KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Fairfield

  • Fairfield is a small but rapidly growing city located just outside of Cincinnati. Renting cheap car rentals in Fairfield can be a great way to explore the surrounding area and experience all that southern Ohio has to offer. Having Fairfield car rentals gives you the flexibility to travel at your own pace and on your own schedule unlike public transportation, which can be crowded and inflexible. This is particularly true if you're planning to visit some of the attractions, smaller towns, and villages in the area. For example, you can visit the Cincinnati Zoo, Newport Aquarium, the Cincinnati Museum Center, and the Kings Island amusement park.
  • Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is approximately 95 miles from Fairfield. The rental car offices are located on the first floor of the parking garage across from the terminal building. There is a shuttle bus service to take customers to and from the terminal in order to pick up their Fairfield car rental. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is approximately 31 miles from Fairfield. The rental car offices are located in the consolidated Rental Car Facility (Conrac), which is a short distance from the terminal building. There is a shuttle bus service to take customers to and from the terminal.

Person running store was friendly. We got all paperwork done and had to return to get car. Car was not in the front of store had to go in back lot and find. Car was not washed. Key fob battery was almost dead and kept beeping at us every time we started the car. Inside of car had a smell. Had come home and clean windshield from bugs that were on there when we got it. But the car got good gas mileage and got are elderly mother to her youngest sons wedding. I have had cars from this location before and was just a little disappointed in the experience this time.

Staff were as friendly as they could be, given the circumstances. Poor inventory and cleaning practices severely impacted our experience, as our original booking for a large SUV (from more than six months ago) was not able to be fulfilled. The mid-size SUV we received instead was absolutely filthy and required two hours of interior cleaning prior to our trip.

I reserved a vehicle online, arrived during business hours to find no employees present. There was a sign on the door that said they were out back cleaning; however no one was there. I waited for someone, along with a few other customers, for around 45 mins. An employee eventually arrived and said he had been driving for the last hour. He then informed me that they don’t actually have ANY available cars and the only way I could be helped is if I wanted to drive 30+ miles to an airport location. So I was not able to rent a car at all even after waiting all that time, making the reservation, and having a confirmation.

Pros:

The Staff was not helpful at all when I was trying to get the vehicle I rented. I rented an SUV for Sat. at 10:00 AM - I went to pick it up and they told me my rental was not until Sun. I had made a mistake on the date and I admit that. They did not have anything to rent to me and said I had to wait until 10 AM on Sunday. I tried another Enterprise location on line and they said they had an SUV for me. I went to get the rental and they did not have it --- they only had a pick up truck. Luckily I had not cancelled my original reservation. I went on Sun. to pick up the SUV and there was nothing available. I was told my SUV had not been returned yet. There were several SUV's in the parking lot but I was told they were rented to other people. Even tho I was there first they would not let me take one of the SUV 's on the lot. I had rented one also - why did my rental not count. I was told to go back home and they would call me when my rental was there. Now I am not only leaving town a day later than i wanted to, I don't even know if they will have a vehicle for me. At 11:00 I was called and they told me they got in touch with the people who rented the car they were reserving for me and that they should return it by noon. They asked if that was too late. I said absolutely it is already too late and waiting until noon and still not knowing if it would be returned was unacceptable. I asked if there was anything else that I could rent. They said they had an Altima if I wanted that. To get on the road, I accepted. I asked for a cheaper rate because I rented an SUV and they gave me a car. I was told they would look into that. When I returned the car I was told the rate was cheaper but according to my records, it was not. The vehicle service light was on from the moment we left Enterprise. Due for oil change. I'm so glad we didn't break down. It was a very stressful situation all around. I didn't feel I was treated right. There were SUV's on the lot but I wasn't able to get one even though I had rented about a month in advance. My reservation didn't seem to count. I've rented many times from Enterprise with no problems but this was not at all what I expect out of a car rental company. I used to work at Avis in Sarasota and we never had to turn anyone away mad.

Cons:

I could have gotten a car when I needed it so my vacation wasn't off to a bad start. Very Stressful situation. I should have gotten a discount since I didnt' get the SUV that was originally rented.
