KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Clifton Park

  • When traveling alone or with your family, consider booking car rentals in Clifton Park car rentals. If you're traveling with children, Clifton Park Commons should be at the top of your list of must-see attractions in the city. Although the rental cars more expensive than public buses, they offer greater flexibility. You are not restricted to certain routes and departure times with a rental car, as is the case with public buses.
  • The main international airport near Clifton Park is Albany (ALB). Clifton Park's city core is 8 miles away. If you wish to use car rentals in Clifton Park, ALB is one of the best places to pick up your automobile. Although ALB's automobile rental facility is not located within the terminals, it is easily accessible after landing. All the major vehicle rental companies in Clifton Park, including Hertz, Enterprise, Avis, and Budget, provide courtesy buses to transport their passengers from the airport to the car rental facility.
  • When driving around Clifton Park, keep an eye out for jaywalkers, especially on roads near the core business center. Despite the fact that jaywalking is banned in Clifton Park and throughout California, it is still common to witness people crossing roads without first checking for incoming traffic. To prevent hitting any of these people, it is always a good idea to drive your rental car at a slower and reasonable pace at all times.
  • The ease of using car rentals in Clifton Park vanishes when you drive through the city during the morning and evening rush hours. The situation is frequently worse in the afternoon between 3 pm and 5 pm, especially on Fridays. During this time, the most affected roadways are Sitterly Road and Route 146.  It is preferable to avoid taking these two roads if you have an alternate route to your destination.
  • Standard hire cars in Clifton Park are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for renting in Clifton Park?

    Because most of the roads in Clifton Park, except for a few major highways, are tiny, a compact car is an excellent choice. This car not only fits well on narrow streets, but it can also fit into tight parking places. Aside from that, the type of car you should rent in Clifton Park will be determined by the amount of persons and/or luggage you are traveling with. For example, if you are traveling alone or with only one other person, an economy car is a decent choice. You can get one from any of the Clifton Park car rentals locations.

  • What’s the speed limit in Clifton Park?

    The speed limit you need to observe when using car rentals in Clifton Park varies based on the route or zone you are in. The default speed limit in Clifton Park, however, is 35 mph unless otherwise indicated. Residential neighborhoods and school zones are among the areas where speed restrictions may be reduced to as low as 20 mph. On major highways, on the other hand, the speed limit can reach 65 mph.

  • What are the best places to park in Clifton Park?

    Clifton Park Rest Area is one of the best areas to park your car on a regular basis. You can pay for parking at Clifton Park Rest Area by the hour or by the day, depending on how long you want your rental car to stay. If you want your automobile to be parked for less than three hours, the hourly rate of $1 per hour is suitable. If your car will be parked for more than four hours, a daily charge of $3 per hour will be appropriate. Apart from this, hotel parking is also another suitable option, especially among those who are spending some time at one of the hotels in the city.

Everything was fine but we thought we were getting a Toyota but we got a Kia. It was ok but would have preferred the Toyota.

Could not find the booking when picking up. Car was covered in salt and had not been cleaned from previous customer. When dropping off they could not find the booking and asked me again what the rate was per day.

We had to change our pick up time due to delays. We tried calling the Albany location MANY times but no one answered. Then we called Avis directly and they said there were no cars available if we changed our time, even though we had booked a vehicle. We ended up with no car and had to find alternate transportation. Terrible customer service!

Perhaps a quick run down of all the controls and options on this particular car would have been helpful. I struggled with figuring out how to use the cruise control etc.

I was lied to, overcharged, and spent many days on hold with the horrible customer service in Albany. I will never rent from Avis again.

Cons:

Staff needs to clean the cars inside and out before renting. I went inside a vehicle and it wreaked of cigarette smoke. It was disgusting. Another vehicle wasn’t clean on the outside.

The rental was quick to pick up and drop off. It was the exact vehicle that I requested. I recommend Budget to everyone.

I picked up my rental very late at night and was handed keys and told to bring it back charged. I didn’t realize it was fully electric. Unfortunately that made for a terrible experience.

They rented all their cars to others due to a diverted flight. They ignored all the reservations people had made, including mine. I only got a car last minute, after waiting in line for over 30 mins, when a lady decided not to drive a huge Suburban, so I took that.

Easy pick up and drop off. Reservation was for a minivan but we got a Denali. Would’ve preferred a minivan because the trunk in the Denali was very small and a minivan trunk is great. Biggest problem was that the car absolutely reeked of marijuana. We thought it was the garage and drove away incorrectly assuming that. Tried to contact customer service when we realized it was the car, but it was late at night and they didn’t open until the next morning. They did offer a car exchange but we were an hour away at a family wedding and didn’t have the flexibility in our schedule to make the trip back to the airport.
