GSA Auto Rentals Ltd

We recommend this auto rental company hands down! We had to change our original travel plans and Terry was very accommodating. We drove a Ford Fusion which was clean, excellent driving condition, and very affordable. The service team had Jim helping us get set up and on our way quickly to enjoy our time on the island. We were able to travel comfortably in this vehicle which wasn’t brand new but was in a well maintained condition. Thanks Terry and Jim, we will definitely book with you again when in the area. We’ve recommended you to family and friends already!

I recently had the pleasure of renting a Ford Fusion from Terry, and I must say it was an excellent experience.
I reserved a car by email only one night before. Terry was super fast answering my request even after business hours.
Despite the car being older, it was in remarkable condition, making driving it an absolute pleasure.

What truly stood out for me was the flexibility in payment options. I was specifically looking for a rental place that didn't require a credit card, and I was thrilled to find one that accepted debit payments. This alone made my experience stress-free.

Moreover, there were no hidden fees or deposits required, which is a stark contrast to some other rental places that demand large deposits and hold onto them for weeks. Terry's rental service, on the other hand, operates with transparency and fairness.

In addition to their hassle-free payment policy, the affordability of their rental rates was another plus point. I genuinely believe this is the best rental place in the area, not only for the great condition of their vehicles but also for their customer-friendly approach.

I wholeheartedly recommend Terry's car rental service to anyone seeking a dependable, affordable, and hassle-free rental experience near Victoria Airport. It's a gem of a find!

Terry gave me a great deal on a midsized for 3 days, when my first car had battery issues, he was able to replace it within an hour and I went on my way. Left my VISA and I was able to pay with Debit at the shop. Would highly recommend if your visiting the island and can't or don't want to rent from the airport which can be tedious and have long long lines.

This is the best car rental company on the island.....period. Terry was super personable and accommodating, and he takes pride in his company.
He gave us the car he was driving because after telling him we had a kid with us, he wanted to make sure we had enough room in the car. Good luck finding that level of empathy and customer service anywhere else.
Pick up and return were smooth.
The cars here are perfectly sound. It served us very well.
We would 100% rent from Terry again.

An excellent alternative to airport rentals in Victoria. Pick-up and drop-off at the airport without having to pay the exhorbitant airport tax. The vehicles are older and well-maintained (mine was).

Terry at GSA Auto Rentals was great to deal with from start to finish. The Honda Accord I rented was awesome to drive around in. Terry really went above and beyond by getting me into a vehicle at a great rate for the week. Anytime I'm on the island Terry is my first choice. 5 stars definitely recommend.

We rented a car for a week on the island of Vancouver. Renting with GSA Auto Rentals was extremely convenient. Good prices, very friendly service, top shape cars. The service provided was warm and courteous, and Terry went out of his way to wait for our late flight arrival. Everything was exactly as I'd hoped it would be, really took the stress out of the car rental part of my trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this business for anyone seeking to rent a car on the island, and the next time I come back to visit, I will definitely be renting from here again.

I had a fantastic experience with GSA Auto Rentals Ltd. and Terry. I called, on short notice, needing a very specific car to help a loved one to and from surgery. Terry made sure we were accommodated in a clean, perfect vehicle for what it needed to do (it was also warmed as I was picking it up on a sub-zero windy day!). It was easy in, easy out and fit the bill well.
As I travel back and forth, I am no doubt going to give GSA a call for when my family needs another rental.

I just returned from a wonderful holiday on Vancouver Island and I rented a car from GSA Car Rentals for the trip. GSA rents older cars in very good condition and charges hundreds less than their competition. I was worried that this deal was too good to be true so was really pleased to get a Honda Civic from GSA which was comfortable, reliable and gave us great gas mileage at a time when gas prices were high. We had no problems with the car what-so-ever and enjoyed dealing with the owner Terry. He was fast and efficient to deal with, very personable and professional, easy to get ahold of and he has a great sense of humour. I would rent a car from him again in a second.

Highly recommend this company. We rented a car from them for a week in the gulf islands.
The car was great. Clean, comfortable, ran well, and cost much less than any other companies' rental offerings.
The best part of the rental was Terry, who was exceptionally helpful and went out of his way to make the trip a success for us.
Of the many car rental experiences we have had in Canada and the rest of the world, this was by far the best.

I would highly recommend GSA Auto rentals to anyone living or visiting Vancouver island.
Terry was extremely easy to deal with and booking was a breeze. The car was clean and well kept. Pick up and return of the vehicle was also very easy.
Will be renting from Terry every visit from now on!

I just returned home from a vacation on the island where I rented a vehicle from GSA. I purposely looked to rent from GSA to support small businesses and I’ve got to say that Terry was one of the most kind-hearted and considerate people I have ever met. I truly appreciate how he accommodated my family and I with a reliable and affordable vehicle. I am so glad I rented from GSA, thank you Terry - you are awesome!

Terry and GSA were an absolute live-saver for me! Had booked a very special mother-daughter road trip vacation through Vancouver Island, and, because of a technical anomaly, we were dropped from our mainstream rental car company, and no other national brand would rent us a car. We were literally going to lose deposits on all the hotels we had booked around the island, and would have had a very sorry vacation huddled down near the airport. It was potentially devastating. And then someone suggested we call Terry and GSA. Terry could not have been more kind and understanding when we called him. In a brief phone call, he saved our vacation. Terry came to pick us up at the airport, arranged all the rental paperwork easily, gave us a great vehicle at a great value, and our trip turned from a disaster into a perfect holiday in the space of about half an hour. We loved the car we rented, it had fabulous gas mileage (got an entire four day road trip in on less than ¾ a tank of gas), handled easily…just an all-around wonderful trip, thanks to Terry. I hadn’t considered GSA because I thought I’d need the convenience of an airport rental car location, but Terry arranges for transport to and from his firm, so it’s a non-issue. BEST rental car agency ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super friendly! We had pre-ordered a rental car from a major rental company at the airport only to find out they wouldn't take our Visa because it is debit, not credit. The other car rental agencies said the same thing. However, they each recommended GSA and gave us Terry's number. We found out that Terry was at home, but was willing to drive 30 minutes to pick us up and rent us a car. Such a nice guy. That's quality service.

I absolutely love GSA and highly recommend them! I called about a week ahead and said we do not have a credit card and Terry said No problem, they didn't require one. We also didn't have a way to get from the airport to his location, again he said, No problem, he would pick us up at no extra cost. The cars may not be brand new like your other, bigger car rental agencies, but who cares? They are clean, well maintained and reliable. Most importantly, they get you from Point A to Point B! Terry picked us up at the airport very shortly after we landed, was super friendly on the drive to his office and the paperwork process was smooth and quick and then he sent us on our way with a smile. On the day we returned to drop off the car, Jack was there waiting for us and right away gave us a ride back to the airport, no waiting at all. Again, super friendly, chatted with us the whole way and wished us well for our way home. If we end up flying back to the Island again, rather than drive ourselves, I will not even look at the bigger rental companies. I will go directly to GSA. Thank you Terry and Jack for making this so easy and enjoyable for us :)

Great experience with GSA Rentals!

GSA has the very BEST prices on ths island. I'm talking 50% better than his competition. They offers older cars that are very well maintained. Interesting strategy that differentiates himself from the big rental companies.

The owner Terry was very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. He picked up my family from the ferry and provided many helpful travel tips.

If you're looking to rent a fun car from a great guy, GSA Rentals is for you.

We recently rented a van from Terry. We were stranded at the Abbotsford airport with our family of 5 and Avis screwed up our rental we had for a month.
Terry saved our trip and rented us a used older van and accepted debit (also accepts the load & go and prepaid credit credit cards cards) He saved our research trip! He was very easy to deal with and the vehicle worked well for us for the 4 days. They are older vehicles in his fleet but it makes sense since we didn't have a credit card for the transaction. This business fills a void that Avis, Budget, National car rental companies cant fill for people who dont operate with real credit cards!

After having initially put a deposit down for a Hertz rental car using my debit/visa card online, when I had arrived at their airport location to pay the remanding amount on our rental car I was told I couldn't use the card I had used to put a deposit down on because it wouldn't authorize like a proper credit card would, as it was a debit visa. Not being able to pay in any other method except credit as well as being told that I would have to go through Hertz Corporate to get my refund back(5-10 busniness days later) I was in a panic. I was told that all of the corporately owned car rentals work this way and was given Terry's business card for GSA at that point.

As soon as we gave him a call he came personally to pick myself and my husband up at the airport and took us to his office. The rental process was very quick, cheaper then the rates we were given by the other rental companies, and he was very accommodating. The car we rented was great on gas and drove great on the highways. When we came to drop the car off Terry gave us a shuttle back to the airport for our flight out.

Thanks so much Terry for saving our vacation!

Terry is quite friendly, and like the green rental company, he'll pick you up. For sure his cars have more than 1000kms on them; nevertheless they are in great condition and well appointed.

His prices are most reasonable. We had a van for 10 days and saved $100s over the regular names you think of first, but shouldn't. Initial reach out was done by email, then form on his website. Painless. Next visit to the Island will have me again calling GSA.

Terry was a pleasure to deal with! The car we had was everything we needed. His business is located close to the Twassan ferry terminal and the Victoria Airport, making it very easy to pick up and drop off the vehicles. Excellent customer service! Thanks again!
