Check out the best tips to choose between picking your rental car at the airport or an off-site location in the city!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to rent a car? Have you noticed there are a few options when you search for the perfect rental car for your needs? You can choose to pick it up at an airport or an off-site\/city location. Now the question is: which one is the best?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it depends! Let\u2019s talk about the advantages of each option so you make the best informed decision \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_picking_up_your_rental_car_at_the_airport\"><\/span><strong>Advantages of picking up your rental car at the airport<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Easy pick up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course the first advantage is an easy pick up for people who arrive at the airport. This is the reason why airport locations are so popular and might be the reason why you\u2019re considering it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in need of a rental car because you\u2019re out of town and plan on getting to your destination by plane, certainly the best option will be to pick it up at the airport. This isn\u2019t just easier, but it also saves money on the ride from the airport to the city when you get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to be considered before that, though, is the duration of your flight. Some people may feel a bit tired after a long flight and, in that case, it may be dangerous to drive \u2014 this is even more critical if you\u2019re going to a place you don\u2019t know well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your destination, renting a car at the airport is much safer than relying on public transportation or ridesharing services to get to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is specially important if your destination is a place you\u2019ve never been before. Unfortunately, there are some cases of illegal transport at airports \u2014 and worst of all: sometimes the tourists don\u2019t even realize they\u2019re at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renting a car at the airport means you\u2019re in control of the vehicle, the directions and roads you\u2019re taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Bigger fleets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, rental companies have bigger fleets available at airports, which means that the odds are in your favor when the demand is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However (and this is important!), the fleets may be bigger, but so is the amount of people looking for car rental at airports!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To guarantee your rental car for busy times, our tip is to always book in advance \u2014 a few weeks are usually enough for most locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_picking_up_your_rental_car_at_a_city_location\"><\/span><strong>Advantages of picking up your rental car at a city location<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Near the hotel, where you live or are staying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are at least a few situations a city location will be the best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, who said you\u2019ll only need a rental car when you\u2019re out of town? A rental car can be an option if you\u2019re road tripping with friends, if you need more space than what you have with your own car and so many other situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is your case, then renting at an off-site or city location may be the best for you, as these are most often closer to your address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also true if you\u2019re staying at an hotel or Airbnb, for example. If you\u2019ll only need the car for a part of your trip or if you\u2019d rather pick it up when you\u2019re rested from the flight, then the best option will be to pick the rental car at a nearby location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re staying near the city center or tourist attractions, chances are you\u2019ll have many rental companies to choose from within walking distance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Save on a few days the rental car won\u2019t be needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking up and returning the rental car at the airport sometimes means you\u2019ll need to rent it for days you won\u2019t really be needing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ll only need the rental car for a few days of your trip, maybe it will come cheaper to simply rent it for those specific days. However, it\u2019s important to do the math: sometimes the daily rate will become cheaper the longer you rent the car for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Extra fees at airports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the US and some other countries, airport locations charge an extra fee you won\u2019t have to pay at off-site locations. <em>This <\/em><strong><em>isn\u2019t<\/em><\/strong><em> paid separately<\/em> when you rent, but included in the usual fee charged by rental companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because non-airport locations don\u2019t charge this, the usual fee may be lower and you\u2019ll be able to find cheaper offers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_tip_compare_car_rental_prices\"><\/span><strong>The best tip: compare car rental prices!<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, the best tip is to always compare the prices and find the best offer according to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about this subject, we recommend reading out <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"pick up and drop off tips (abre numa nova aba)\">pick up and drop off tips<\/a> and our post on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rentcars.com\/en\/airport-car-rental-return\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"how to return a rental car at the airport (abre numa nova aba)\">how to return a rental car at the airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you\u2019re ready to book, you can count on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcars.com\/en\/?utm_source=blog-rentcars&amp;utm_medium=post-organic&amp;utm_campaign=categoria-tips\">Rentcars.com<\/a> to compare more than 100 rental companies all over the world.
