Yellowknife Airport Car Rentals
Car Rentals
If passengers rented a car, the first thing they need to do is go to the rental booth of the company they made the booking with (Budget, National, etc.). Counters are very easy to find. If commuters walk in the doors off of the tarmac from the plane and keep going straight towards the exit door of the terminal building, the rental car booths are conveniently located just to the right of that door.
Budget
The budget counter can be found inside the airport terminal near the baggage claim area. All the cars are parked outside the building within walking distance.
Commuters can follow signs when returning a vehicle. The car can be parked in any Budget space and keys, as well as the contract, returned to the rental desk for check-in.
After-hours return is available at the agency. After parking and locking a car, the completed contract and the keys should be placed in the key dropbox.
