Jasper City Car Hire

Jasper center in Alberta offers car rental from three agencies, perfect for exploring Jasper National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site spanning 11,000 km². The town is located at the intersection of the Icefields Parkway and Yellowhead Highway, with immediate access to glaciers, elk, and dramatic Rocky Mountain landscapes. From Jasper center, you can reach Athabasca Falls in just 30 km (25 minutes), Maligne Lake at 48 km (45 minutes), and the spectacular Columbia Icefield at 103 km along the Icefields Parkway (1.5 hours).

Banff center is 290 km south, approximately 3 hours along one of the world's most beautiful roads. Drive the Icefields Parkway early in the morning for the best chance of seeing wildlife, including bears and elk. Fill up with fuel in Jasper – gas stations along the Icefields Parkway are few and expensive.

Book your car early during July-August when Jasper is extremely popular and vehicles sell out quickly. Can I drive from Jasper to Banff with a rental car? Yes, the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) takes you from Jasper to Banff in about 3 hours (290 km) – one of the world's most scenic drives.

How far is it from Jasper to Edmonton? Edmonton is approximately 370 km east along Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16), a drive of about 3.5 hours. Do I need winter tires in Jasper?

October through April requires winter tires on BC and Alberta roads. Check with your rental company that the vehicle is equipped for the season.

We compare prices from all major providers at Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
