Very satisfied with the rental
(Translated by Google) Trip went well. Car as requested.
Disappointed with Avis, not Authentik
(Translated by Google) Hello,
My experience with Authentik was very good, but I am really disappointed with the car rental company Avis. Indeed, when picking up the vehicle, I was given the keys and had to do the vehicle inspection myself without being accompanied by a staff member. The result: a vehicle scratched everywhere and a tire with a bulge ready to explode within the first few kilometers (How can you endanger the lives of customers when you claim to be a professional car rental company?). I therefore decided to return the keys and request another vehicle. The agency gave me another vehicle in seemingly better condition, but after leaving the airport with the vehicle, the dashboard indicated a loss of pressure in the right rear tire!
I therefore went to the garage and the diagnosis was quickly established: 2 nails embedded in the tire and 2 missing valve caps!!! This cost me $66 CAD for a vehicle supposedly in good condition from the moment of pickup.
If you're interested, I can send you the photos.
In short, I am terribly disappointed with the lack of professionalism of the rental company Avis (and I'm not even talking about returning the vehicle where we are asked to drop it off without an inspection).

Very nice trip
Thank you Authentik Canada for my car rental with AVIS
(Translated by Google) I am French and I booked a large SUV through Authentik for a 25-day trip in Ontario and Quebec. Nothing to complain about with the Hyundai Palisade vehicle and no problems with it during our stay. However, AVIS cultivates ambiguity on its invoices; the content of each line is totally incomprehensible, the amounts shown between pickup, return, and final invoice are different, and the employee present at return was unable to provide any explanation for the extra cost charged, even though I had not accepted any extras. As for pickup, no employee is provided to show you the vehicle. I had to insist a lot for the parking attendant to agree to come for 2 minutes to answer a few questions about various settings, GPS use, phone connection, fuel to use... I contacted Authentik upon my return to dispute the extra cost and in less than 48 hours AVIS made a transfer to my account without any explanation email. So a big thank you to Authentik, but I was disappointed by AVIS's lack of transparency. [...]
Very accessible
very beautiful trip
Excellent Dollar agency at Toronto airport and Quebec City center
(Translated by Google) Everything went very well when we picked up our vehicle at Dollar at Toronto airport, a very pleasant person who explained the procedures to us very well. Not too long to wait. And when we returned the car, everything went well too, very friendly person. I recommend these two agencies. And above all, a big thank you to Véronique Blanchette, our Authentik Canada advisor, who supported us very well with our vehicle rental. I highly recommend Authentik Canada and also the Dollar agency. [...]
Traveling with Authentik
(Translated by Google) Excellent company for car rental. It was impossible for me to book a one-way trip with rental companies. Fast, efficient, and simple pretty much sums up my experience. Regarding Avis Calgary, I am not satisfied. Thank you!
Very satisfied. The rental went very smoothly upon arrival.
Ease and reliability
(Translated by Google) We were very satisfied with our car rental. However, I didn't have the company name in my documents or in the app, which bothered us a bit when trying to find the correct line at the airport. Otherwise, the pick-up and the car provided were very satisfactory!
Vehicle rental for a road trip in the Maritimes
(Translated by Google) I recommend Authentik Canada 100%. Our contact person - Alyssa - was always responsive in answering my questions and provided good advice. The vehicle we rented was almost new, perfectly suited for our stay, and at a better price than going directly through a rental company.
Perfect!
(Translated by Google) Our car rental went smoothly. The vehicle perfectly met our expectations. The pickup went very well and the drop-off was extremely simple and quick.
Car rental for 3 weeks or 3700 km
(Translated by Google) I rented a car (only): I know the rental companies in Quebec well: always the same thing: attempt to make you spend more when you show up at the counter: change the car model to spend more... increase the insurance premium and (new): buy gas at a fixed rate upon return (rate fixed at the start). NON NO AND NO: With Authentik Canada: everything is simple and perfect! You have to refuse these proposals from the rental company... Insurance is okay, with Authentik Canada... you only pay for the gas you use at the pump AND. The proposal to get a better car by paying a supplement: they no longer have low-price cars: so you will get an "upgrade" without additional cost. Long live Authentik Canada who protects our wallet! [...]
GPS
(Translated by Google) Car not available with mandatory GPS to take another vehicle with a $600 CAD surcharge. In total nearly $2000 CAD for 15 days rental.
Quebec 2026
(Translated by Google) Quick and easy car pick-up and drop-off, which is very pleasant and allows you to focus on the trip itself.
Perfect service
Great trip through Acadia and Nova Scotia
(Translated by Google) Authentik's advice was invaluable when picking up the car at Avis. Furthermore, the "Authentik advisor" communicated regularly before our departure and in our language, French.
Vehicle delivered exceeding expectations
(Translated by Google) However, even though I refused all additional protections except for a full tank of gas upon return, an additional insurance was charged to me, and I only became aware of it upon return because no price or details are displayed when signing the rental agreement. The process is opaque when signing on the screen at the counter. A discount was applied after discussion upon return. [...]

(Translated by Google) Car with all amenities, THANK YOU
Overall satisfied
(Translated by Google) I was very well supported by Virginie from Authentic Canada, who answered all my questions. Regarding DOLLAR, the wait at the airport agency can be significant because the counter handles several vehicle brands. Mike took care of us, and despite two vehicle changes before he gave us the keys, everything went well during the pickup. We were supposed to get a Toyota RAV4 and we got a Volkswagen TAOS, which was just as good, or perhaps even better. No issues during the rental, but be careful with road conditions in some places. With freezing and thawing, in some areas it's catastrophic, hence the usefulness of renting an SUV in Quebec.
Upon returning the rental, it's a bit less clear because you simply hand the keys to an agent without a report. I had to contact DOLLAR again to confirm the vehicle return and to know if everything was OK.
If I were to return to Quebec, I would use Authentic Canada again.

Wonderful vacation in Quebec
(Translated by Google) From Montreal to Mont-Tremblant, Quebec City or Tadoussac, we loved everything. Very beautiful, very flowery cities; activities to do everywhere, especially with children. Very present nature and superb views. Special mentions to Mont Royal Park, the Biodome, the Botanical Garden, the summer luge in Mont-Tremblant, the Museum of Civilization, and the whales and dunes of Tadoussac. Quebecers are generally welcoming and friendly. [...]
Perfect for our car rental
(Translated by Google) We went through Authentik Canada to book our car for our trip to Canada and we are completely satisfied! We had a question during our stay about car rental and received an answer within minutes of our email. A big thank you for their speed and availability!
Good salespeople
(Translated by Google) Pick up Quebec with difficulty, the agency is at the Hilton to specify, return to the Montreal hotel excellent
Beautiful, recent, and spacious car
(Translated by Google) The rental went well overall. Unfortunately, we don't speak English well enough and in Toronto, they added options we didn't want. We didn't understand despite the translators. It's a shame.
Contract honored with a better price
(Translated by Google) Very good experience. I got the car I booked but it's not Authentic's fault. (Car crashed just before pick-up)
Bad service
(Translated by Google) Upon pickup, confusion about the second driver, inability to make changes to the reservation, no manager on site to accommodate us, we left a message on Authetik's voicemail and received no call back.
Perfect
Car rental
(Translated by Google) Everything went well. We were supposed to get a Corolla and we ended up with an Elantra.
Best value for money
(Translated by Google) Exceptional Authentic Canada, super easy and fast online booking, very competitive price, very clear advice on which insurances to take or those not really necessary. Regular follow-up. Truly perfect.
Authentik found a great rate, AVIS Calgary Airport gave a great car!
(Translated by Google) Authentik is simple to deal with, and found a great rate on our rental car at AVIS Calgary Airport. If you become an AVIS Preferred member, picking up the car is easy, and the car given itself was clean, well-maintained and a pleasure to drive. My only recommendation is if Authentik could also provide the confirmation / reservation # from the car rental company itself for reference. Thank you AVIS and Authentik for making our car rental experience a great one! [...]
