KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Vernon
- With car rentals in Vernon, you can easily visit multiple destinations daily, maximizing your sightseeing opportunities. Additionally, some attractions, parks, and points of interest might be more easily accessible by car, mainly if they are located in remote areas or have limited public transportation options, such as Shenipsit State Forest and Valley Falls Park. Most importantly, renting a car provides a private and personal space for you and your travel companions. You can have discussions, make phone calls, or enjoy the journey without the presence of strangers.
- Bradley International Airport (BDL) is the primary airport serving the Hartford metropolitan area, which includes Vernon, CT. Upon arrival, you will find several major car rentals in Vernon, including Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget, National, and Alamo, located at the airport, offering a range of vehicle options to suit your needs. The car rental facilities at BDL are in the airport's Ground Transportation Center, which is a short distance from the main terminal. A courtesy shuttle offers frequent transfers from the terminals to the car rental facility.
- You might find that drivers in Vernon are more likely to let others merge, yield to pedestrians, and generally be more courteous on the road. Remember that some parts of Vernon may have historic districts with narrower roads, reflecting the town's historical character. These areas might have narrower streets and limited space for parking your Vernon car rentals. Lastly, while dedicated bicycle lanes might not be prevalent on all roads, cyclists can generally share the road with vehicles. Some streets might have marked bike lanes, while others may be designated as "share the road" routes.
- Vernon is a suburban town, and while it may experience some traffic during peak commuting times, rush hours are generally not as pronounced as in major cities. Commuter traffic could be more noticeable during weekday mornings (around 7 am to 9 am) and evenings (around 4 pm to 6 pm) as people travel to and from work or school. To this end, consider skirting around notoriously known streets for heavy snarl-ups, like Route 30 (Hartford Turnpike), Route 83 (Talcottville Road), and I-84.

Mar 2021
Cons:
When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, I was told that they had no vehicles available it would be at least two days before they had any. They blamed it on a glitch in their computer system and that they had had this problem before. It seems to me that’s a pretty massive problem they should work out, because I created a major disruption in my schedule and my plans, and Enterprise did nothing but say “sorry, try somewhere else.”10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2018
Pros:
Our flight wasn't until 7:30 p.m. and the car had to be returned at 11 a.m... We called Andrew at the Hartford location and for 4.$ extra we were able to keep the car until 4. They also allowed us to drop the car at a location closer to the airport. The experiecne made our trip that much more enjoyable. Thank you Enterprise. Your new loyal customers,Budget

Pros:
Decent car and decent drop off experience.Cons:
Upon pickup in Hartford, the employee was very unwilling to review scratches and damage prior to the trip and there was a lot. Employees were using vulgar raciest language with each other directly in the presence of several customers. Generally, terrible pickup location in an unsafe neighborhood.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Did not pick up car I specifcally explained a Bradley air port area pick up and when I got to Bradley to pick up the car I was told the pick up was in Hartford the rental at the airport cost me $450 dollars more. Very unhappy9.2 Wonderful
Aug 2018
Pros:
Good car, clean, well maintained. Friendly, efficient staff.Cons:
Not enough staff at the Liebert Road site. When I picked the car up there was a thunderstorm coming up, and one poor fellow had to deal with a line of people impatient to get going, another line of people wanting to return, as well as the necessary inspections of outgoing and incoming vehicles. He should never have had to do this alone. That said, he did a great job considering the circumstances.Hertz

Apr 2018
Cons:
The staff was completely rude and unprofessional. The car was filthy-there were even used tissues in the glove box!! We switched out one car for another and it was even more disgusting inside. Also, they made us pay to fill up the tank twice even though they gave it to us with way less than a full tank both times! I will never EVER rent a car through Hertz again.Avis

May 2021
Pros:
Very friendly and helpful! My problem is with Priceline. They scheduled this at a downtown location, which after I got off the airplane had no way to get to before closing. System shouldn’t have allowed. I selected BDL airport and couldn’t have known what street the car rental places are. Avis worked with me but airport fees made the care over $100 more. I won’t be ordering from Priceline again. I will order from Avis directly. They are great.Cons:
See above.8.0 Very good

Oct 2020
Pros:
The convenience and service I received at the time of pick-up and drop-off. Easy and seamless.Cons:
I have never rented from Avis before but I have rented a car with other companies prior to this experience. I expected the Avis employee to walk with me to the vehicle and inspect the vehicle prior to me leaving with the vehicle. That did not happen. I was handed the keys and told I was all set. I walked to the car and noticed that it was dirty inside, leftover papers in the trunk and wrappers in the back door. About half way through my 750 mile commute I received a maintenance required notification on the dashboard for the rear seatbelts. I didn’t use the rear seat belts at all during my trip. The notification continued to prompt every time I would start the car. Just didn’t make me feel safe that all services/recalls weren’t serviced prior to letting a customer take the vehicle as a rental, especially with my lengthy trip.10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2017
Pros:
So I mistakenly thought I booked the car for the Avis location close to the airport. Took the Avis shuttle from airport to their facility, and when the agreement screen popped up, the price showed as being close to $600!! I showed the clerk my reservation, with the price I agreed to as being $136, and the clerk said “Oh, I see the problem. Your booking is with the downtown Avis location, not the airport location.” So I used a rideshare app to go the 20 minutes to the proper facility, and got the price I was promised. But - are you freaking KIDDING ME? It costs 4 times as much for the same car, with the same company, if you rent it from the airport location instead? price gouging, anyone??? On the plus side, once I was at the proper location, the transaction was very smooth and the clerk very helpfulCar rental locations in or near Vernon
