Compare the total cost, not just the daily rate. Add airport fees, parking downtown, gas, insurance and the cost of getting from YHZ to the hotel. Sometimes the cheap daily rate is not actually the cheapest plan.
Is it cheaper to rent a car at Halifax airport or downtown?

We’re flying into YHZ but staying downtown first. I’m wondering if we should take the bus or taxi into Halifax and rent a car later for the South Shore.

Answers & Discussion
Airport pickup is easiest if you have luggage, kids or a late arrival. Budget, National and the usual airport rental companies are right where travelers expect them. I would pay more for airport pickup if timing is tight.
If you do not need the car for the first day or two, renting downtown can save money because you avoid paying for unused rental days and hotel parking. The airport is convenient, but convenience usually costs something.
