ABOUT GSA AUTO RENTALS
A Family Business Built on Experience
GSA Auto Rentals is a family-owned car rental company based in Sidney, BC. We've been serving Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula, and Vancouver Island since 1997. We specialise in clean, well-maintained, pre-owned vehicles for rentals of three days or longer. Our goal is simple: reliable transportation at fair rates, with clear communication and no pressure.
Our Approach
We're not a large corporate chain. We're a local, independent business. That means no hidden fees, no unnecessary upselling, and no surprises. You get clear expectations and personal service from start to finish.
We speak directly with every customer by phone or email before confirming a reservation. This ensures the rental is a good fit for everyone.
Who We Serve
Over the years, we've worked with families visiting Vancouver Island, seniors enjoying seasonal stays, snowbirds, students, businesses with consultants and contractors needing temporary vehicles, and locals between cars. Many of our customers come back year after year.
Our Vehicles
Our fleet includes compact cars, mid-size vehicles, and minivans. All vehicles are pre-owned, non-smoking, clean, and well-maintained. If you're looking for dependable transportation at a fair price, you'll feel right at home with us.
Our Location
We're located minutes from Victoria International Airport (YYJ) and Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal, making pickup and drop-off easy whether you're arriving by air or ferry.
Why Choose GSA Auto Rentals?
Since 1997, we've built our reputation on fairness, reliability, and personal service. If you're planning a stay in Victoria or Sidney and need a car for several days or longer, we'd love to hear from you.
Meet Terry Wallbridge
Terry's career in the automotive industry started in the 1970s. He built a strong reputation in car sales and leasing, earning national recognition along the way. In 1975, he was named Volvo's Canadian Salesman of the Year.
In the 1990s, Terry brought that same commitment to Vancouver Island. He opened a Rent-A-Wreck location with a straightforward philosophy: clean, dependable vehicles at honest prices, no gimmicks, no pressure.
In 2001, Terry transitioned the business into GSA Auto Rentals. It started small and has grown steadily through word of mouth and repeat customers who value personal service and practical solutions.
