Alamo Car Hire in Gaspé

Alamo's counter at Gaspe Airport (YGP) sits inside the terminal building, a short walk from baggage claim — no shuttle required, and the process from landing to driving away typically takes under 30 minutes. That convenience comes with a firm caveat: the counter operates weekdays only, roughly 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and is closed at weekends. If your flight arrives Saturday evening or Sunday, plan ahead, because after-hours pickup is not available at this location. Booking well in advance matters here — YGP is a small regional airport with limited fleet, and availability can tighten quickly during summer months when demand along the Gaspésie coast peaks. The Gaspe Peninsula has no toll roads, so there is no electronic toll pass to worry about; the main Quebec toll infrastructure is concentrated around Montreal. Fuel, however, runs consistently higher than elsewhere in Quebec, so fill up before returning the vehicle to avoid the hire company's fuel service charge, which typically runs two to three times the pump price. Quebec law requires winter tyres on all passenger vehicles from December 1st to March 15th — hire vehicles are equipped accordingly during that window. A credit card in the primary driver's name is required at pickup, and the authorisation hold is typically CAD 300–400 depending on vehicle class. Drivers under 25 should expect a youthful surcharge of around CAD 20 per day.
