Summer months will present no problems and you can enjoy the city and surrounding road trips with anything from a compact economy car to a sedan or SUV.

Take budget and itinerary into consideration and tailor your car hire choice to your needs.

In the city centre, it is advised that you stick to 50 kph, and when roads are larger, you can push it to 80 kph. Generally, the fastest you can go on the highways is around 90 kph. Always use the signs around you as your guide.

The Pownal Parkade, Queen Parkade and Fitzroy Parkade are all large garages that will be safe to leave your Charlottetown hire car.

Pros:
The car we eventually received was clean and in excellent conditionCons:
Be warned. When they say taxes and fees included. They by NO means mean all taxes and fees. Read the fine print ladies and gents. When I arrived to pick up the car we were informed of MANY extra charges. If you want an extra driver it is an extra 25-35$ per PER DAY. If you want full insurance coverage it is an extra 20-35$ a day PER DRIVER. If you are under 25 it is and extra 25-35$ a day PER DRIVER. When we arrived .to pick up the rental csr, I was informed that I would be unable to actually rent the car unless I rebooked it under a credit card with the main drivers name. I intended to be the sole driver, and do not have a credit card under my name. We had to completely rearrange our trip so that the person with the credit card was the main driver of the csr. Once that was all re arranged, we were invoiced almost 400$ for a car rental that we had booked for around 85$ online . Pretty ridiculous. I'm sure there are lots of details I have left out, feel frree to askOne location in Charlottetown

They were great to deal with, and I ended up with a very nice upgrade. And no hard upsales like some places...which I really value.Cons:
The only issue I have is that the University Ave location closed at 6:00pm, and my flight was late so I needed to wait a day to get car. They should be open much later in the summer tourist season at least.10.0 Wonderful

Even after a confirmation call two days prior to my trip, the kayak reps assured me that I was renting from the airport when in fact it was downtown Charlottetown. This caused me to have both a financial and time delay in getting to my destination.One location in Charlottetown

Some Charlottetown car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Charlottetown.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Charlottetown car hire.
