Cars at Halifax YHZ Nova Scotia

Loads of fully loaded (leather, moonroofs) cars, Fusion & Taurus as well as a number of different kinds of SUV's. I was really impressed.

I rent here at least once a month and couldn't agree more! In addition, the staff are fantastic.

Should it come as any surprise that one such staff member is an FTer?

Another great rental! 2012 Cadillac CTS with 58 kilometers on it and working Sirius/XM. It was the base RWD version with the 3.0L engine but still drove pretty nicely.

I think you mean 3.6L.

Are you kidding me, you got a brand new CTS on the regular ES? Please excuse me while I pull a Rumpelstiltskin.

JasYHZ, please transfer to DCA!

My mistake, didn't realize they had a 3.0L base engine.

Ha ha, remember guys, YHZ isn't an Aisle city and definitley NO Executive Selection. Proceed to the booth, introduce yourself and we'll let you know what's available. But I will admit - honey works better than vinegar.

I'll freely admit that I have a mental list of my favorite customers who can have whatever they want on the lot. Why? Because they are friendly, easy to deal with and don't come in with a sense of entitlement or play the DYKWIA card...I have no problem giving nice people nice cars.

And pat YHZ on the back - we just (for the third month in a row) scored #1 in North American non-aisle Emerald Club locations for customer service and "correct" Emerald transactions (low mileage and car size). Next time you're in YHZ introduce yourself to our Emerald Club Service Specialist - she's a tea-lover (medium Tim Horton's tea, 2 milk, 1/2 sugar, double cupped!). Ask for Lea Ann....

Picked up a charger with 4k km on it.

Considering that the best hertz had to offer was a 65k km Altima, I am quiet happy!

You wont be disapointed

My last rental was a fusion; not a huge upgrade from the midsize, but Sat radio is a must if you plan on leaving the HRM! And considering my rate was basicaly theft, I can live with it

JasYHZ - Bumping an extremely old thread here digging around the see what selections might be.. but have dealt with both Jason and Lea Ann every time we come home to YHZ. Are they still working the booth out there? Don't want to bring any cold tea our next trip through next week.. GC's would ensure they're hot.
