PNW - Driving a rental from Portland to Vancouver

[rosiedozie]

Have any of you had luck getting a rental car in the US and returning in Canada? I got a quote from Hertz and it was crazy expensive. Budget is usually my go to but it wouldn't let me do that online, I think I might need to give them a call.

We looked into it from Seattle to Vancouver and it was really expensive, so we just returned in Seattle and didnt fly out of Vancouver

That might be a good solution. And you were still able to drive across the border without problems?

No issues at all. Neither going or coming back did they even ask about our car. We told the car rental company ahead of time and they had no issue either. I think we used Budget? We did it through Costco.

Awesome - thanks!

My parents rented here in Portland last year and drove it to Vancouver Island and back with no problem. They didn't try to return it in Canada though. I believe we booked with AVIS last time, through Costco.
