KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Oswego

  • Car rentals in Oswego, New York, are an easy, affordable, and convenient way to discover everything this coastal town has to offer. Oswego is located right on the shores of Lake Ontario, giving you easy access to attractions like Fort Ontario Historic Site. There is public transport in Oswego in the form of buses, but these only run Monday through Friday, so you will need a car rental especially if you are planning a weekend trip. With your car rental, you can drive along the shore of the lake or head inland into Syracuse for the day.
  • The closest airport to Oswego, New York, is Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) in Syracuse. This is a great place to pick up car rentals in Oswego as it is served by a number of well-known car rental agencies. You will find these agencies in the center terminal on the first level of the arrivals area. Another nearby airport is Watertown Airport (ART). The car rentals here are located directly in the arrivals area near baggage claim.
  • Driving car rentals in Oswego is fairly straightforward. While New Yorkers are known to have a bit of an aggressive driving style, this town is small enough that you won’t encounter many of these drivers here. People generally follow the rules of the road and the roads themselves are well-maintained, making for an easy driving experience when you’re behind the wheel of Oswego car rentals.
  • Driving in Oswego car rentals can be challenging during rush hours, which occur between 7 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 7 pm on weekdays. Driving car rentals in Oswego will also be challenging in winter, as the area is prone to severe winter weather such as snow and ice. It may also be wise to equip your car rental with chains or winter tires. If you are visiting during winter, always check the weather reports and traffic conditions before setting out.

Pros:

It only took about 15 mins. total to check in and pick up car. Not pushy on insurance or extras. Vehicle was excellent, not one problem. got an SUV and the gas mileage was much better than expected.

Cons:

I wish he'd spent a little more time showing me the important accessories, it started to rain on the way home and I couldn't figure out the wipers until I got home, but I did know how to drop the back seats and turn on the seat warmers. Some of this on me, I was in a hurry. Overall, great experience.

The salesperson was great and kind very accommodating but the experience of the car was a nightmare 😕 I had no back wiper and the front wiper flew off while I was on 1-95 😕 going to Florida then the window got stuck in a downward position where I could not roll it back up for 6 hours of the drive and it rained and snowed with freezing weather but I don't blame Enterprise for the car behavior they had no way of knowing these problems and they were very compassionate and accommodating to the situation and they addressed it all my needs and insisted on making it up to me 👍 I would choose enterprise again and recommend them to others because of the way they handled the problem 😁

Cons:

When I signed up for the car which was a one way trip from NY to NC it asked me when I would pick up the vehicle and when I would drop it off. I entered 8:00am pickup on Sunday, drop off before 6:00pm Monday. I dropped off at 4:00pm. Hertz didn't have that information so instead of paying $216 I wound up paying $390 and I am less than happy. $15.75/hr plus addl for anything over 24 hrs. Find this unfair and wrong. Wont rent again through Kayak

Pros:

The vehicle was great for what we needed. Very comfortable. Was great having heated seats/leather interior and up to date technology.

Cons:

Upon pick up there were still candy wrappers from the pervious owners, and a few dirty spots in the car, which I ended up purchasing cleaning wipes for and wiping down myself, given “COVID” these days, I played it safe.

Pros:

After I got re-routed to a different airport, my 24-year-old son had to pick up our car instead. I was worried because I thought you had to be 25 to rent. There was a small fee associated with it, but he was able to pick up our car with no problems, last minute. Thank you!

5.6 Fair

Jan 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

Car was clean,

Cons:

Two hours into a drive that should have taken 4.5hours the transmission started to fail and there was no acceleration. Called roadside assistance but because I was in rural NY there were no pick-up locations nearby. I rented this vehicle to make a flight out of LGA and if I had waited for roadside assistance to finally get to me I would miss the flight. Despite repeatedly "resetting" the transmission I was only able to drive 40mph and even slower uphill. The drive was unsafe and unpleasant and what was a 4.5 hour drive became a 6 hour drive.

I was charged for the full rental despite bringing it back 4 days early. I was told “we can’t do anything about it” by the representative at the location.
