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.

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.

Passenger van

KAYAK
They informed me less than 24 hours in advance of pickup that the passenger van was not available. It seems there was a recall, made public in early June. When I asked for assistance in locating a replacement vehicle, no assistance was offered. I attempted to use the chat, spoke with someone I called in customer service, and I followed up with an online contact form. No return contact from anyone at Enterprise, despite being told I would have contact and that this matter was being escalated. To take the trip with our Girl Scout troop, we rented a midsized SUV from Avis and I took a personal vehicle. This more than doubled the cost from fuel. Driving time was increased greatly. The rental was significantly more expensive than what we thought we would pay by reserving in advance. I will not trust this process again.

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!

GEORGE THE MANAGER located on Burnet Ave in Syracuse cancelled my reservation after I said I need a van to travel to Florida. He said he could get me something similar, such as an 8 passenger SUV.. I told him that this would not work because we are relocating to Florida. I said cancel the SUV and George cancelled the entire reservation. I was so pissed off that used some expletive's toward George at the end of our conversation but nevertheless he could have tried to help me right from the beginning, as a opposed to being indifferent and a care less attitude. So in the end your company lost out on a one way van rental to Naples Florida in the approximate amount of 674.00. Furthermore now that I am retired and can afford to travel, I will never do business with hertz again

I received an "It’s official: you got a ride for Syracuse". The reservation had been cancelled when I attempted to pick up the car. The experience would be improved with proper communication and keeping the reservation that was confirmed by your company. Or email that no car is available.
