The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Calgary are: Chrysler Journey, Toyota Landcruiser, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, Ford Escape and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Canada ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Canada are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Starting from the beginning of November until the middle of April, parking along certain roads may be prohibited. The reason for this limitation is in the fact that in winter roads are cleaned from snow every day.
In some provinces, an incredibly large amount of snow falls during winter. In some areas, there is so much snow that it is impossible to see hydrants on the sides of roads. In this case auxiliary road signs will be really handy. The hydrant, depicted on such signs, indicates the place where one should “dig” in order to find the device.
In winter, snowmobiles are considered full participants of traffic. It should be noted that at certain parts of roads snowmobiles are allowed to ride even on sidewalks.
