Renting a Car at Fredericton International Airport

Car Rental Facilities

Several car rental companies operate at Fredericton International Airport, offering you a broad range of vehicle options to suit your requirements – from compact cars for solo travellers, spacious SUVs for families, to luxury vehicles for that extra comfort. Ensure you carry your valid UK driving license, along with an International Driving Permit where necessary.

Fuelling Up

Near the airport, you'll find a handful of petrol stations. Remember, in Canada, petrol prices are listed in Canadian dollars per litre, a major difference from how it's listed in the UK per gallon.
