Car rental
Agency Authentic: perfect, Thrifty: average
(Translated by Google) Quick and clear answers from the Authentic agency, thank you again for everything!
Regarding the Thrifty rental agency, it's OK but there was a problem at the airport to receive the car, which was not ready (they didn't have any more!). We waited over an hour when our plane was already 45 minutes late! And that was really a very, very bad surprise! Organization deplorable at their level, for the rest RAS

Car rental: excellent service!
(Translated by Google) After a long process of research and comparison to rent a 7-person minivan (taken from Halifax, left in Montreal), we opted for the most financially attractive offer (thanks to Cloé for her patience!). We obtained an almost new vehicle with all the possible functions (connected on-board computer, GPS, high-performance air conditioning, etc.).
We will trust Authentik Canada again!
Car rental
(Translated by Google) We had a new Hyundai Sonata (4200 km), very clean, spacious, economical (6.5l/100km). We get on well with the automatic gearbox and the regulator, a real treat!!
Interesting rates but beware of special numbers
(Translated by Google) Everything was perfect except that the number given by Authentik for assistance is not a free number as stated, but a special number expensively charged by most operators. My adviser being on vacation, I had to call this number several times due to saturation and I therefore had quite high telephone costs. Picking up the car in Toronto isn't easy as the emp doesn't seem to be there all the time and you have to call for him to come.....when he comes. I needed information the day before the pickup and I couldn't see anyone. Apart from that shave [...]
Car over rated
(Translated by Google) Reception at the counter on arrival execrable, be careful to return the car with a full tank because the option touted at the start of returning the car without a tank is very expensive
Thrifty car rental
(Translated by Google) Everything went well with both Authentik Canada and Thrifty.
Remember to take your GPS and child seat because the rental rates are prohibitive.
For information, child seats are not counted as baggage by airlines.
Very little explanation, unreachable assistance
(Translated by Google) Vehicle returned without explanation. Lots of time checking for scratches, none explaining how it works. Faulty pneumatic pressure indicators. A flat tire but absolutely impossible to reach the assistance despite a surplus paid. We were very annoyed with this the day before the return and absolutely no help (agency closed at 6:00 p.m., assistance does not answer after 3 calls and 35 minutes of waiting without contacting an agent)...

Very good performance
(Translated by Google) Carefree vehicle rental, we were upgraded and everything went very well;
vehicle versus vehicle model image.
(Translated by Google) Hello, when taking possession of the vehicle in Vancouver, the representative offered me a larger model vehicle (Ford Escape) for an additional charge. What I declined not needing this type of vehicle, on the other hand the vehicle which is identified on the photos of the Avis site for a compact does not represent what was provided to me. The car provided could only contain one suitcase and it was not a model with a trunk but with a tailgate, the representative told me that this type of car is intended for 5 people but we did not even have no space to put our luggage in the tailgate. I told the representative that it was misinformation to present things and say things that are unrealistic. [...]
Trip canada
(Translated by Google) Overall correct vehicle ... 40000km
Efficient rental, very efficient Authentik!
(Translated by Google) Our rental went very well, without incident. The car model suited our needs. Very well informed by Joannie our Authentik advisor, available and responsive to all our questions by e-mail.
Just perfect !
(Translated by Google) First of all, I would like to thank Marie-Chloé from AUTHENTIK for her professionalism and her kindness!
We had rented a car through Authentik in Toronto for 10 days, and left it at the Montreal airport.
Thrifty East staff were very considerate!
/>
Everything was done very simply, the car was in line with our expectations!
I have no downside to make, no bad surprise.
I highly recommend!

price supplements
(Translated by Google) be careful, the DISCOUNT rental company offers optional additional insurance because in the event of a claim, you must pay a deductible of $500. On the other hand, this rental company recommends returning the car with a full tank, contrary to what Authentik specifies in its information. The car rented was a Chevrolet Equinox.
Pleasant vehicle
(Translated by Google) Home of the renter well.
Received the vehicle fairly quickly.
Comfortable vehicle. Small problem during our stay with the front tire deflating.
I dropped off the vehicle in the evening alone and no one received it.
To date, I have not heard from my deposit and still do not know if everything is ok.
I was told that I was going to receive an email with the info but still nothing.

Very good choice
(Translated by Google) If you have a car rental to do in Canada they have very good prices and with good service. No surprises from one end to the other.
very pleasant
(Translated by Google) We finally had a Chevrolet impala and it was super very comfortable and with a lot of space a little greedy excellent choice????????????
Very satisfied with the service
(Translated by Google) The booking process is simple and the price reasonable. I booked a small car but the car was not available at that time so AVIS gave me a bigger car at the same price.
Simple and easy
(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome to the Avis agency. We received tips for getting around easily in Canada.
Finally satisfied with the upgrade
(Translated by Google) On our arrival, professional, fast and efficient welcome
As the Toyota RAV4 is not equipped with a GPS, the rental company offers 2 solutions:
- Rental of a GPS (24 CAD per day, quite expensive...)
- Upgrade to a Chrysler 300 with integrated GPS for the same price (instead of 42 CAD normally...)
The proposal seems interesting given the comfort and the significantly higher level of the vehicle
Pitfall... The vehicle is quite heavy and bulky, no Stop&Start system, and therefore high fuel consumption...
In total, 2600 km in an almost new vehicle (8000 km) and very comfortable.
And the rental company has rolled a vehicle that is more difficult to rent...

Easy travel in Alberta thanks to AVIS and Authentik Canada
(Translated by Google) My car rental went smoothly upon my arrival at the Calgary airport. We even had an "upgrade" on the rented car, at no additional cost, to a Chrysler 300, instead of the planned Hyundai Sonata. Much appreciated driving experience, even for an American car.
Vehicle category not available
(Translated by Google) I had reserved a 7-seater vehicle in order to have room for children (3 teenagers!) and luggage.
No vehicle of this category being available we had a smaller vehicle. The fifth place - the middle seat in the back seat - was not a real place and the children had to travel about 1500 km taking turns for this bad place, which partly ruined our first week.
Luckily there were only 5 of us...otherwise we just couldn't have left.
I am therefore very disappointed because I had booked and paid in advance for this category.

Change of vehicle
(Translated by Google) We booked a Toyota Highlander, finally got a Dodge Durango Rt, which was really great. Comfortable front and back. Very pleasant to drive. Clean on the surface, but when we folded the rear seats, there were bags of candy pistachio shells ..... Too bad!
good agency
(Translated by Google) The service is positive and the service is correct, less waiting to get a car than other AVIS, BUDGET etc. agencies at peak hours of plane arrivals.
perfect
(Translated by Google) missing a car free upgrade for a SANTA FE (consumption over 21 days of about 7.5l/100 for 4000 km), and for a road trip in Quebec essential many interesting places are without paved road so much more comfortable.
no problem with pick up and return
(don't forget to report any scratches on the pick-up paper (go around the vehicle) the return is easier)
Authentik simple excellent value for money

Good choice of vehicle
(Translated by Google) Address very badly indicate difficulty in finding the agency
Ok, but could do better
(Translated by Google) If you take the car as soon as you arrive, be sure to arrive before midnight, even if your plane is delayed! We had taken an evening flight, which unfortunately arrived 2.5 hours late, so all the rental offices were closed. Toronto airport is a real maze and the rental offices are far away! So we had to come back the next morning. Warning: the number provided by Authentik Canada is not the correct one. I tried to call all evening in vain, I found the right number the next morning, following an internet search thanks to the wifi of the accommodation.
On the plus side, we were offered an upgrade and a discount on dropping the car off in Montreal, which was much appreciated.
On the negative side, our reservation was not respected: we had to tell the counter clerk that we had already paid for certain options, he had forgotten the optional driver! In addition, we paid much more for the GPS than the rate advertised on the site (8 euros per day, ultimately 25 dollars!). Remember also that there are taxes!
However, we were very happy with the car, super comfortable, with a large trunk, and all in all, the rental did not cost us so much. She was worth it.

INADMISSIBLE: wrong location and security problem
(Translated by Google) 1/ The model received did not correspond at all to a Volkswagen Jetta
2/ The car was consuming a lot of oil. We had to add 4 liters!
We found ourselves on a Saturday without an open garage. We bought oil in a shop so as not to break down.
Unacceptable!
Good
(Translated by Google) We did not encounter any problem: difficult in this case not to be satisfied. However, we don't know how Thrifty reacts when something goes wrong.
Rather satisfied
Excellent performance...
(Translated by Google) Very dynamic and available staff, Andrea was able to answer all our questions and give us the best advice according to our needs. Thanks again for everything !!
