KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Troy

  • When compared to other modes of transportation in the city, such as taxis and city buses, Troy car rentals have a variety of benefits. In contrast to public transportation, which has set routes and departure times, renting a car allows you to choose your own departure times and practical routes to utilize.  You can easily get to Troy's great attractions, such Joseph L. Bruno Stadium, with the help of your car rental in Troy. If you want to visit more areas in the city, it is more affordable to rent a car than to use a cab.
  • One of the most popular modes of transportation for visitors arriving at Albany International Airport (ALB) is car rentals in Troy. The rental car facility is conveniently located inside the airport parking garage and is home to a number of automobile rental firms. Several automobile rental firms have desks inside of this rental facility, including Alamo, Hertz, and Enterprise. You can easily walk to the facility by following the vehicle rental signage from the baggage claim area.
  • Pedestrians frequently cross several roadways in Troy without utilizing the crosswalk. Despite the fact that jaywalking is against the law in Troy. Therefore, it is crucial to always be aware of pedestrians when driving on any city street in order to avoid running into any jaywalkers.  In addition, there are a few laws you should be aware of when using car rentals in Troy. For instance, if you plan to drive with a child or children under the age of 8, they should always be in an appropriate safety seat unless they are over 4 feet 9 inches tall.
  • Since most of the roads are wide and in good condition, driving in Troy is often easy and exciting. However, if you're unfamiliar with the area, you might have trouble negotiating the always crowded junction of Hoosick and 15th streets. In addition, it will be challenging to drive a rental car in the morning and evening in the city. The Hoosick Street corridor is particularly affected in the morning, when traffic is at its worst from around 6:30 am until around 9:30 am. From about 5:30 pm to about 7 pm in the afternoon, the same thing happens again.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Troy?

    The majority of Troy's tourist attractions are located in areas with hilly topography and uneven ground. As a result, if you plan to travel to these places by renting a car in Troy, think about an SUV vehicle. The powerful engine of this vehicle can readily negotiate difficult terrain. But if you want to go somewhere that is in or close to the city center, where the majority of the roads are rather small and parking places are scarce, a compact car will be your best bet.

  • What’s the speed limit in Troy?

    When driving in Troy, the posted speed restrictions differ from one route or zone to another. You must adhere to a 25 mph speed limit unless it says otherwise on the sign. The legal limit for vehicles traveling through school zones or the central business district is 20 mph. On State Highways, however, the restriction is up to 65 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Troy?

    When using car rentals in Troy, parking shouldn't be an issue at all. A convenient parking option, street parking costs roughly $1 per hour. However, you run the risk of not finding a place to park your car on the street due to the shortage of spaces. In these circumstances, you can park your automobile at a garage, like Fifth Avenue Garage, which charges between $1 and $5 per hour. If you pick a hotel in Troy that has free parking, you may make use of it while staying at one of the city's hotels.

KAYAK

Pros:

I liked the final price and the choice of car.

Cons:

The pickup location listed on the itinerary was not the pickup location. It was the Enterprise gated lot where the inventory is kept, a mile away. The literal hike back to where I knew the Enterprise booth was at the airport (at a completely different address than was listed on my itinerary), was a complete waste of my time. I have had to take shuttles about a mile away from the airport in different locations to pickup rental cars in the past, so the initial directions taking me past the airport did not seem out of the ordinary for pickup at first. Once finally at the counter, the sales rep tried to tell me the insurance I could opt for at $9/day was $14/day. I had it right on the paper print out but he acted "surprised." I am smart enough to know that this was an attempted upsell. I am also aware that you do not even need this insurance, so I asked him to forget it all together. Then I was told that the car rate was going up because of this. Which annoys me. 1.) Because my rate was booked independent of the insurance I hadn't opted into yet, and 2.) Because this was Saturday morning. I was taking a car off his hands for the weekend that would otherwise badly affect his numbers. I almost cancelled all together because of this until miraculously I rented an upgraded car for a discounted rate (that was still an upsell for him) after explaining I know how this works. Way too much BS to go through especially when surrounded by other car rental services in the airport who are also trying to get rid of cars over the weekend. The lines at the other desks were the sole reason I rented with Enterprise.

Pros:

Car was well equipped with blind spot detection, especially useful driving in Boston.

Cons:

I had reserved a sedan but only SUVs and Mini-vans were available. When I said that I would not drive one of those types of vehicles, I was told that I would have to wait about half an hour. When I said that I would wait, within one minute a sedan was available. Interesting! This is similar to being seated at the worst table in a restaurant when there are no other people there. Is this common practice?
