Use a cc not a debt card. They hold an additional $300 on all debt cards. Doesn’t seem fair. Thank you

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Allentown

  • When you plan your vacation to Allentown, one of the major concerns you may have is whether you’ll be able to fulfill your itinerary within your stipulated timeframe. More so if you have to use public transportation. There’s a certain flexibility and convenience that comes with having a car as you cruise about in a new city. Most rental cars in Allentown are equipped with GPS and navigational technology, so getting lost is nothing to worry about. You also get the opportunity to experience some of the hidden gems inside and outside the city. For example, the Mattress Factory, which houses one-of-a-kind art installations and exhibitions, is 31 miles away. You can also hit the road in your rental car and take in the scenery all the way to the Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle, located about 31 miles away as well.
  • Once you arrive at the Leigh Valley International Airport, you’ll have your pick from Allentown car rentals. The rental car counters can be found in the terminal close to the baggage claim. You’ll pick up your car outside the terminal, in the same location where you’ll bring it back when the trip is over. You can choose from multiple car rentals in Allentown, including Alamo, Enterprise, and Budget.
  • Once you hit the road in your Allentown rental car, some of the things you should be wary of are farm equipment and horse-drawn vehicles. Most of these vehicles are slow-moving, so if you’re not careful, they can present unfamiliar hazards. Most rural roads in Allentown may also be harder to maneuver because you’re likely to experience grassy berms and loose gravel. You may also come across unexpected turns and sharp dips, some of which may present driving challenges for new drivers to the area.
  • When driving in Allentown, the Airport Road northbound between Union Boulevard and Lloyd Street can be very congested, and you need to drive carefully here. Route 145 can also get backed up during high-traffic hours. The same goes for North 7th Street between West Union Street and West Green Street and eastbound route 222 Hamilton Boulevard close to North 15th Street. You may also want to be careful on South 4th Street and Union Boulevard, as the intersections can be quite hectic to maneuver.
  • If you love adventure, you should consider renting a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Allentown. This is because, with a rental car from a cheap Allentown car rental, you’ll be able to visit destinations within and outside the city. Some of the notable destinations not so far away from Allentown that you can easily drive to include Beltzville State Park in Lexington, the Vynecrest Winery in Breinigsville, the Red Mill Museum Village, and the Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton, and The Crayola Experience in Easton. Given that all these destinations are an hour's drive from Allentown, you can easily drive to and from any within a day.
  • In Allentown, children below two years must seat in a rear-facing car seat and kids below four years must be secured in an approved child seat. Additionally, children above four years but below eight years must sit in a booster seat while riding in a car. This being the case, if you intend to drive around with a kid below eight years in the car you rent for your preferred cheap car rental in Allentown, you should ask your car rental to have your rental car of choice fitted with an appropriate child car seat.
  • From the moment you pick up your rental from your cheap car rental in Allentown to the moment you return, you should ensure you drive within the set speed limits. This is because, in Allentown, speeding fines are relatively hefty. In this city, if you’re caught driving 10 mph over the speed limit in a 25, 35, 45, or 55 mph zone, you’ll be fined at least $45. You’ll pay $52.50 if you’re caught driving 10 mph over the speed limit in a 65-mph zone and $102.50 if you’re caught driving 35 mph over the limit in a 65-mph zone.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Allentown for $47 or less
  • Medium rental cars in Allentown are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average
