You get the freedom to decide when you are going to visit a place. You can also stop along the way and soak in the adventure while taking pictures of the journey. In addition, car rentals are reliable, unlike public transport, which often has peak hours, service hours, and days. You can easily explore the city's New Britain Museum of Art, Walnut Hill Park, and Stanley Quarter Park with a car rental in New Britain.
  • When flying to New Britain, you will mostly arrive via Bradley International Airport. Once you pick up your luggage from the baggage claim area, proceed to the courtesy bus pick-up location.

Some car rental agencies at the facility operate daily from 4 am to 12 am, while others offer 24-hour services. We recommend making earlier arrangements to avoid waiting in line for easy pick-up.

Each driver and passenger must have seat belts on. Children under seven, less than 60 pounds, must be in booster seats. In marked or unmarked crosswalks, always yield to pedestrians as they have the right of way. Always yield to drivers already in the circle when entering a traffic circle. At intersections with no stop signs, always yield to incoming traffic. At four-way stops, the vehicle on the right has the right of way.
  • Driving in the city is New Britain is easy but has some challenges. First, rush hour peaks daily from 76 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm.

I inadvertently rented my car from West Hartford when I really wanted the airport. Being unfamiliar with the area, I was not sure of the address. The pickup experience at West Hartford was great, getting there was a little more problematic. When I returned the car, I opted to pay the fee to return at a different location, and picked the airport since it was right across the street from our hotel, so much easier to get to. Everyone I worked with had great customer service.

Christine, the manager at the Bradley International Airport Hertz Location was AMAZING. Were it not for her kindness, support, amazing customer service, I would not opt to return; as the result of her amazing 'care' I will be back. Give that woman a raise... truly a gem! Thank you for you kind words Christine! I hope you see his message... to customers out there with questions or issues, or ANTHING ELSE, ask for Christine , the manager at the Bradley Hertz location. Thank you, Suzanne from Hampton

Mar 2016

KAYAK

Pros:

Was not a far drive to get there.

Cons:

A lot of the problems that I had were because their website was not up to date and did not advertise anything very well. When I went to go pick up my rental vehicle I arrived at the wrong location. They claimed that they had moved to another location, but there is nothing to suggest that online. When I finally got to the facility, they added an additional service fee that even they admitted to not advertising on their website. This makes no sense to me and is very infuriating. The car they wanted to give to me at the time was also missing part of the front grill. If i have a reservation, the car should be properly prepared and ready when I pick it up. In addition to this, they wanted the total payment, plus the service fee and a $250 deposit up front instead of what they had advertised which was $30 upfront and the rest when I dropped it of. This was the last straw for me and I ended up canceling my reservation and not renting from them at all. I do not recommend ACE at all to anyone. In fact I am so disappointed by their service that I am making it a point to tell everyone DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE!!!
