Rather than dealing with the hassle of picking up your vehicle from the busy city center, you can simply grab a New York LaGuardia Airport car rental instead.

There was no clear information. I was charged something pretty different from what I reserved. The car nearly broke down. The car was almost empty when I left and I had to ask the person checking me out about it. I am never renting from budget and/or this location ever again.

Gina, Feb 2021

Pros:

Clerk was helpful until I noticed a mistake in the booking and then she said she had no way to correct it.

Cons:

I had booked a one way car rental for La Guardia with a Drop off at Logan airport. When I called to ask if I could pick up the car a day earlier the customer service rep, said "yes" and also that I would save $25 . When I got there the clerk told me that the reservation said I was returning it to LaGuardia. I said that wasn't what I had told the clerk and she refused to honor the lower rate and if that wasn't enough she would't even give me the original price but said now I'd have to pay $80 more than my original reservation. I walked out and got another car from Thrifty. They made the mistake and they should have honored the price quoted. At least the original price, so I. don't think I will book with Enterprise again.

Comfortable vehicle. But it only had 3/4 of a tank even though the form said it was full. It also had low tire pressure and low washer fluid.

The whole process was smooth, especially once I got to the rental counter. I waited for almost 30 min for a shuttle along with many other people as shuttles from other rental agencies passed by multiple times. The driver was very patient and professional even though a few customers mistreated him because they were upset about the wait time. I thought he handled it extremely well. So I would recommend making sure there are always plenty of shuttles.

Cons:

The shuttle from rental place to terminal took over 40 mins from return time to finally having a bus to take us to terminal. About 4 folks including myself missed out flights. The terminal is only 1 mile away. It was lunch time, I guess it was more important to have lunch than take care of the 20 folks waiting on the shuttle to terminal

Supplier choice

Clarity that manager choice included electric cars would have been nice. I was trying to be helpful, but I couldn’t guarantee I could return an electric car charged, so I avoided the electric managers choice option, but they still tried to give me one. I had to pay more to get a non-electric car, when I could’ve paid the same if I had just picked a specific gas car originally. Also the return was really weird. Someone without any hertz clothing or ID tried to have me give him the keys in White Plains.
