Easy to rent at the airport.

I had booked the car online and had no major issues with either the pick up or drop off, however I would make sure you take a few pics of the vehicle before driving off as the form filling was a bit rushed.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Comox

  • Cheap car hire in Comox allows visitors to travel in comfort and privacy without having to share their space with strangers or wait for the schedule of public transport. Hiring a Comox car hire is also more convenient than using public transportation options, especially if you have luggage or equipment to carry around. Visitors can drive to Mount Washington Alpine Resort for skiing, snowboarding and hiking, or to the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve for surfing, whale watching and beachcombing.
  • It's recommended to make a reservation in advance if you plan to hire a car at Comox Valley Airport (YQQ), especially during peak season or holidays. Car hire options at Comox Valley Airport vary from Economy to Premium and from compact cars to SUVs, and visitors can choose the type of car that suits their needs and preferences. You can also select additional features such as GPS, child seats or winter tyres. The rental car counters are located inside the terminal building, near the Baggage Claim area.
  • Comox is known for its wildlife, which includes deer and bears. Travellers using Comox car hire should watch for warning signs and drive carefully in these areas. There are many four-way stop signs on the roads, which will always require you to come to a complete stop and follow the right-of-way rules. Winter driving requires caution and slower speeds in Comox. Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you to ensure enough time to react when necessary.
  • The Comox Valley area typically experiences mild weather throughout the year, but there are still some driving difficulties that you might encounter when exploring cheap car hire in Comox. The Comox Valley doesn't have much congestion, so rush hour is not much of a problem. However, during summer and holiday events, it's important to note that there might be increased traffic on major roads and highways. During the winter months, there can be snow and ice on the roads in Comox, particularly in rural areas that are not ploughed frequently. Some areas of the Comox Valley can also be very muddy and slippery during heavy rainfall. It's recommended to drive with caution and check road conditions in advance.

The final price was much higher than the price in the reservation. Ther was so much extra fee's and taxes. The price goes up from 400 dollar to 600 dollar for 4 days without insurance. That's an increase of 50 percent. That's not really acceptable. That was my first an last time with kayak and budget.

After you add on their third party insurance it was extremely expensive, worked out to be $143 per day. That is extremely expensive in my books. The car was clean though and exactly what we booked.
