KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Burlington

  • Burlington car rentals offer a number of advantages compared to other available transport options such as trains, buses, and taxis. Key among these advantages is the higher flexibility. You can drive your rental car to any place in the city at any time you want. You can use the car as a store for your personal items and move around with them conveniently. Waterfront Park is one of the places you can visit using your rented car and have some door outdoor experience.
  • Booking car rentals in Burlington when you arrive at Burlington International Airport allow you to enjoy self-drive when accessing different destinations in the city. All the major Burlington car rentals, including Enterprise, Alamo, and Hertz, have onsite desks within the terminal building. However, because of the large number of drivers using the airport as the pick-up location for their cars, it is advisable to reserve your car online prior to arriving at the airport. This helps you to reduce the time you would spend in the queue and ensures you don't miss on your preferred car type or brand.
  • When driving in Burlington, always remember that the culture of jaywalking is rampant among pedestrians. It's quite common for a person to jump into the road, just in front of your car, and expect that you should not hit them. The same mentality is also common among drivers. Many of them change lanes without signaling the vehicles behind them. Therefore, it is your responsibility to keep an eye on the car in front of you and maintain a safe distance from them.
  • The convenience of using car rentals in Burlington reduces when driving on different roads in the city during the morning and evening rush hour periods. Most of the roads experience heavy traffic from 7 am to 9 am and later from 4 pm to 7 pm. Although nearly all roads in the city are affected during this time, the most affected one is Main Street. If you have to use this road, consider departing about 20 min earlier than the supposed time.

Hertz was closed on the day that I dropped off . No one told me that I'd get charged for that since they were not opened on that Sunday. I'm use to RDU Hertz where they're opened 7 days a week . Plus the car I got had a few issues .
