Small airport location, convenient.
Pros: No line at rental counter when I dropped the car off midday. No need for shuttle.
Cons: Unattended drop off area so you need to go to the counter, which is a short walk away compared to larger airports. Not terrible, when the weather is nice.

Not the best rental car experience
Pros: Not much. The car was ok.
Cons: First off, I requested a luxury car, they gave me a Chrysler 300. My wife has back issues, hence the need for a smooth ride. Well, the 300 did not drive so smoothly. It was dirty. The back seats were covered in stains and crust. Luckily, we only needed the two front seats. Will never rent from Budget again.

Mustang rental
Pros: The staff at Ithaca airport was fast and friendly and the car was ready to go. The car got great gas mileage.
Cons: I was not expecting a Mustang. I would have preferred something more comfortable for a long road trip, maybe a sedan. Also, the car had a number of squeaks and groaning noises that made me worry about a possible breakdown. It was surprising that a late model car could sound so bad. However, the car ran fine and got me home without a problem.
