KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bridgeport

  • A car rental in Bridgeport gives you the flexibility to explore and discover the city at your convenience. Some places you must visit in the city are the Beardsley Zoo, Downtown Cabaret Theatre, and Discovery Museum. Furthermore, you can decide to take a long drive to other towns close to Bridgeport like Westport and Stratford. There are plenty of attractions in these towns to enjoy. All the traveling and exploration is much easier with a Bridgeport car rental.
  • On the majority of Bridgeport's roadways, you shouldn't count on drivers to obey the right-of-way rule. Drivers frequently make sudden cuts in front of other vehicles. Buses and huge vehicles should be watched closely since they frequently drive where they shouldn't. Maintaining lower speeds whenever possible and keeping an eye out for the vehicles in the other lanes is important when driving on highways with many lanes because unexpected lane switching is frequent. Bridgeport has several multilane highways.
  • Several airports can get you to Bridgeport. However, New Haven Airport is the closest airport for travelers flying to Bridgeport as it is 16 miles away. Several car rental companies have offices in Bridgeport Airport, such as Enterprise and National. The car rental booth is near the airport's parking lot C, within walking distance from the terminal.
  • There is no need for People with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) to be concerned about being unable to rent the car of their choice from any of the cheap car rentals in Bridgeport. The majority of car rental companies in Bridgeport, such as Enterprise, Avis, and Budget, include PRM-friendly accessories. As a PRM, you can ask for modifications to your vehicle, such as left foot accelerators, hand control capability, adaptive electronic controls, steering wheel extenders, dropped floors, raised roofs, and reduced-effort braking systems. The majority of rental car companies also provide surrogate drivers for an additional fee.
  • In a small city like Bridgeport, most people drive to work. The traffic is a little congested in the morning and the evening as people drive to and from work. Additionally, Bridgeport is in the middle of a convergence of highways, including interstate Routes 8 and 25. The city also gets busier and more crowded during summer due to many festivals and visitors to the zoo. All these factors contribute to traffic build-up in Bridgeport. Nonetheless, the congestion clears out quickly, and you won't spend hours in traffic.
  • Observe the stringent seat regulations that are in effect throughout Connecticut when using cheap car rentals in Bridgeport with your child. According to these regulations, a kid under the age of 3 or under 20 lbs. must always ride in a rear-facing convertible seat or an infant seat. Your child must always travel in a booster seat or any other certified child restraint device if they are between the ages of 1 and 6 or weigh less than 40 lbs. Depending on your child's age, you can always request any specific child seats from Bridgeport car rentals. But, there is a daily cost for each of these services.
  • While driving your car rental in Bridgeport, be weary of children prone to jaywalks. Additionally, watch for them as they get on and off their buses on roadways and follow the flashing signal light system. If you think you might get lost in the city as a new traveler, install a navigation system in your rental car to assist you.
