Car Rental near Goffs, NS

“Was extremely worried about hiring from this outlet after reading reviews but was pleasantly surprised about our experience in oct 2024.we had already booked a car through online agent and when we arrived at their reception this was quickly found and i was also told my wife could also drive car at no extra cost. did check over of car, took plenty of photos ,video and was told there were no major dents, scratches on car .imagine my worry when i stopped later that afternoon and saw some marks on side of car bonnet that could be taken as scratches .however i had photos so no worry. Took the car back 8 days later and after a quick check over by hertz they said all clear and that was that.So i can only say to make certain at check out you have plenty of photos and bring up any concerns then. Although cars are in a underground carpark just put on flash to get good photos. so can only give 5 stars”

“Booked a Corolla from Halifax through Zest, pre-paid, bit of a slow process getting signed and by the time we got to the desk, all the Corollas and equivalent had gone. So we were given a Pacifica minivan, which was brilliant. Handover at the end absolutely the simplest process I've ever experienced with a rental. No quibbles, no scams, very happy.”

“The wait time to collect our reserved vehicle was a reasonable 15-20 minutes. We were given a 2024 Audi A4 KOMFORT with 36,000 kilometers on the odometer. The vehicle performed admirably, allowing us to travel safely throughout the Maritimes, covering a total of 3,900 kilometers by the end of our trip! Appreciated the presence of all essential safety features, including blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and pre-collision assistance, which made us feel more comfortable during bad weather.

The staff involved in the check-in and check-out processes were both friendly and efficient.

While the interior was well-maintained, the exterior could have benefited from additional cleaning, as there were bird droppings on the sunroof and a significant amount of mud on the wheels when we picked-up the vehicle. It was also due for service so a reminder light kept popping up on the dash. The tire pressure monitor had given a false alarm when there was no leak or puncture.”

“Fast and efficient service at check out and check in. Agent gave us some driving instruction at pickup because the vehicle was a Tesla Model 3… she/we had some difficulties finding some of the features of the car. It was nice to have the personalized “driving test” experience before leaving the lot.Personally, I’d not recommend renting an EV at the Halifax airport. The Tesla is a nice car to drive but finding fast chargers is problematic. Enfield Irving Big Stop (just north of the airport) seemed to be the only pace with Tesla Superchargers but even these took close to 50 minutes to charge 50% - and you’re looking at about a 10% burn to get back into Halifax. At least these seem to be free. Update - the Tesla chargers at Enfield are not free, we got a notice from Avis a couple of weeks after we returned with a bill of around $65 for two charges.Most of our trip had to be planned around finding chargers. We used Switch which had a few Level 2 chargers in the Halifax area - all of these were slow with about an 8% charge over 60 minutes… if they weren’t under repair. They were often in weird places. The Flo network might have faster chargers. Prepare to spend your vacation time looking for chargers. It would be awesome if Avis recommended a charging company as a starting point to make the search for chargers easier. The agent did tell us that there were even fewer chargers in Cape Breton. We did a drive out to Peggy’s Cove and then had to drive out to Enfield the next day to charge the car somewhat efficiently. What we saved minimally in gas costs we lost in time waiting for the car to charge.Avis - great service. Tesla, pain to charge.”

“I’ve never had a negative experience renting from Enterprise. I’ve only rented at YHZ one time and the experience was, as always, positive. Fast, friendly (Bluenosers are wonderful down to earth people) and efficient when picking up and incredibly efficient when returning a car. I travel extensively for my job and I always choose Enterprise. Continue treating me right, and you’ll have this customer for life.”

“I am rating them 4 stars as I have always had quick, and efficient service here, however my latest return was disappointing. I dropped the car as I usually do and was told I would be emailed my invoice. When I received it , there was a $160 refueling charge despite having just filled the car. I have emailed 3 times and have yet to receive a response. Upon scrolling through other reviews, this appears to be a frequent issue. Hoping for a resolution.”

“We initially made a reservation with Enterprise at the Halifax Airport, but when we arrived at the their counter no one was there and their station was dark. Several other Enterprise customers who were also left stranded because of this were in line at Budget Car Rental. We were helped by Joey, the friendliest and most helpful person we had encountered all day. In the time it took him to rent us a (VERY nice) Kia AWD, his kindness and genuine desire to assist us, and even give us recommendations of things to do while here, brightened our darkened moods after a long and difficult day of travel. THANK YOU, Joey! We appreciate you more than you know! If you’re Joey’s boss you should give him a raise! ?”

“Return of car after 30 days and 4500km. Very nice employee. Formalities dispatched promptly and vehicle repair costs for some wearing parts reimbursed without discussion...”
