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.
  • Book your car hire in Clifton Park at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Supplier choice hire cars in Clifton Park are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average

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.

Pros:

Staff remained professional and friendly in poor working conditions

Cons:

Leave the pick up inside the airport and have someone deliver the cars to the door or have a golf cart to take the customer out to the car, it is very difficult dragging all your luggage out to a garage not knowing where your going. A handicapped person (me) will not do it again because I have bad legs and was so sore and tired when I finally got in the car I should not have been driving especially a car I’m not used to. And no there was nobody around to offer help just a sign saying go outside where our staff is working in a dark dingy shack !

Car check over could have been done better. The driver's side mirror would not stay in place and I had to rely on the yellow warning lights on the mirror that a vehicle was near me at times.

Renter was rude, dis,issive, had no cars to choose from, car was not properly srviced or cleaned. needed oil change entire time AND console had over 20 pills in it so I know it wasnt cleaned. asked to be notified if a smaller class (such as one I reserved) comes avail and never called in over 6wks time, saw others on the lot. Overall felt cheated and disrespected as a customer. Too bad I cannot get a refund! And Im a GOLD member! Imagine that.

The manager of hertz,Latham n.y. Realized that the truck we had reserved was totally inappropriate for our needs and abilities and replaced it, when there really was nothing available, with a far more appropriate car. Thank you to him. We would have been quite unhappy with the truck.

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.

Pros:

Staff at counter was friendly

Cons:

--Staff at counter was unable to be reached by phone. Drove 3 1/2 hours each way (NYC --> Albany) to drop off old rental and pick up a new one, then was told at counter that I needn't have made the drive in the first place and I could've just kept the original rental. --Car smelled of cigarettes. Was told to just write down the issue on my rental agreement. --Staff at counter was unable to be reached by phone a second time (and I called over 20 times). This became an issue when I had to extend my new rental. --Toll-free customer service was completely useless when I contacted them to voice my concerns. --In a word, Avis = terrible. I've been an Enterprise customer for 12 years, and I'm kicking myself for using Avis this time.

Terrible experience! They gave us the wrong car. We paid for a full sized suburban and they gave us a midsize suv. When we called about the mistake they said they would refund at dropff and then we got there, they didn’t know how and said we needed to call. I was on the phone for 2 hours and never got done

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.

When I checked in at the counter, the rep had me sign papers saying the car had a full tank. Once I arrived at the car, I noticed the car was only had a 1/4 tank of gas and the mileage did not match. I was in an extreme hurry to make an appointment and I did not have time to wait in line at the counter again because there were about 20 people in line. I have pictures of the gas tank and mileage to share if I can send to someone via email. I would just like to be refunded $35 to pay for that extra gas I had to buy because I returned it on a full tank. Again, I signed the original paperwork saying I would return in on a full tank because I was told the car was on a full tank. The fact the license plate matched the paperwork but the mileage was not correct tells me someone just made a honest mistake. Can I get a refund for $35?
