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.

Pros:

The car was fine.

Cons:

The drop off fee is OUTRAGEOUS for a one way rental. Also do NOT purchase the advertised insurance. It's a scam. When I picked up the car they informed me it was basically pointless, and I had to purchase theirs too. $33 down the drain.

Nothing they did not even have a vehicle for me when I got there. Offered no solution and never even called. Unprofessional and Hotwire end result I had to pay out of pocket extra and go to Avis. Neither enterprise or Hotwire have offered any agreeable satisfaction or offered to pay the difference. Poor professionalism

You guys need to get your stuff together and let people know that you have to pass a background check before renting a car. We are a company that needed a rental car to get an individual with disabilities to his Thanksgiving dinner with his family and Hertz would not let us rent a car, because his staff had to pass a background check. Thanks a lot Hertz for not letting someone with disabilities see his family. You guys are top notch! I'm sure each of you saw your family during the holidays. I will be sure and write a review on your guys page also, letting everyone know the quality of service you guys provide.
