“It was the same gentleman for pick up and drop off. Unfortunately I can't recall his name. He make the whole process very quick and efficient and he was a very personable person.”
“Great experience with Thrifty at Halifax Airport. The car was in very good condition, clean and reliable, and the whole rental process was smooth and uncomplicated. Pickup was quick, and the return process was easy and completely hassle-free. Friendly staff and excellent value overall. Would definitely rent here again!”
“Our experience with National in Halifax was incredible. The check in and out process was seamless, staff were professional, and the follow up was incredible. I would highly recommend National.”
“Received a 2026 jeep wrangler which had the car play. very comfortable for the week trip from monton, P.E.I. to cape breton and halifax. Although the Wagler is very loud when there are winds and not the most efficient on gas. Great overall, easy pick up and return, a tad expensive.”
“The staff were great and worked well together. Service was prompt, efficient, and accurate to my reservation. The car was beautiful—brand new with great features. I was able to sync my phone in less than a minute and have a familiar interface even though I drive a different make and model at home.”
“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.”
“Cole at Budget/Avis is a Lifesaver !!! After having a horrendous car rental experience at another agency we decided to try Budget - He was knowledgeable & very helpful in ensuring we got a vehicle with winter tires as requested and all at a reasonable price ! Thank you Cole for a stellar Customer Service experience ! Highly recommend this service at Halifax International Airport .”
“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...”
