When considering car hire in Banff, you should definitely have a good all-terrain vehicle in mind. Although the roads are quite well maintained, Banff is in a natural park in the Canadian Rockies, so your vehicle should be appropriate for the terrain and weather. In winter, snow tyres are required by law.
The current speed limit inside the town of Banff is 40 km/h. In the national park area, the limit is 90 km/h on major roads and 60 km/h on minor roads; this is to protect wildlife and also to guard motorists against any hazards or dangers that may arise due to falling rocks, ice or other similar problems.
As Banff is a fairly small town, on-street parking is generally available and free of charge in residential areas; however, time limits are sign posted and strictly enforced, so be careful not to overstay if you want to avoid a fine. In addition to on-street parking, there are also off-street car parks available, with time limits ranging from 1-12h. Free 9h parking is available at the train station to all residents and visitors to Banff. As of June 2021, Banff is operating a Visitor Pay Parking system throughout the entire downtown area, designed to free up parking spaces in the city centre. The easiest way to register and pay for parking is through the Banff parking mobile app or through the pay stations installed in the relevant streets and car parks in the downtown area.
The average price of fuel in Banff is ₹ 451 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a petrol tank costs between ₹ 5,409 and ₹ 7,212, depending on the car size.
Intermediate (Hyundai Elantra or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Banff.

You can add a co-driver to your Banff car hire agreement, but this option has additional restrictions and surcharges. The additional driver should meet the exact car hire requirements as the primary driver, including the driving licence and age terms. You may incur a daily surcharge for each additional driver, which is something to consider if you want cheap car hire in Banff.
Besides credit cards, most car hire companies in Banff accept other payment methods, especially debit cards. Hiring a car with a debit card tends to come with additional requirements, like credit checks, money holds and proof of insurance. Some companies accept prepaid cards, while cash is generally not accepted.

Well I haven't seen anybody I just dropped the car. The office was closed, but the cariboo lodge reception was open.Cons:
The underground car park is a bit narrow. It's difficult to park, therefore it's quite scary with a rental car.9.6 Wonderful

8.8 Very Good
Sep 2019
Pros:
It took a while to get used to the car's buttons but it was a very good and clean car. The second person I spoke to who brought the car keys to the railroad station was very helpful and clear on return instructions. The return went very smoothly.Cons:
The 1st person I spoke to on ten (10) calls repeatedly gave me wrong directions for RR station pickup. I said repeatedly that I had was having trouble with phone reception but he kept saying "Call me when you get there." Also they didn't answer phones between 11:30am & 1pm on pick up or return days.7.2 Good

Oct 2016
Pros:
Good car and value for moneyCons:
I arranged to collect the car at 9am, at 8:59 the Banff Avis office called me unfortunately I missed the call as I was on the way to the office to collect the car. When I arrived the customer agent advised there were no cars available until 11am. I advised her I had booked the car for 9am however the agent advised she called me to change the time at 8:3am. When I checked my phone the call was missed at 8:59, 1 minute before collection. This took 2 hours of our car driving through Banff National Park and we couldn't do this when it had got dark after 6pm.5.6 Fair

6.0 Okay
Mar 2019
Cons:
Price too high. I had previously booked car from Banff to Calgary Airport for much less.3.6 Poor
Sep 2017
Pros:
Price beat the competition.Cons:
The full size I reserved due to hip replacement was not available so they shoehorned me into a low slung Mustang. The pickup location is in a mall with no street number on the building nor marquee placard outside...hard to find. I trusted the agent to point out the dings/damage to the dirty car and he overlooked the chip in the windshield...though when I found him after 20 minutes upon return he verbally agreed it had been present at pickup.7.6 Good
Jun 2017
Pros:
i got an upgrade on the car when I arrivedCons:
Their credit card machine was down... so they took an imprint of my card, left my yellow carbon copy in the car and when i called to make sure they destroyed it, no one answered, have yet to get a call back. Also left a small gift from a local giftshop in the back (just a magnet, touristy stuff, and have yet to hear back from the rental car place)... did not have enough people working for such a touristy place.2 locations in Banff
