KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Vandalia

  • Driving car rentals in Vandalia is a wonderful way to see this small city, a suburb just north of Dayton, Ohio. In Vandalia car rentals, you can see who you want when you want, without being restricted by public transportation schedules or transit stops. In car rentals in Vandalia, you can visit local attractions including The National Museum of the US Air Force, Carillon Historical Park, and the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center. You will also have the freedom to explore places such as Columbus to the east, Detroit to the north, Indianapolis to the west, and Knoxville to the south.
  • Located about 3 miles west of downtown Vandalia, the Dayton International Airport (DAY) makes the ideal location for picking up car rentals in Vandalia. Once you exit arrivals at DAY, walk straight ahead across the roadway to where you will find the building housing rental car counters, immediately adjacent to the parking garage and long-term parking lot. The cars will be parked just outside the building housing the car rental counters, and this is also where you will return your rental cars.
  • Those driving car rentals in Vandalia will experience relatively stress-free driving. Even during the peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm, Vandalia traffic and nearby Dayton traffic will add only 5 to 10 minutes to your travel time. The average commute time in Vandalia is far lower than the national average, which is good news for those traveling to Vandalia for business. Vandalia has an active bike culture, so those driving car rentals in Vandalia in nicer weather must stay vigilant for those on bicycles and remember to always give them the right of way.
  • One area you might want to avoid driving in Vandalia, if possible, is National Road near the entrance and exit ramps to I-75. Because there are so many warehouses built near Dayton International Airport, which is adjacent to Vandalia, many commercial trucks tend to cut through Vandalia to get to I-75, and they tend to cause traffic congestion. Outside of downtown Vandalia, the city tends to have a rural feel to it, which means that you need to be aware of wildlife darting into the road. If you see a deer, for instance, stop and let the deer cross and wait to see if there are other deer following.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Vandalia for $50 or less
  • Medium rental cars in Vandalia are around 17% cheaper than other car types, on average

Horrible. The morning of my family trip I took an uber to the location to pick up the vehicle I had reserved months ago. I was told they had no vehicles and I could wait to see if someone brought one back, but nothing was guaranteed. I waited hours and nothing ever happened. I finally had to uber back home. Luckily there are new sites out there where people rent vehicles and I was saved. I still spent $100 in uber fees and hours of my time because how unprofessional budget is.

The only things I didn’t like were the excess of air freshener in the car and the difficulty of figuring out cruise control, which I never did.

Horrifically shitty. I had to make a change to my reservation so I called Avis and was informed they can't change anything on my reservation and I'd have to go through Kayak where I'd made the reservation. I was never able to contact Kayak but found where the site said any changes to the reservation had to be done through the renting agency. Completely worthless, I cancelled the reservation being left no other choice and when trying to rebook the same day, prices had more than doubled. 100% unsatisfactory, I rebooked through another provider and will not be using Kayak in the future.
