KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bala Cynwyd

  • Enjoy unparalleled convenience and freedom when exploring different parts of the city by opting for car rentals in Bala Cynwyd as opposed to public buses or taxis. With a rental car, you can easily access the major stadiums like Lincoln Financial Field, home to the Philadelphia Eagles, without adhering to fixed departure schedules or routes as is the case with the public transport system. The flexibility of Bala Cynwyd car rentals allows you to make the most of your time, comfortably accessing areas that may not be easily reached by public transport.
  • Accessing Bala Cynwyd car rentals at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), which is the main international airport serving the city, is effortless. Upon arrival at any terminal (A-West, A-East, B, C, D, E, or F), follow signs to the baggage claim area. There, you'll find a unified Rental Car Shuttle that transports you to the Rental Car Facility on the Ground Transportation Level. A wide array of rental companies awaits, providing options for every preference. This streamlined process ensures you can quickly obtain a rental car upon landing, enabling you to seamlessly embark on your Bala Cynwyd journey or explore beyond.
  • When driving car rentals in Bala Cynwyd, remember Pennsylvania's strict car seat laws for children. Children under 2 must be secured in a rear-facing car seat, and those between 2 and 8 require appropriate booster seats. Expect a mix of driving styles in the city, from laid-back suburban roads to busier areas. Most drivers generally adhere to traffic regulations, but you should always drive cautiously because a few cases of violation of traffic rules may occur. If you are new in the city, consider having a GPS app in your car to help you navigate the city like one of the locals.
  • One of the challenges you are likely to experience using car rentals in Bala Cynwyd is navigating the complex intersections like the City Avenue and Monument Road junction. This can be particularly tricky if you are new in the city. During rush hours, which occur at around 7:30 am to 9:30 am and 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, most of the roads in the city experience heavy traffic, with City Avenue and Belmont Avenue being the most affected. Maneuvering through the city during such times demands patience and awareness.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience while renting a car. At first I was annoyed by the $400 security deposit that I was unaware of, but after weigh all factors, it was only a minor annoyance. The staff were super kind and friendly. They moved with efficiency without making it feel rushed. They smiled. The car was in excellent condition mechanical as well as cleanliness. Highly recommended.

friendly staff, on-time pickups, nice cars, minimal wait. I will pay a little more if I have to (but usually don't need to), just to rent from there because it is a good experience every single time.

Pros:

I generally like renting from enterprise. I have a location about 2 blocks away and run over and rent for road trips. Most always with good results. 1 time I had an issue where they said there was damage-but I had turned in the car on the weekend and dropped the keys. I will never do that again. I always want to have them look at the car and verify condition when I turn in.

Cons:

This reservation was a problem from the first. I had originally made a reservation for thursday in NJ to turn in in dc 4 days later. I cancelled and then went to a reservation for friday to dc in 3 days. But I wanted to get the car on Thursday after all. So I went in and picked up a car. It was supposed to be nj to dc-but in the hassle of getting it converted over, it was stated as nj to nj location and included slp which I didnt ask for. When I later recognized this, I did call the nj office and make sure the turn in was dc. The other problem-turnin was at the dc rr station at 50 mass avenue. It was utter chaos and took me forever to find out that I had to go 2 blocks around the terminal and go up in the parking garage to turn it in!!!!!!! And then(like my previous reservation) there was no mention of a drop off charge. So I ended up paying $80! If there is a drop off charge, it should be included in any reservcation which shows 1 way rentals!

Pros:

I loved that the rental was close; they were willing to pick me up or bring me to my home (that latter was a real lifesaver). The car had great mileage, and really held a LOT of stuff, as I was moving someone. They were very chill about extending the rental as needed, and staff were very friendly.

Cons:

I felt a little unclear on the rate and how long it was for. Kayak priced a 5 day rental, pretty good price considering that every rental was high. I extended that by one day, then rushed back to not pay for yet another day--but found out belatedly that it was their quote for a week, and I actually had a whole extra day with the car. It would have been great if someone had explained that to me. Saved some stress. Also the car smelled of cigarette smoking. After they sprayed it was better but never went away.

Pros:

The customer associate was friendly.

Cons:

Needed a passenger van for a small tour with a band. Booked a month in advance. Was called the day before and told they had no vans and couldn't get one. Gave us a subarban. We couldn't fit all the gear in the van and one of us had to squish uncomfortably in one of the seats. We had to travel without some important items because we couldn't fit them

I had to wait at least half hour to pick up the car. They should have at least 2 people working at a time. The person who helped me was nice but I wish I didn’t have to wait that long.

I was flying in to Philadelphia and the pickup for my car was away from the airport with no shuttle. So I had to change my rental.

I thought the rental was at the airport in Philadelphia. After waiting in a line for over 30 minutes we were told the rental sight was in west Philadelphia. At least a 20 minute ride in a not very good section of the city. To get a car from the airport for a2 day rental was an additional $260 over what we had already paid. We never rented a car and needless to say we will tell them about the false advertising. We were not toldthat the facility is not at the airport and you have to find your own way out there. It was a terrible start to a family reunion weekend. Shame on you hertz

They were terrible to work with. I booked a car to pick at the airport they messed up the reservation and had my car 14 miles away instead. They would not give me a car at the airport unless I agreed to a $600 price increase! Outrageous! Top it off, where they did have my car (14 mikes across downtown Philly) it was closing soon so I could not get it in time even with taking an Uber. Long story, much hassle on the phone, no help in person. I finally gave up and I went with Dollar rental car instead. I will never use Hertz again.

Car wasn’t at Philadelphia airport we had to take a cab to another hertz rental after 1.5 hours of waiting in line. Additional cost $85. We almost missed rehearsal dinner and didn’t have time to go to hotel and change. Over 3 hours lost because of poor customer service.

I didn’t like the fact that I made a reservation two months before my vacation. I received an email that everything was well n ready for pick up. And on the day of pick up there was no car! Available for me nor was even given an option of another vehicle. Regardless of the info I had. And on top of it all they really refused to return my money back! Being the company’s fault! I had to start a call to my lawyer and in reference to that call they returned my money. Very disappointed and I didn’t think I would have to go thru this type of inconvenience. Never have I had a problem like this.
