Car hire - simple, easy, and affordable prices
Bookingauto (Calgary) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Calgary can always collect them from the most suitable place.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Calgary, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible BMW Z4 from €80 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by sixt. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Ford Tourneo at a rate of €43 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, budget is ready to offer a Business-class model - Mercedes E. A budget transport option for a journey would be a VW Polo car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €17 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

Car rental cost by month
The highest demand for car rental in Calgary occurs during the high tourist season - summer.
On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Seat Toledo in Calgary is €35 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €11 per day.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a BMW Z4 is offered at €80 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Calgary is the VW Polo. The sixt company rents it out for €17 per day.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Mercedes E will cost about €74 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Toyota Rav-4 at this time can be rented for just €37 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Calgary, you can easily rent a Audi R8 to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.
