Airport Car Rental
Formerly known as the Gateway to the North and now as the Portal to the World, Edmonton is northern Alberta’s largest city and Edmonton Airport is its main gateway. With more than a million people residing in its metro area, the city is lively and vibrant. It has great historic parks and opportunities to experience life outdoors.
The real draw of the city is that it is a gateway to Alberta as a whole. From it, you can easily reach the Rocky Mountains including Jasper National Park. It is also the beginning of the main route to the Northwest Territories. Noone of these places is possible to visit without a rental car, though.
Luckily, the airport is the perfect place to pick up a rental car. There are companies that are located at the airport and other, low-cost companies that are located a short shuttle ride away. This makes Edmonton Airport the perfect place to being a road trip through Alberta and the rest of northern Canada.

Services and facilities
There is a Renaissance Hotel on the grounds of the airport that is directly connected to the check-in area of the terminal. Other hotels at lower price points can be found a short drive away from the airport. Many of them offer free shuttle service, too.
The gates for U.S.-bound flights are separate from the rest of the terminal. The selection of facilities such as restaurants in this area is more limited. There is a duty-free shop on the way to the gates, though. There is also a currency exchange booth.
The airport has three lounges. One is an Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge. The others are Plaza Premium Lounges, one in the main part of the terminal and the other in the area of the US gates.
Nearest gas station
If you have a Costco membership, you can fill up at the Costco located right off of Airport Road just after you pass highway 2. As usual, Costco has lower prices for gas than nearby stations.

Currie Dinosaur Museum.
