KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Catskill

  • Car rentals in Catskill offer enhanced flexibility, allowing you to explore the city at your own pace and enabling access to remote areas, many of which are not accessible by public buses. With a rental car, you can easily reach the picturesque Kaaterskill Falls and explore the scenic Catskill Mountains, which are among the most visited sites in the city. When you rent a car, you gain the power to control your schedule, including the departure times and suitable routes to your destination.
  • You can conveniently get Catskill car rentals at Albany International Airport (ALB), the nearest major airport to Catskill, NY. At ALB, the car rentals are conveniently located at the Rental Car Center, accessible via shuttle buses from the terminal. The shuttle service operates at regular intervals, ensuring easy access to rental car offices. It's advisable to book in advance prior to arriving at the airport in order to secure your preferred vehicle and streamline the process.
  • When driving in Catskill, be mindful of a few things for an exciting experience. For instance, beware of deer, especially during dusk and dawn, as they might cross the roads. Be prepared for occasional narrow and winding roads in the Catskill Mountains. In these two cases, it is advisable to always drive your car at lower speeds whenever possible. Lastly, respect pedestrian crossings and be cautious around pedestrians, particularly in downtown areas. It is common for some pedestrians to cross the road without checking for oncoming vehicles.
  • You will experience notable challenges using car rentals in Catskill during rush hours, which occur from around 7 am to 9 am and later in the evening from around 4 pm to 6 pm. Traffic is heavy on a majority of roads during such times, with Route 9W and Route 23 having the worst situations. Winter months can bring challenging driving conditions due to potential snowfall, affecting roads like Route 23A towards the Catskill Mountains. It's recommended to monitor weather forecasts, use snow tires, and drive cautiously during snowy conditions. Additionally, fall foliage season can attract heavy tourist traffic, especially along scenic routes, potentially causing delays.

We selected a Hyundai Elantra online but were given a different vehicle with only 1/2 tank of gas. The employees didn’t even ask if a substitute vehicle was okay. Was also charged an absurd 20% tax, which is more than 4x the tax rate of our home state VA and which is 2x the tax rate of the state we rented from, NY. Nobody told us about that tax rate and it came as a total surprise. Probably won’t rent from Hertz again.

I went to pick up my car 10 minutes early than the scheduled pick-up time (pick-up time was noon and I arrived at 11:50 a.m.) and the location was closed. I was not able to pick-up my car. Instead I had to take a $100, one hour Uber to Albany as that was the closest location for me to pick-up another car. Then I had to pay DOUBLE to rent from what I had paid Kayak/Enterprise. I am extremely disappointed and I will not be using Kayak to book again.

Pros:

I like how the person that helped me when I picked the car up. She was amicable and replied to my questions in a great manner.

Cons:

The gentleman that worked with me when I dropped the car was rude and borderline xenophobic. His attitude was not professional. I wouldn’t rent a car from that office again.

Pros:

Excellent service with renting the vehicle. answered all the questions we had about the GMC we rented. Drop off was easy .

Cons:

I didn't care so much for the model I rented for the long trip we took, there were a lot of little things ,not Avis fault but GMC the way they designed the car. I can go on and on about this but If I had to rent another car I would come back to Avis. by the way this is a great way to check a car out before you buy! I would not buy this GMC SUV. but my next trip I would definitely go back to Avis.
