We landed in Calgary, AB and had to drive to Jasper, AB, getting on a train to Vancouver, BC three and a half days later. The rate for the car that was a one-way rental was almost $150/day! The rate for a car rented and returned to Jasper was $55/day. I rented the Calgary-Jasper car for 24 hours, with a new rental starting at the same time on day 2 in Jasper that I returned the first car. I cut the rental bill from about $520 to $290 when the taxes, fees, etc were removed. While this fee cannot be avoided sometimes, here’s a way I minimized it on a recent trip.
