Jan 2020
Pros:
Being this was my very first experience using Alamo, I was impressed with the ease of reserving, picking up, and returning a rental. Every staff member I encountered was professional, helpful, and courteous. The initial price of the rental was better than I had expected. I look forward to using Alamo again!Cons:
The initial payent of the rental was low, but he final payment upon return was $20 more because we forgot to fill the tank! Overall our rental experience was excellent! My advice: be sure to gas up before returning the vehicle!9,2 Wonderful
Jan 2020
Cons:
Only suggestion / request would be to have the windows cleaned before rental. They were covered with the road salt solution which created a lot of glare from headlights at night. Not being used to the vehicle or the location, it was bit of a driving hazard.Budget

Pros:
The staff at Buffalo changed my rate on an upgrade instead of just an additional $10. I was very pleased with the drop off for the manager was able to correct the mistake that was done.Cons:
The whole process of dropping off at a different location was good but please pay attention to the pickup location. Make sure you are getting what was quoted to you and save the email with your confirmation information. I questioned it before I left, but it wasn’t corrected but thankfully it was on the other end.6,8 Okay
Dec 2018
Pros:
The car itself was a hybrid, so very economical. It was a nice drive also and had Apple CarPlay.Cons:
The car I was given was switched at the last minute between the desk and the pick-up kiosk. This particular car looked like a family of 4 had a food fight in it, and it reaked of deodorizer and cigarette smoke. The stains were kind of embarrassing, but I didn’t have time to deal with the hassle of calling and swapping it out.10,0 Wonderful

Top tips for hiring a car at Buffalo Airport
- A great feature of car rental at Buffalo Airport (BUF) is that they have six major rental car companies that most travelers are familiar with. What is even better is that all six of the companies have their customer service counters on the first floor of the Ground Transportation Center that is right across the street from the terminal building. All the cars that they have available for rent sit in the parking lots of the Ground Transporation Center that is adjacent to the terminal building, just outside of the baggage claim area. The cars are one floor down from the customer service counters in the parking structure.
- When you are ready to return your car rental at Buffalo Airport, follow the ample signage you will find along Highway 33 as you approach the airport. Once you are on the airport property, proceed to the Ground Transportation Center and head to the appropriate location for your rental car company. Once you're there, park and lock your car and note your gas level and mileage. Take your keys and your contract and hand them to a staff member or simply drop them in the dropbox.
- Since this is an airport that serves a rather large city, you can find several transportation options to get you from the airport to the center of town. The only problem with these modes of transportation such as buses and taxis is that they can be a problem both in terms of how you're going to transport all of your things and in terms of the ongoing cost of using them. That is what makes car rental at Buffalo Airport such a great combination of convenience and cost savings.
- Like a lot of major airports in the United States, this airport experiences busier times throughout the day. For travelers that are arriving on flights at this airport and plan on renting a car, you should expect the busiest time of the day will be between 3 pm and 6 pm and then again from 10 pm until midnight. During these times you should expect longer wait times to pick up your Buffalo Airport car rental. That is one of the reasons it is vital to book a car before your trip to this airport.
- Book your car hire at Buffalo Airport at least 5 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
