UPDATE: After I have posted the review, the company management reached out and apologised for their employee's behaviour. They have also offered a small compensation which I accept with gratitude. While I still think this situation should have not happened in the first place, and I will unlikely try to rent from them again, it is clear that the management cares about their reputation, so I add 2 stars for their efforts to make things right. INITIAL REVIEW: Really not sure what all these reviews are raving about. I chose this company based on the reviews to rent a car for a weekend trip and I deeply regret it. After making a reservation online I haven’t heard from them for 5 days. Eventually, 2 days before my trip I decided to call to make sure I’d be able to pick up the car and a very rude guy told me they don’t know yet if they’ll have a car for me. Then he proceeded angrily lecturing me about the insurance. I told him several times that I understand their policy, it’s not a problem and asked not to raise his voice. That didn’t help, he kept going on and on repeating the same things on high tones, calling me ‘Ma’aaam’ even though I told him my name three times and he had it written in front of him on my reservation. He then started asking me where I was going and when I said it’s really my business and the trip will be within BC, he yelled that he needs to know where his car will be taken. What?? Never ever in any country in any of car rentals they ask you where you are taking the car if it’s within the state. I’m paying for the rental, for the km driven, no one needs to know my itinerary. Shockingly disrespectful customer service and unreliable company. If you are having a bad enough day to yell at your customers, maybe you should take a day off. Eventually I got an email later that day saying they don’t have the car I booked for when I needed it. Only wasted my time and nerves… Cannot recommend to anyone. Went with a different small company - simple online booking, kind stuff and no inappropriate questions asked.

I recently had the pleasure of renting a car from here, and I must say it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this car rental company to anyone in need of reliable and hassle-free transportation. From the moment I walked into their office, I was greeted with a warm welcome and exceptional customer service. The staff members were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that all my needs were met. They patiently answered all my questions, provided valuable recommendations, and made the entire process seamless. The vehicle I rented was in pristine condition and drove like a dream throughout my entire trip. The rental process itself was straightforward and efficient. The paperwork was handled swiftly, and the staff took the time to explain all the terms and conditions clearly, ensuring that I felt confident and informed. They also offered flexible rental options, allowing me to customize my rental duration to fit my travel plans precisely. Also, there were no hidden fees or surprises when I received the final bill. The rates were competitive, and the value for money was exceptional considering the quality of service and the well-maintained vehicles provided. Highly recommend them to anyone seeking a stress-free and reliable rental experience. I will definitely choose Independent Rent a Car for all my future car rental needs :)

WoW just wow! A first class service! I was so impressed by the dedication and the professionalism of mr Hussain ( beyond professionalism I will say!) He personally came to give us the car at the airport at 1AM and even took it back at the airport at the moment of our departure even though it was 5 in the morning. He kindly offers my kids some snacks because when we arrived there were no stores open. The whole time he accompanied us, he was cheerful and very friendly. He even gave us interesting spots to visit in Vancouver. If I could, I would give him 100 stars. We’re really glad we got to meet him after a really disappointing experience with another renting car company. And to add to everything he already did, the car he got us was in perfect state, large enough for the whole family, and he was able to find it for us in a short delay! Independent rental car has now become my first choice to rent a car for my next visits to Vancouver Thank you Hussain!

  • Sumudu Chathuranga

Just go for them !! I was looking for a car for a road trip to Whistler. Like many others, I was worried about the budget and quality of the car since I am a student and have less experience in driving in Vancouver. After the first call with Mr. Hussain, I felt like I was going to borrow a car from a friend. He was very helpful and gave me travel advice and tips to reduce the cost of my journey. The car was well-maintained and had new tires. The driving experience was great as it was after a long time since I drove a car. Their emergency contact number made my mind relax as I was worried about some issues during my trip since I don’t have friends to call. The service is great and value for money. I had the best experience like I was in my home country and driving my own car. I will plan my next trip soon with the Independent Rent A Car service.

I recently rented a car from independent rent A car and had an excellent experience. The staff were friendly, professional, and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed for my trip. The rental process was quick and easy, and the car was in great condition. I appreciated the variety of cars available to choose from, and the rental rates were very reasonable. The company's website was easy to navigate and allowed me to reserve my car ahead of time with no hassle. When I returned the car, the staff were just as friendly and efficient as they were when I picked it up. Overall, I highly recommend [company name] for anyone in need of a reliable rental car. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.

  • Patricia F

We had a great experience with Independent. I like to support local/small businesses. And I was not disappointed at all with Hussein customer service. I'm having family visiting from Brazil and I had reserved a car but because of Canada Day long weekend some people that had rented a car had issues to return from Victoria to Vancouver (that was our car). But Hussein called early in the morning to inform us and tried his best and beyond to get us one. And he did. I saw all the effort to solve the issue. We are renting again this weekend to go Joffre Lakes. I 100% recommend Independent Rent a Car, it's a personalized customer service! The car is really well maintained. Thank you !

  • Nicola B

Very impressed, They had a car last minute for us to go get groceries for the day in Bellingham, WA. Graciously, they extended our 24 hour rental by a few hours at no extra cost which was so nice. The car was the perfect size and came very clean. The only thing I was confused by was why it was a lot more expensive to rent, compared to Los Angeles CA and Austin TX (even with the conversion rate), But then again Vancouver itself is a complete scam to live here. We were not able to plug our cell phone to play music, so I had a sing songs very loudly to my boyfriend, but I think he enjoyed it. :D Thank you again! Very impressed.

  • Avril O'Reilly

I recently had a fantastic experience renting a car from Independent Rent A Car. They provided outstanding service from start to finish. They have a great choice of cars with a range of vehicles to meet every need, from compact cars to SUVs. The cars are impeccably maintained and in excellent condition. Making a reservation was effortless through their user-friendly online system. They have stellar customer service! The staff were all welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive. They addressed all my inquiries, making me feel valued and well-cared for as a customer. I highly recommend them.

  • akshit panwar

I reserved a car on line two months ago for an suv for two weeks and when I came to the office , I realized that I needed an suv with real winter tires to travel to Rockies. Hussain gave a brand new 2023 Nissan Pathfinder with real winter tires for the same price and included my buddy as a second driver at no extra cost . I came here looking at their reviews . Never disappointed and incredible customer service even though they are not cheapest. It’s worth the money . Life made easy and comfortable in this place . Highly recommended.

  • Mahbubul Haque

Independent car rental is the best car rental as I found. They keep commitment accoding to booking and they keep same price. Their customer service was very good and Mr. Rizvi Hussain is very good person and his communication was perfect time to time. They provided very good Suv Nishan Rough in 2019 model. Car was clean and updated servicing in all respect, looks like new Suv and only 30,000 Km. we are very happy to drive 4 days without any problems. We wish their future business successfully to be done.

  • Tin Naing

Booked the car from Singapore, arrived and had no issues in renting the car, terms and conditions exactly what I agreed before my arrival , very impressed with their quality of service and absolutely reasonable pricing . Hussain completely took care of everything and made my trip easy and very comfortable stay in Vancouver. He is a super classy gentleman in every way .I highly recommend this place and planning to come in January next year to this same place . Thank you for honest service .

  • zachary haugen

I was in Vancouver trying to get to independent car rental before they closed. I took an Uber to the location and they dropped me off in the wrong place and the car rental was about to close . I called independent and told them my situation . They went out of their way and personally came and picked me up so I could get a car before they closed . I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a car rental in Vancouver . The best service I’ve had from a rental place .

  • CHUMKI CHAKRABORTY

Last week rented car from independent rent a car, Vancouver for whistler visit and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Owner Hussain made us feel welcome and genuinely cared for through the entire process, since renting to returning the vehicle. He was extremely flexible when I requested for a last minute date swap of my rental due to bad weather without any additional added cost. I would highly recommend this car rental agency to anyone visiting Vancouver and needing a rental.

  • Hazem Sultan

Best car rental business in Vancouver! Hussain, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with, very responsive & ensured we were happy with our rental car! They have a wide selection of great & newer vehicles to choose from which is always nice to have. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Independent Rent A Car to anyone looking for car rental at a great rates & superb customer service (which is extremely rare in the car rental business)!

  • Jack Harley

Affordable and easy to book car rental, grabbed a full size sedan(got a brand new Camry) for a day trip to Whistler, they were cheaper than any alternative and located right next to our hotel on Robson St. Both guys I interacted with were amazing and very willing to help with everything. Can drop the car off after hours as well to avoid paying for overnight parking. Would recommend to anyone considering a rental from downtown!

  • Maor Frankel

Very simple start to finish. Booked last-minute online, busy season, they still had an SUV for us with the required winter tires. Hussein took good care of us, very friendly and personable. Went even further, explaining features of my credit card that I wasn't even aware of - very helpful. Very flexible with vehicle return times. Costs were exactly what they were supposed to be, no hidden fees etc. Great experience altogether.

  • Akash Patel

Adam and his business are incredible!! I needed a car rental for one day in Vancouver and he was incredibly attentive and flexible with our needs. He gave us a great 2020 Corolla that was perfect for our drive to Garibaldi. Adam listened to what we needed and accommodated us very well. He was also kind enough to be flexible with our drop off time so that we could enjoy our hike. Please consider renting from here.

  • Nidhi Gandhi

Independent car rental is the perfect place for the people who are pick-up with their budget for renting up the car. I rented the car from them at a very generous rate and they offered me even the best in class service. Even the gentleman Rizvi who sits at the front desk was such a nice person. He guided and assist me with all this thorough knowledge and helped me to have my holidays at a comfortable pace.

  • Armina Khayat Derafshi

Me and my husband rented a car for a day, despite the other car rentals they were so supportive and so kind to us! We wanted to take the road test with the car and they were the true meaning of being supportive, even they were giving us tips to pass the exam! I wanted to say thank you Mr. Hossein and thank you Mr.Narish . Definitely we’ll be back! You made car renting experience super comfortable.

  • Nuttida Yerkngern (Lilly)

Me and my family rented 2023 Toyota Camry from here for our 5-day road trip, and we were extremely impressed with the service provided. He was very friendly and patient while giving us suggestions of the car and even general travel questions we had. The car was so new and clean, and we had no issue driving through out our trip. Highly recommend. Definitely go back and rent from them again!

  • Ozzy Tekin

We had a great experience! Very good price and quality value. Very well functioning & squeaky clean car. Both persons we interacted were amazingly friendly and helpful. They were also extremely efficient. On our way to drop off the car, there was traffic so we arrived a little late but they were quite understanding as we had informed them of the situation beforehand. Highly recommended!

  • Sharmaine Alibanban

booked an economy size suv three months in advance through their website. They upgraded me for a brand new Denali and it worked very well my road trip . The prices were very reasonable. They hold 1000.00 as pre authorization or damage deposit which was ok with me . It was cancelled immediately after checking inn the suv . Every thing went super smooth. Thank you Naresh .

We had a fantastic time! Excellent value for the money and price. Clean and very well-functioning vehicle. Our interactions with both people were incredibly warm and supportive. They were also incredibly effective. We arrived a little late because of traffic on the way to return the car, but they were understanding because we had told them in advance. Strongly advised!

  • Hana A

Hussain was incredibly friendly and great to work with. We needed an SUV with snow tires to take up to Whistler and they understood exactly what we were looking for. Both Hussain and his colleague (unfortunately didn't catch his name!) were easy to contact, polite and conscientious. Great car and really great price, would recommend and would rent a car from them again.

Excellent service at an unbeatable price! We really appreciate how easy, flexible and hassle-free it was to rent a car from here.

We're visiting Vancouver for the first time and truly appreciate the ease of this rental experience.

  • Dustin Scheer

I searched for many car rental companies and this was the second cheapest one I found. The other was rated 3.2 stars and the last 10 reviews were 1 star. I went with theses guys.

  • Jessica Doering

10/5 stars for the service. I decided to rent a car at short notice and also spontaneously took a few days more... Supun has made everything uncomplicated and fast possible!

  • jay schneider

Very helpful staff and we had a great experience. We made a last minute rental because another rental company failed us. They were polite, efficient and went the extra mile for us. The car was in great condition too, and car return late at night was great because we just needed to drop the keys off at the hotel. Highly recommended.

Extremely helpful and courteous staff. Cars are new and clean and the check in and drop off process is extremely easy. Prices are fair with no hidden charges.

We rent a SUV for 5 days and the car was only one month old. Clean, great price, and very professional. The full of fuel at check-in/check-out is really convenient. They are answering to any question by mail and message really fast. I really recommend them ! I will definitely use their service for next times.

Excellent customer service! A really good deal on the car and didn’t charge us for being 10 minutes late bringing the car back and for missing a small bar of petrol (we got very confused at the petrol station!). Such lovely workers who are very personable and understanding :) 100% recommend! No hidden fees!

  • Evie Helps

Trustworthy company. Hussain was extremely helpful. He helped me get a discounted rate for a longer rental, assisted me greatly through everything and then drove me to the airport for no charge at the end of my trip when I had been delayed by traffic. Happy to support a small business. They are good people.

Great company, guys were really understanding about coming late and not having all the gas full they covered it and didn't charge us the 59 bucks to full!!! So nice and gave us discount and upgrade for next time!!

Great rental experience. Required a car for a weekend trip to Whistler. Booked online, super easy and ready to go when I hit the office. Great customer service and will definitely be renting from them again.

The blue sentra I drove was clean and brand new, they helped my family and I quickly and seamlessly. I let my friends know that this was the place to rent a car if they were ever in town. Thank you so much!

I had a great time meeting Hussein. They were very accommodating and gave me a free upgrade! I highly recommend them if you are visiting vancouver for a short or long visit. Great prices and great service!

Mr. Hussain always offered a generous discount. We got the car a bit earlier than our booking time which helped us plan our trip better.This is the second time we rent the car here!!Would surely recommend.

They have helped me twice in Vancouver. I believe is the best prices in the area and the vehicles are in great condition. A very simple and easy process, and my deposit was released in less than 48 hours.

Had an amazing experience renting a car from here. Mr. Hussein was very kind and helpful. He gave us a very good discount for a car with winter tyres. This is definitely my go-to car rental service now.

Great rental car company, very friendly team and trustworthy. They kindly offered to drop us to the airport on our return to the depot. We would use this company again on our return to Vancouver.
