How to get the best car hire deal in Gander Airport

Here's everything you need to know to hit the road happy after you've touched down in Gander Airport. 

How to find a cheap car hire deal in Gander International Airport (YQX)

  • Whether you need a compact for zipping through the city streets or bigger wheels for bigger plans, we'll help you find a cheap Gander International Airport rental car. Choose from options averaging R 2,952 a day and travel your way for less.

  • November is the cheapest month to rent a car in YQX. With average daily rates of R 896, you're geared up for serious savings.

  • Here's the secret to booking at the right time. Three weeks in advance gives you better odds at securing a cheap YQX rental car.

  • At Gander International Airport, you can grab your ride from trusted providers such as Budget, National and Enterprise.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Gander International Airport car hire policy, whether with Budget or any other supplier. Some companies treat it as an optional extra instead of bundling it in.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Simply select 'Return car to a different location' when looking for a car for rent in YQX. Providers sometimes have to move vehicles between branches, which means you can lock in some awesome one-way prices.

  • Cut down on fuel costs by picking a car hire in Gander International Airport that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up your vehicle with a full tank and bring it back full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Hit the road without watching the miles and racking up extra fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and click 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you go the distance.

  • With a YQX car hire, you're in control when it comes to where you go. If central Gander is your first port of call, it's around 3 kilometres north-west of the airport and a drive of roughly 5 minutes.

  • Don't need a set of wheels right away? Consider grabbing a car hire in Gander instead of at the airport. That way, you won't pay for days you don't use.

  • From navigation systems to reverse cameras, the right extras can seriously upgrade your ride. Consider which add-ons could enhance your trip when you rent a car in Gander International Airport.

Good to know

  • Age requirements vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Canada may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
