7-seaters
For bigger crews, the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander are the go-tos. Expect $95-130/day from local owners.
Truck-based SUVs
If you need real towing capacity, look at the Toyota 4Runner or Ford Expedition.
Winter tips
- Get AWD or 4WD between November and March
- Carry chains on the Sea-to-Sky
- Pickup in Surrey saves the YVR airport surcharge
Peer-to-peer alternative
If the traditional counters in Surrey don't have what you need — or the price feels steep — it's worth comparing against a local peer-to-peer marketplace like c2crental.ca. You rent directly from a Surrey owner, often at a lower daily rate, with more vehicle variety than the big chains stock.
