A Better Way to Rent a Car in PEI
No worn-out fleets. No airport markup. No 1-800 call centres. Just modern vehicles, honest pricing, and friendly local service from a family-owned PEI business.
Built Different. On Purpose.
Pleasant Drive Rentals didn't start as a corporate franchise. We started because we saw too many visitors arrive in Prince Edward Island excited for their trip, only to deal with worn-out vehicles, surprise fees, and impersonal service that started their vacation on the wrong foot.
We do things differently — and our customers tell us they can feel it from the first phone call.
Six Reasons Visitors Keep Choosing Us
A Genuinely Modern Fleet
Every vehicle in our fleet is a 2025 or 2026 Toyota. While many chains stretch their cars to 5+ years and 100,000+ km, ours still feel and drive like new — safer, cleaner, more reliable.
Honest, Transparent Pricing
The price you see is the price you pay. No airport concession fees, no fuel surcharges, no mystery add-ons at the counter. We tell you what your rental costs before you book.
Locally Owned and Operated
We're not a franchise. We're a PEI family business operating from Charlottetown and Summerside. Every dollar stays on the Island and supports local jobs.
Real People You Can Reach
Need to change your reservation? You'll talk to a real person in PEI — not an overseas call centre with a 30-minute hold time. We answer the phone.
Two Convenient Locations
Our Charlottetown location is minutes from downtown and the airport. Our Summerside location is steps from the waterfront and close to the Confederation Bridge.
Built for the Island
PEI roads can mean coastal winds, winter storms, rural shoulders, and unexpected wildlife. Our AWD RAV4 SUVs and reliable Corolla sedans are matched to real Island driving.
