Island Rent A Car

Tip for fellow Americans, while you can rent a car in the US with only a debit card, you cannot rent a car in Canada with only a debit card. You have to have a credit card. Otherwise, if you’re lucky, you can rent a car here.
Located in a lot that fixes cars, sells cars and rents cars, Island Rent a Car can sketch a person out. If it weren’t for the BBB plaque on the wall, I probably would have taxi’d my way around. We rented «their nicest car.» It was an early 2000’s Buick Century complete with tape deck, scuffs all over, and a rear window that needed extra coaxing to go up. It wasn’t a new model car like other places would give you but it did the job.
Their lot is so full, they have to park their cars at little spots around Victoria. We were given a ride to a neighborhood to discreetly check our and pick up the car. It was most certainly less than professional.
In the end, we had a car that safely got us from point A to point B and that’s all that really counts.
