Book Cheap Car Rentals in Calgary

You’re ready to head north and cause a Canadian-sized stir in Calgary. This city had its roots in the wild, wild west, so you aren’t about to go mild with your getaway.

You have your car rental in Calgary, Canada as your pioneering guide, and you’re ready to rodeo all over Cow Town. Don’t let the roads get (Canadian) Rockies—gas up your “eh”-tinerary with these Canuck-approved stops for your growing gotta-do-it-in-Calgary list.

Hop in Your Rental Car-gary and Go

Park Sided: Going green in Calgary is easy with unique and lush parks all over the city. Prince’s Island Park is 50 acres of sprawling grass to picnic, hang, and maybe even catch a festival or Shakespeare in the Park if you’re into it. And if you’re looking to grab a bite, River Café and Eau Claire Market are nearby. Want to kick it old school? Head to Heritage Park Historical Village and take a walking tour of Western Canada’s past—including wagon and steam engine train rides. And while Calgary Zoo isn’t technically a park, it is one of the top outdoor attractions in town, housing almost 1,000 different animals to go wild over.

There’s Snow Way: If you’re planning your Canadian getaway during the summer, you could take in festivals like Calgary Stampede and Calgary Folk Festival, but if you’re visiting in the winter, you’ve got to have some fun with your snow days. And Calgary is the perfect place for it. The city hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics, and the wintery action has kept going ever since at WinSport, where you can ski, snowboard, and even try your hand at bobsledding. If that’s a little too extreme for your cool tastes, Calgary also has plenty of spots to get iced out by skating or catching a Flames hockey game. Brrrrr-ing it.

Take a D-“eh?” Trip: Having a rental car in Calgary means you can take in Western Canada to its fullest. A little over an hour away is Banff, a sweet mountain town that boasts hot springs, gondola rides, and a national park with waterfalls and ice walk tours. If you keep on trucking another hour, you’ll hit Lake Louise, where you’ll feel like you’re far from city life, surrounded by mountains and deep emerald lakes. Go canoeing or get fancy and go for spa treatments with lakeside views at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

Doin’ It For the ‘Gram: Having the time of your life in the Great White North is all well and good, but you’ve got to document the fun. And with IG-worthy spots all around Calgary, it’s not hard to fill up your camera roll. The Calgary Peace Bridge’s red color and scenic backdrop make it a popular selfie spot. And the people-watching is pretty great, too. Downtown, you’ll find Wonderland, a huge, metal head-shaped sculpture you can walk through. And Central Library has abstract architecture and plenty of exposed wood to give you a perfect photo opp for your inner travel blogger.
