Golf weekend are more than just a few rounds on the green—they’re a full escape. Whether you’re headed to the serene fairways of Whistler, the scenic courses in Kelowna, or a hidden gem near Calgary, planning every detail counts. And while clubs, balls, and booking tee times usually top the checklist, there’s one often-overlooked essential: your rental car.

At Mr. Rent a Car, we know that the journey is just as important as the destination. So, if you’re planning a golf getaway, let’s make sure your ride is as smooth and stress-free as your backswing.

Why the Right Car Rental Matters for Golf Trips

You’ve spent time finding the right course. Maybe even booked a stay at a cozy resort. Now imagine trying to cram a full set of clubs into the backseat of a compact car—not ideal, right?

Golf weekends often mean:

• Multiple people traveling together
• Large gear: bags, carts, coolers
• Long drives between courses or towns
• Desire for comfort and a touch of style

Choosing the right rental means better comfort, organization, and fewer headaches.

What Type of Car Should You Choose?

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

SUVs – The Golfer’s Favorite

If you’re carrying multiple sets of clubs, a midsize or full-size SUV is your best bet. SUVs offer:

• Ample trunk space for bags and equipment
• Comfortable seating for 3–5 people
• Room for extras, like coolers, rain gear, and overnight bags

SUVs also handle BC and Alberta’s changing weather conditions better—especially if you’re heading into the mountains.

Sedans – Great for Solo Golfers or Pairs

Planning a quick solo getaway or golfing with a buddy? A full-size sedan gives you:

• A comfortable ride
• Enough trunk room for 1–2 bags
• Better fuel efficiency on long drives

Sedans are ideal if you’re heading somewhere local or don’t want to drive something too large.

Pickup Trucks – For Gear-Heavy Trips

Bringing extra gear, like personal carts or tents for a golf tourney? A crew cab pickup offers:

• Open bed space for oversized items
• Plenty of room for passengers
• A rugged build for course-side parking or rougher terrain

Minivans – Group Golf Trips Made Easy

If it’s a boys’ weekend or a full family golf trip, a minivan might be surprisingly perfect. Foldable seats, multiple configurations, and sliding doors make loading easy.

Tips for Booking the Perfect Golf Weekend Rental

• Book early – Golf season is also travel season. Booking your rental early means more choices and better prices.
• Check for add-ons – Need GPS to find a course off the beaten path? Want a roof rack? Mr. Rent a Car has you covered.
• Choose the right pickup location – Whether you’re flying into Calgary International Airport, YVR, or picking up from a local branch, Mr. Rent a Car has flexible pickup options.
• Pack smart – Bring club covers, towels, and plastic liners to keep your rental clean—especially after a muddy round.
