Especially when visiting during the winter, opting for a 4-wheel-drive car is a wise choice, as it provides the necessary traction for the weather conditions. An SUV will equip travelers with the essential stability on the road without being too bulky. If you’re driving with family and need more space, a minivan is also a good option.

When you choose to drive from Bradley International Airport to the city center of Hartford, you can expect the journey to take anywhere from 20 to 25min if there is no additional traffic. The easiest way to make this trip is to jump on the I-91 S and take this highway to State Street via Exit 31. You can then continue driving along State Street to Central Row, which is located in the heart of the city.
It’s easy to book Hartford car rentals at Bradley International Airport, as this transportation hub has its very own rental car center, which can be conveniently found in the main terminal near the baggage claim area. There are a few different rental agencies that have offices here, and these include Avis, Hertz, and National. Once you finish signing any necessary paperwork and paying, an employee from your selected car rental company will then bring you to your vehicle. This should be just a short walk away, as most of the companies that have branches in the airport’s car rental center keep their fleets on airport property, within a few minutes of their office.

Pros:
Nothing at all after checking my reservation it stated that sixt will be closing at 3pm and we gave them a call to let them know that our flight will be getting in at 2:15 pm and once we got there we was told that someone else took the car that we reserved for weeks ago. This facility rather more money over customer service I will not be booking with this company ever again even if it's my last resort. I will take a lyfe or Uber first before stepping into this establishment again10.0 Wonderful

Sandy, 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

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
