Drive away and explore Jasper with a rental car from Airport Rentals.
Jasper, tucked away in the Canadian Rockies, is an unassuming mountain town at the centre of the big, wild and wonderful Jasper National Park. Quieter and more low key than its famous southern counterpart of Banff, this town is a fantastic place to base yourself with a car hire and explore the natural beauty of Canada’s stunning western mountain range. There are some amazing places within easy reach of Jasper - and you can relax after a long day of adventure with a soak in the nearby Miette Hot Springs.

Officially classified as a special municipality, Jasper is partly governed by Federal Parks Canada.

It is known for the Jasper SkyTram, a scenic gondola, and for proximity to natural wonders like the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Falls. Jasper has a climate which borders Humid Continental and Subarctic, with defined seasons.
Jasper does have an airport, but it is a small facility mainly for military use. The closest major airport is Edmonton Airport, a big and busy airport about a four-hour drive east on Highway 16.
