KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Pittsburg

  • Renting a car from the car rentals in Pittsburg offers flexibility and convenience over public transport options like buses. With a rented car from the Pittsburg car rentals, you can easily explore attractions like the Crawford County Historical Museum and Big Brutus. Additionally, reaching farther sites like the Little House on the Prairie in Independence or the beautiful Elk City State Park becomes hassle-free. Therefore, the comfort of flexible personal transportation makes renting a car a favorable choice for efficient sightseeing and accessing nearby destinations.
  • Joplin Airport (JLN) is among the major airports serving Pittsburg, KS. It is, therefore, the main airport for most travelers flying into Pittsburg, KS. If you plan to rent a car after deplaning from your flight, please note that car rental offices are within the terminal building, just a short walk from the baggage claim. Among the onsite car rentals providing a range of choices for rental cars at JLN are Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Hertz.
  • Before renting a car from the car rentals in Pittsburg, it is important to research and familiarize yourself with some of the primary driving norms in Pittsburg, KS. Like most cities in the US, you will be expected to maintain the right lane driving unless you are overtaking. When approaching busy residential and downtown streets, be keen not to hit jaywalkers and bicyclists who may enter the road unexpectedly. If you are to travel with kids under 8, please budget an appropriate child seat. These may include rear-facing seats for infants under 2, forward-facing seats for toddlers under 5, and a booster seat for kids under 8.
  • Besides the rush hour traffic often realized on most major roads, including the busy Forbes Avenue from around 7 am- 9 am and 5:30 pm–7 pm, you may find driving your rented car from the car rentals in Pittsburg confusing. Since some of its streets are not on the grid system, you may find yourself going over the wrong bridge, especially on Liberty Avenue. This may result in an unwelcomed long detour. Additionally, driving your rented car from Pittsburg car rentals during winter may pose significant challenges since most roads are affected by snow.

It was such a good experience. I got to my pick up location, signed in with the agent, and was out of the lot with my rental car in less than 20 minutes! I also got a free upgrade to the car that I drive daily, so that was an extra perk. My travel plans changed, and the Enterprise team was able to accommodate my new plans within minutes! I will be using this company in the future!

Woman who "helped" was rude, store was filthy. Woman tried to get rid of us multiple times cause we had questions about the car that had been set aside for us. Car was more of a compact than a mid size! Multiple times she tried to get us to leave and go pick up from another location. Had "issues" with my card, even though it showed green. Said her system was denying us. So we went to enterprise. In. Out. No issues. Didn't even take 30 minutes. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Pros:

Staff was great.

Cons:

The office was closed at the time of my reservation. I booked a mid-sized SUV and was given an older minivan.
