Jasper Car Hire

Rough going to pick up car

Pros: First thing the train from Vancouver but was unable to call the rental office because of no service for cell phone. Budget does not have a contract with VIRail but other rental companies do, so it was not called by the train that we would be late. All this necessitated our locating a hotel room (Jasper was close to full up). The next morning we did get our car. It was not what I reserved. I reserved a full size and got a small Jeep. By then we felt so fortunate to have a car we just took it. The lady that served us was very nice. Car was less than optimal: very bumpy ride, small interior for 4 people with luggage, eat gasoline so much we kept checking we were not in 4wheel drive.

Cons: Small, uncomfortable, not what I reserved, poor ride, not fuel efficient, not open after 5 with no arrangements to pick up car if late
