Top tips for renting a car in Williamsport
- When planning a vacation to Williamsport, one of the main concerns you may have is whether you'll be able to complete your itinerary within the timeframe you've set. Well, with a rental car, you will have the freedom to do so, as you’ll be able to easily drive to gems within and outside the city at your own pace. Within Williamsport, some of the gems you can visit include Millionaire's Row, a street lined with preserved Victorian mansions; the renowned Taber Museum, which features rotating exhibits on regional history; and the World of Little League Museum, a museum showcasing youth baseball. Outside of the city, you can drive your Williamsport car rental to fun attractions in Faxton, Gainesville, Duboistown, Sylvan Dell, and South Williamsport, all of which are within a 20-minute drive from downtown Williamsport.
- Williamsport Regional Airport, the city's primary airport, is only 5 miles east of downtown Williamsport. If you want to rent a car from one of the reputable car rentals in Williamsport upon landing at this airport, you’re in luck as it is served by major car rental agencies such as Avis, Alamo, Budget, Dollar, and Thrifty. Even though all these agencies serve have no on-site locations, they offer shuttles to their offices. Thus, to get your preferred car rental, you will have to take the shuttle it provides from the Ground Transportation Center outside the airport’s baggage claim area.
- You can expect a pleasant driving experience in Williamsport because the city's streets are wide and well-kept. However, keep an eye out for pedestrians who may cross the street in undesignated areas, particularly in downtown areas. It is also important to note that the city occasionally experiences winter storms, which cause snow and ice to quickly blanket the roads. As a result, if you are not confident in your ability to handle snow and ice, drive cautiously and check the weather forecast frequently to avoid being caught off guard by a storm.
- You will most likely not encounter serious traffic snarl-ups when driving your rental car in Williamsport. However, the roads leading into and out of the city can become congested during peak rush hour periods, which typically occur from 7 am to 9 am. in the morning and from 5:30 pm to 7 pm. in the evening. If you intend to get to or from the city center during these periods, it’s in your best interest to do allow yourself a bit of time to deal with the light traffic.

Jan 2018
Cons:
The address given for the pickup of the rental was not a good address. It sent us to a used car dealership that you can drop off or pick up a rental but not actually rent from said location. There is no Agent at that location, just like a sub contractor that transports the rental back and forth. When we arrived to pick up the rental we were met by a gentleman who called the actual rental location to attempt to remedy the situation. This is located at the Williamsport Airport. That agent said we could come there to obtain a rental but it would be at a different price which was 100 dollars more than said website price. There was no sense of making the customer happy or willingness to attempt to come to any form of compromise. So we ended up wasting 3 hours to find what we needed and rented from some where else.8.8 Very good

The car was very clean and we had no issues with pick up or drop off.Cons:
We thought the car was to fit 5 bags but it seems smaller than advertised. We were hoping to have something bigger to fit all our luggage in for vacation and it needed up being smaller than the car that we own.2.0 Poor
