Okay, I got off the plane but couldnt find Driving Force in any of the airport directories in Calgary. However, I asked for information at the kiosk, and called them. Driving Force told me where I was to go and as I got to the curb just they were loading up the van (so I didnt wait at all). However, those travelers who were already there were complaining loudly that they had to wait "over and hour" for the pickup. My car was clean, efficient, and brand new (about 7K miles 15Kilo). Based on MY experience, I totally enjoyed using Driving Force. There was one small "con" to this praise: Their office/car lot is FAR from the airport in Calgary, so expect a 20 minute + ride to get your car. Bonus praise: After my trip, my credit card company also wanted them to send proof of my rental (I was being reimbursed for hurricane Harvey) and DrivingForce promptly and easily agreed to email my statement for submission to the credit card company.

This is a little way out from the airport, around 30 mins. I made the reservation with Expedia and was quoted in U.S dollars, obviously i did not take into account that I would be charged at the location in Canadian dollars.. but hey, this was my first time booking a rental. Anyway, so we was supposed to be picked up at the airport by the courtesy shuttle, but their driver was sick and we was asked to get a cab to their location. The staff was really polite and apologetic, and instead of reimbursing me for the cab, they took off the taxes which was ideal, since the taxes was a little higher than the cab fare. Drop off was a tad strange, since my flight was after office hours, I had to drop off the car at the Hampton Inn near the airport and get a shuttle.

I needed a new backup truck for my small business. So I stopped in to have a look. Heres a place that sells trucks 10-20 at a time, and even though I was only looking for 1 the customer service and product quality far exceeded that of the other dealerships I went to. The truck I decided on was priced pretty much the same elsewhere, but every one of them had higher mileage and were in nowhere near the same condition. Combined with the level of service at the other dealerships I went to, next time I need a work truck I dont think Im going to bother going elsewhere. Rob H. was no pressure, helpful and informative and once I decided to buy, the whole transaction went smoothly and I left there with a ready-to-go truck that only needed a license plate.

The mini-van we rented was brand new, the facility is clean, and the staff was super friendly. However, they dropped an additional $135 in fees on top of my quoted rental for dropping the car at the hotel near the airport ($5) and they explained the customer facility charge ($42) and concession fee recovery ($83) is for the use of the airport and the shuttle (which functionally took us 1.5 hours to get to the rental facility) I dont go to Calgary enough to know if all rental car companies do that, but it seemed sleezy to me. It was Stampede and I they were the only ones who had a van available.

Moved from Kelowna BC and had to stay in a hotel from July 20- August 3rd, August 1st went into Driving Force after trying Discount & Budget as they both were sold out of Pick up trucks, due to the time of year we are in out here & the recent flooding, Rental desk was great had a truck in less then 5 mins.... When I needed it for longer I just called them & let them know I needed it longer, The truck I had was great & brand new only had 8000 kms on it, I love these guys and will rent for tghem again matter of fact I believe I need a truck this weekend coming up....

Was shuttled from airport to Car Rental, driver was very pleasant and friendly. Staff at Rental office was great! We were dealt with quickly so we could get on our way. the vehicle as brand new with only 400 km so very much enjoyed a new vehicle. because we were dropping the vehicle off on a Sunday when office was closed Driving Force Rentals had an arrangement with hotel near airport to drop car off and we were shuttle to our airline at the Calgary airport. We will definitely use them again in our next trip to Calgary. Thanks for the Great experience.

I have worked for this office a few times as casual driving support for moving of vehicles from Calgary to destinations west of Edmonton. Never had a problem getting paid until now. I worked on April 23, 2016 and still have not been paid (it is now July 8, 2016)!! I completed all the necessary paperwork due to a process change and provided all required information and have yet to receive payment or be contacted by the company to resolve the issue. I have had to contact them to try and find answers. RIDICULOUS!

The only place in the city that had a 15 passenger van, other companies advertise that they have them and they dont. Nice clean store, convenient location and lightning fast check-in process, all my information was typed directly in the computer and I just had to sign. Was expecting one of those ugly cargo vans but this was one of those extra tall vans in brand new condition. Reasonable charge for overages, absolute pleasure and will be back again!

Never rent a car from this place. It can take a very long time to go to and from the airport especially during rush hour. They also close very early (5pm) after which you should return the car to a different location (this was the case for me but they did not tell me about this beforehand so I had to go back and forth between different locations which is very annoying thing to do before taking a flight).

*UPDATE* Rented from them again this past weekend, and had another great experience. Staff was friendly and accommodating, and their pricing beat every other rental company. (Review from 1 year ago) Service was excellent, the employees were very accommodating, and the van I rented was in great shape. Im very surprised to read the negative reviews on here, my experience was great.

Very helpful and informative. Rob created a pleasant buying experience and was able to answer all my questions. Even after my purchase he was willing to guide me through all the creature comforts my new truck had to offer. I would recommend driving force for anyone interested in purchasing a truck.

Ive been forced to use this rental company through work for a year and it seems every single time I use them they give me a headache. They have the worst customer service Ive seen in any industry.

A little far from the airport (around 20min) and complicated to figure out how to make them come and get you. But overall cheap and upgraded us to a RAV4 which is nice for with terms driving.

You cant even rent a work truck from here and thats all they advertise I feel its completely false advertising they could easily memtion your unable to tow with a so called work truck .

This company is horrible. I was refused service because I needed a 4 door truck and those are only available for important customers. Who have an established account.
