Top tips for renting a car in Red Deer


Renting a car in Red Deer is your key to exploring everything this Alberta gem has to offer — from scenic hikes to road-trip-worthy prairies. Whether you’re picking up your ride at the airport or snagging it in the centre of town, follow these tips to make your rental car experience that's as smooth as maple syrup.


With Turo, you can skip the hassle of traditional car rental companies and lock in a great deal on a rental vehicle in Red Deer, all while keeping the average price lower than most big-box agencies, making Turo a great option for those who rent vehicles regularly.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Red Deer?


Alberta’s roads are well-kept, but don’t be fooled — winters here are no joke. If you’re visiting during the colder months, request winter tires ahead of time to make sure your rental vehicle is ready for icy conditions. Speed limits in town hover around 50 km/h, but highways bump up to 110 km/h. And yes, your driver’s license needs to be valid, whether it’s your home country driver’s license or an international driver’s permit.


What is parking like in Red Deer?


Parking in Red Deer won’t give you nightmares. Downtown has plenty of parking locations, including free spots and metered zones that won’t drain your wallet. At popular parks and attractions, like Bower Ponds, parking is usually free — but you might need to drop a few coins into a machine during busy seasons. If you’re heading out to a trail, double-check that your rental car is in great shape for gravel roads, and pack a map — cell service can be spotty in the wilderness.


Are there toll roads in Red Deer?


Good news — there are no toll roads in Red Deer. Whether you’re cruising downtown or venturing to the Rockies, you won’t need to dig through your glove box for loose change. That’s one less expense, so you can spend more on car rental deals or, you know, poutine.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Red Deer?


Red Deer is well-equipped for both petrol and electric vehicles. If you need to fill up, look for a Shell station at 140 Taylor Drive or an Esso at 5101 76A Street, both just off Gaetz Avenue.


If you’re rolling in an electric luxury sedan, you’ll find Level 2 chargers at Bower Place (4900 Molly Banister Drive) and at Red Deer College (100 College Boulevard), as well as a fast charger from FLO near Gasoline Alley East (37428 Range Rd 273). Always confirm your EV app for the latest updates on charger locations and availability.


Do I need to rent a car in Red Deer?


If you plan to stick around the city, walking and biking can get you to most places. But if you want to explore Alberta’s stunning landscapes — or avoid waiting on buses — then a rental car is a must. It’s perfect for visiting spots like Canyon Ski Resort, Sylvan Lake, and Banff without relying on service schedules.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.
