When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Canada vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Canada are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Edmonton, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
There is no universal rule in Canada in respect of attaching registration numbers to the car. Thus, in the province of Ontario car numbers must be present on both sides of a vehicle, while in Quebec drivers can attach only one number at the back of a car. The front registration number is often replaced with plates advertising the car’s dealer or with various funny inscriptions.
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.
