Top tips for hiring a car at Ithaca Tompkins County airport

  • If you are traveling with your furry friend, you can still get car rentals at Ithaca Tompkins County Airport (ITH) to accommodate them. However, there are some requirements for pet owners looking to transport their pets in rental cars. Most providers require you to crate your pet when in the car. Moreover, ensure you return the car free of pet dander to avoid cleaning or detailing fees.
  • Disabled drivers are welcome at the Ithaca Tompkins County Airport car rental center. No matter your challenge, there is a rental car for you. Blind customers will get additional drivers free of charge, while those with physical challenges will have rental cars adapted to their needs. Provided you mention in advance, you can have spinner knobs, pedal extenders, swivel seats, wheelchair lifts, or hand controls added to your rental car.
  • If you want the best car for driving in this region, you can go for the best-rated vehicles at Ithaca Tompkins County Airport. This is usually a good way of knowing which cars offer great service in the region. For Ithaca Tompkins County Airport, the best-rated vehicles are economy vehicles, compact vehicles, and intermediate sedans.

Very friendly and competent staff at both pickup and drop off. Helpful under difficult circumstances.

Cons:

Initially we were told that no car was available despite our reservation, making me panic. Issue was resolved though.

Cons:

The original car smelled of smoke. I asked to change the date of the rental and if that would also change my rental price. I was told no, but later they charged me more and unfortunately there was no way to dispute it since it was my word against theirs.

Pros:

Cars were not at quality of what was charged for rental.

Cons:

Would have appreciated a cleaner car. Other than that staff was very helpful and kind. Don't appreciate the absurd change of price when checking car out. Guess that's what happens when you get a car rental from a third party seller.

Passenger van

KAYAK
The vehicle provided was fine, but not the one/size reserved. Rented an 11-passenger van months ahead (to transport a wedding party). Got the rental, and it was a 7-passenger Yukon Denali. The person at the counter said, "we never get 11 passenger vans here." The rental person was totally unhelpful. She said they usually call people in advance to warn them, but for some reason, they didn’t call us. She said they'd be glad to rent us a second Yukon (at full cost to US!). After we expressed our dissatisfaction, she said she could check Elmira or Syracuse and we could drive there to exchange it. After calling, no passenger vans were available. They charged us over $1900.00 for a week long rental that we couldn't even use for the wedding. We ended up getting an ACTUAL 11 person van from Enterprise and our Avis rental sat in the driveway all week. I will never recommend Avis to anyone!

Pickup was excellent, drop off not so much. I dropped off at 5am, so there was no one around of course. My proven stems from trying to get details on the drop off. Something like this would have been helpful "For the Syracuse airport, follow the signs for rental car return, being careful to not go into long term parking. You will turn into the parking garage just before passenger drop off lanes. Once inside, for Avis, drive past the first few rows that say other rental companies. Find an open space in the Avis section and park. You will bring your rental agreement and keys(and your fuel receipt if you topped off gas) inside the terminal. You are supposed to write your mileage on the rental agreement, but I had no pen and neither did the Avis counter. Also the place I got gas didn't give me a receipt at the pump, so other than a full tank I had no proof I got gas, no pen to leave a note. You will most likely come in the center entrance of the terminal and Avis is to your left(north). The drop box for the rental agreement and keys is well marked"

Everything was going perfectly but after dropping off the car I got charged with extra $30 and I was not sure where that was coming from. Probably never going to use KAYAK, other rentals might be bit expensive but at least they never charge you snikey extra money.

Pros:

You idiots! The rental was cancelled 5 minutes after it was made. There was no rental event. Why don't you know that? You have no back-feed from Hertz to your system?? I got notices from you that my car was ready, which was totally wrong and made me have to contact Hertz again. So much for using cheapflights again.

Cons:

Cheapflights could have done their job and understood the situation.
