Renting a Car at Greater Sudbury Airport (YSB): Full Guide

Flying into Greater Sudbury Airport (YSB)? Picking up a rental on arrival is the most convenient option — but it usually isn't the cheapest. Here's how to do it right.

Which agencies are at YSB

Several major brands operate desks at or near the Greater Sudbury Airport, including Enterprise, Avis, Budget, National and Hertz. Availability is tighter than at big-city airports, so reserve your vehicle class before you fly — especially SUVs and vans.

The airport surcharge

Airport locations add a concession recovery fee (a percentage of the rental). On a multi-day booking that can add up. If you're being picked up or staying near the city first, a downtown or Kingsway-area pickup from the same brand can be noticeably cheaper for the identical car.

Tips for a smooth pickup

Bring the credit card the reservation is under, plus your driver's licence.
Reserve online in advance — walk-up rates at a small airport are the highest.
In winter, confirm winter tires/AWD when you book.
Inspect the car and photograph any existing damage before you leave the lot.
