that the movement of Avis cars across the country don't always allow for the wanted type of car to be at the wanted location on the desired date. A van still worked out ok.

I found it very sketchy that Hertz, knowing I was travelling to Whistler, did not mention upgrading to winter tires. Shame on me for assuming they would. I found myself in very dangerous driving conditions. I feel like potential money, rather than my safety, was their priority. No more Hertz!

Friendly guy and no problems when picking up and dropping off. Price was as advertised.

Only issue was I noticed the front left tire was soft after I picked it up. I had to stop into a garage and top it up. 5 min job so not too worried but not ideal.

The cost for the week was very fair. The staff at the reveal counter were very knowledgeable and helpful. The terms of the contract were clear and as expected. The car was fine. My only beef is that they didn't provide a courtesy pick up and drop off.

I can’t say whether my car was clean or not because I was denied a rental at the counter. Apparently, even though I’m over the age of 25, they’re not allowed to rent to me as I have my GDL (from Alberta). This was not made clear to me on their website or on Kayak when I made the booking. I never realized it would be a problem, as this is not my first rental car. I have a clean record and being GDL hasn’t been an issue before. I didn’t realize they’d be willing to take me if I was 21 and GDL graduated versus encroaching 30 and not wanting to take my test during COVID. I have no qualms with the customer service rep. I understand that he was doing his job, and when I asked for another service that would accept my GDL, he kindly gave me a phone number. I appreciated that. But my friend and I were still stranded on the side of the road with all our luggage and had to walk with it to the nearest rental company. It was a very unpleasant experience and I will not be using National Car Rentals in the future. Fortunately, I was able to procure another rental from this other company and it saved my vacation from a stressful and premature end.
