Practicar Car & Truck Rental/ Rent-A-Wreck

Have come to know the owner. He is very accommodating and helpful. It is a 20 dollar ride from the airport to this off site lot but because I get there after business hours it makes it worth it. The other on site airport rental places are closed. It is rent a wreck but have had no issues at all yet. Will continue to use as I respect a business ess that goes out of it's way to help, and answers emails nd texts promptly

Looking forward to renting with Practicar again. Great prices and great service! Thank you.

Nobody rent a car for this guys. I rent a car to go to whistler and had 3 diferente problems during the whole trip. The don't rent good cars for the costumers. Completely don't recommend this place at all.

We rented a smart car from this business. The car rental was the cheapest we could find in Vancouver. I was in touch with Linda (one of the owners I think) over the phone and via email prior to arriving. Linda was prompt with replies and easy to get a hold of. However I was glad I spent so much time double checking all of the terms and conditions because there are errors on their website. In addition, I made sure to get everything Linda said over the phone in writing because when we arrived to pick up the car and pay Linda tried to make us pay the price for being an underage driver of $8 per day even though she quoted us $5 per day. We also wrote down the cheaper price for extra kilometres that Linda quoted us over the phone (10c per km after we crossed 3000km instead of 15c) which was also forgotten on arrival. Furthermore we rented the car for 28 days yet Linda incorrectly charged us the young driver fee for 29 days and when we argued this point she said that ‘the computer does it’. We had no issues with the car that we hired. When we dropped it off we took pictures of the condition of the car with one of us in the picture which proved as useful evidence because two weeks later we received an email from Linda saying that we received a red light fine during our time renting the car and that she had taken $200 from our credit card. We knew immediately that there was a mistake as we were not in Vancouver on the date that the car made the red light violation. We checked our details and realised that the number plate from the car in the picture we had taken was different to the one on our rental agreement. This meant that Linda had mixed up our number plate with another customer who had rented the same car model from their company. Linda was difficult to convince over the phone, and only accepted the fault was hers when we sent her the picture of the car that we took with one of us in it. When Linda put back the money on our credit card we lost $5 in the international conversion even though it was her mistake. Over all, the car was probably more affordable than other companies. However this positive comes with many issues that we faced with the owners. Our advice, be careful and document everything that they tell you!

Overall, a good experience. Can't beat the rates, and they will rent to you when others won't. So If you find yourself turned down by the Hertz and Budget's of the world, these guys won't. Yes the cars are older than what the other rental agencies have, generally...but not exclusively. But the vehicles are well maintained. I've rented from them a few times now and never had an issue. I would definitely recommend them.
