Right from the beginning when we called to investigate the rental the staff were excellent we picked our car up early as our flight was moved up. They had the car ready. Car was in great shape price was much better than renting from the airport. We took the sky train to the city and the store was only 2 blocks away. The fellow that helped to give us the car was excellent! Went over all details and return details. Was a great experience and we would highly recommend using their rental service.

If you are looking for a good quality customer service and affordable price rent a car, come to Pacifc Car Rentals located in downtown Vancouver. We rented a 12 seater Van going to Squamish and it was smooth sailing. The Van did not cost us too much gas when we refill it. Thank you Ulay and Mark for your excellent customer service.

Service was friendly, helpful, and efficient. And they are flexible: I was almost an hour late returning the car, and was not charged for this. The car performed very well. I would definitely use Pacific Car Rentals again.

Superb. They might be a second tier car rental company but the Customer Service was outstanding, they were very flexible, the car was great (Nissan Sentra) and the rates were well under others. All in all, 10 out of 10!

Great service! This was one of the only places in the city that I could find that rents to people under 21. They were very accommodating. Super convenient since it's located right near the train station. 100% would recommend!!

The car was clean and practically brand new. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. And the fact that you could use the free indoor parking down town was a real plus. Five stars without hesitation, I highly recommend it!
