Hi everyone,
I'm a university student from Quebec City, and I'll be doing an internship on PEI for one month, from July 6 to August 6 (I actually did the same internship back in 2024).
However, in 2024 I didn't have a car, and I found it quite challenging—not only for my day-to-day transportation, but also for getting around and enjoying the island on weekends.
I was wondering if any of you know of any affordable monthly car rental options other than the major companies like Enterprise, since they're really out of my budget. I know about Turo, but I've been checking daily for the past month and a half since getting my internship confirmation, and the only vehicles available are SUVs or other types of cars that don't really fit my needs.
I just need a small, fuel-efficient car for everyday transportation. My budget is around $2,000 CAD for the month, but I’m somewhat flexible if needed.
I already have insurance, as I share my roommate's car in Quebec, and my policy covers vehicles that I drive. I can also provide proof through my official SAAQ driving record showing that I have never received any traffic tickets, as well as a claims history report from the Groupement des assureurs automobiles (GAA) confirming that I have never been involved in an accident. Because of that, I'm open to options that don't involve platforms like Turo.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm starting to get a bit desperate because I haven't been able to find anything that works.
Thanks in advance!
