KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Auburn

  • If you need to explore the culture, art, and history of Auburn, consider using car rentals in Auburn. Using public buses to various places in the city limits your access to tourist attractions and fun places far from the city. When driving a rental car, you can visit Veronica Beach State Park, approximately 60 miles away, Canandaigua City Pier, around 42 miles away, and Rosamond Gifford Zoo, about 25 miles from Auburn.
  • If you land at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR), you can choose a vehicle at the Auburn car rental agencies at the airport. Several car rental agencies, including Enterprise, Budget, National, and Avis, are located at the first level of the center terminal at the checkpoint. The airport offers complimentary shuttle services to connect passengers from the terminal to the shuttle services. When booking a rental car at the last minute, you can experience long queues.
  • When driving car rentals in Auburn, expect to see cyclists on the sidewalks in the city. Therefore, stay focused because some cyclists can be aggressive. Again, sometimes the streets can be busy as tourists visit the city to see the attractions. Though the streets are well-marked with pedestrian crossing zones, beware when driving on congested streets to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
  • Rush hours in Auburn are mostly between 6 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 7 pm on weekdays. The most affected road is the 1-95 because it connects many regions. It can be challenging and frustrating when driving a rental car in traffic. Therefore, avoid driving on this route and use alternative routes. Another way to avoid traffic is to start your journey earlier before traffic begins.

Pros:

Yes I was greeted at the door for pickup and drop off, no issues, everything went smooth.

Cons:

The car wasn't cleaned well. The car mats were soaked with water. There were two pickles, yes pickles, wedged in between the seats. There was the smell of weed throughout the car. There was a weed spray in the door, called Blunteffects, left behind by the previous renter.

Pros:

Staff said they would drop me off...I was told to be there after 2:30. I was also told they were at the Watertown airport which is not the case and the Sheriff at the airport said they get numerous customers coming there for enterprise. When I got to the right place it was 3:30 because I was at the airport for 20 minutes, on hold with local office waiting for a employee to answer for 20 minutes. When I called again a girl picked up and said I was misinformed by one of the employees and the radius of drop off is 15 miles and no one could take me to Clayton.

Cons:

Staff needs to know the policies. Website needs to state the radius. Staff needs to answer the phone...I have yet to get through to the Syracuse staff to dispute the bill. I got charged 173 and The Syracuse guy gave me paper work for 139

Hertz moved offices but didn't update me (or the seven other hertz customers who went to the same old address the same day). Hertz gave away my car and then charged me more for an upgrade as my only option. Enterprise across the street from the old Hertz address was kind to give me a free ride to the new Hertz address. I'll def go Enterprise next time no matter the extra cost. Relatability matters!

KAYAK

Pros:

Syracuse staff was helpful, friendly, efficient.

Cons:

The check engine light came on while I was in NC, 700 miles away from home.Obviously I rented a car for reliability so I called, they told me to take it to local shop and trade it in. I went to 2 different locations and called the airport location. The only thing the staff would say is no cars were available. Which is fine, but there were no other options offered, no recommended plan of action. This is their car, there should have been more guidance. I drove the car back and it made it ok. Not knowing what the issue was or what could go wrong was a stress I did not need on this trip.
