KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Plattsburgh

  • As the city does not have a very extensive public transportation system, it is typically best to use car rentals in Plattsburgh to travel throughout the area. By having access to Plattsburgh car rentals, you will be able to explore town on your own schedule and comfortably. With a rental car, it’s also easier to go to parts of the region that are a bit of a further distance from the city center. For example, there is Cumberland Bay State Park, which is around a 20 to 25min drive from the city center. There is also Plattsburgh City Beach, which is around a 20min drive away as well.
  • If you will be flying to the region, you can always choose to pick up your car rentals in Plattsburgh from Plattsburgh International Airport (PBG). PBG has its own car rental center that is conveniently placed in the Arrivals area of the Main Terminal. There are a few different companies to choose from in this center, including Avis, Budget, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Each company keeps its fleet just a short walk from where their offices are placed.
  • To operate car rentals in Plattsburgh as conveniently as possible, it’s usually best to make sure that you are familiar with different driving rules. For example, any child under the age of six must always be in a proper child’s seat at all times. Drivers and all passengers are always required to wear a seatbelt while in a moving vehicle. Make sure to always yield to pedestrians, even if it is in an unmarked crosswalk. Always make sure to leave two seconds of space between you and the car in front of you.
  • If you don’t want to get stuck in a traffic jam, it’s always best to try not to be on the road during rush hour, which is typically between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. Some roads that are known for being particularly congested during these times include Margaret Street and Highways 9 and 22. In the winter months, this area often gets snow and rain, so make sure to be extra careful if you are on the road during these conditions.

Staff left and closed office despite having my planned arrival in the system. Customer service refused to do anything. Ended up paying for taxi and Hotel myself. No posted number to call for late arrivals, service. Used Enterprise Rental the next day and they treated me like a human who matters. Cannot recommend Enterprise Rental more.

This was the worst car rental experience we've ever had. Cars were not available at planned pick up time. Long line of agitated customers and basically no one at the counter to help. Counter help was outside cleaning cars. That is a completely messed up system having counter help be responsible for cleaning cars. I will not use Avis again at this location or other locations based on this worst-case experience.
