Top tips for hiring a car from Alamo in Ottawa

  • The ease, speed, and convenience of reserving your car online or over the phone can be taken advantage of at any time. Through KAYAK, you can easily decide which vehicle class will most conveniently transport you around Ontario. You'll find a fleet of Alamo car rentals in Ottawa inside the Ottawa International Airport (YOW) terminal. Alamo boasts friendly customer representatives who can help you with any questions or concerns about the available vehicles or the rental process.
  • When travelling as a big family or a group of friends and with lots of baggage, you might consider renting an eight or nine-seater minivan. KAYAK presents sample models with fundamental features and their comparable rental prices. Alamo may not guarantee a specific model but will match your budget with a suitable minivan. The available nine-seater vans may differ from the ones presented on our website. But the company’s agents will hand over keys to a similar model featuring your desired passenger capacity, mobility, fuel economy, comfort, and trunk size.
  • Generally, Alamo is known for its low-cost service. It has a best-rate guarantee policy that prioritizes customers who book cars online at least two days before pickup time. So the earlier you book, the higher the chances of getting a cheaper car rental in Ottawa. To qualify for this offer, you must claim it by filling out an online form. Then you'll get a confirmation email showing your lower booking rate in the next 24 hours.
  • We recommend purchasing additional insurance for Alamo car rentals in Ottawa. Of course, you don't want to imagine an unfortunate event during a vacation or business trip. But it's vital to protect yourself from the inevitable. The extra coverage pays your liability, which may exceed your security deposit after an unexpected road incident. It also shows the company you're a low-risk renter, so its staff won't be apprehensive when handing you a prestigious car model.
  • Intermediate car hire from Alamo in Ottawa are around 17% cheaper than other car types, on average.

FAQs about hiring a car from Alamo in Ottawa

  • What should I do if I arrive late for the pickup or drop-off?

    To pick up your car rental keys, proceed to Alamo's counter at the airport terminal right across from the baggage claim area. You will find a staff member who will give you the keys and the agreement form. The vehicle will be at the private parking garage of YOW, a short walk from the counter. Use the address 1003 Airport Parkway Private, Ottawa, ON K1V 2C1. Return the car to the same lot when you're done with the car. If you arrive after hours, put the keys and the paperwork in the drop box.

  • Can I drive a car I rented in Ottawa to the U.S.?

    The Canadian Province of Ontario shares a border with various U.S. states including New York, Minnesota, and Vermont. Luckily, Alamo allows customers to cross the border with cars rented in Ottawa and other Canadian locations. There are no extra charges for leaving Canada with Alamo car rentals. For seamless crossover, carry paperwork from the Alamo company permitting you to drive to the U.S., a passport (if you're a Canadian), and proof of insurance.

  • Does Alamo accept debit card payments at Ottawa International Airport?

    VISA and MasterCard debit cards are accepted at airport rental locations in Canada, but Discover cards are not. To use a debit card deposit, you must back it up with ticketed return travel plan. If you don't have a return ticket, you must provide a U.S. or international credit card with enough credit as a safety deposit, calculated according to the vehicle rented and the rental location. Your financial information should match the name on your driving license and home address (except for active military personnel).
