Enterprise, Alamo and Thrifty are some of the best-known providers in the city. They're a smart place to start comparing offers.
Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Saskatoon car hire policy, whether with Enterprise or any other supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.
Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can score some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Saskatoon.
Cut down on fuel costs by choosing a vehicle that has a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up your ride with a full tank and return it full, so you're only paying for what you use.
Want to explore more without stressing about how many miles you clock up? Find homes with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and drive as far as you like without the extra fees.

Good to know
Age requirements for homes can vary by company and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Canada may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Saskatoon car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Requirements change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest way to travel.
You'll have to provide some documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring your physical driver's license, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
If you've never driven in Canada, don't forget that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Canada is 0.08%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the Canadian dollar (CAD) for everything you buy on your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cards and cash so you always have a backup option.
