KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lockport

  • Car rentals in Lockport, NY, can save you time compared to waiting for and transferring between public transportation options. You can go directly from your starting point to your destination without detours. Public transportation may have limitations in reaching certain remote or less accessible areas. Having a Lockport car rental allows you to easily reach attractions and destinations that may not be well served by public transit, including Lockport Nature Trail, Upson Park, the Widewaters Marina, and the Kenan Center.
  • If you are arriving in Lockport, NY, by air, you can land at Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG) or Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF). Both facilities have car rental facilities, and travelers can pick up their Lockport car rentals as soon as they land. At IAG, the car rental counters are located near the baggage claim area in the terminal building. However, the car rental facility at BUF is a short shuttle ride from the terminal. Whatever your choice as the arrival airport, you will find popular car rentals in Lockport, including Alamo, Avis, and Budget.
  • Roads in Lockport generally adhere to standard road widths, but some older or residential streets might be narrower. These narrower streets might require additional attention and care when driving Lockport car rentals, especially if parked cars reduce the available road space. In urban areas and around schools, you'll likely find pedestrian lanes or crosswalks to ensure the safety of pedestrians. Drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
  • Lockport, NY, generally experiences less severe traffic congestion than major urban centers. However, like any community, there can still be increased traffic and congestion, especially during certain times of the day. Rush hour in Lockport occurs in the mornings from around 7:00 am to 9:00 am and in the afternoons from around 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. During these times, you might experience slightly heavier traffic as people commute to and from work or school. As such, consider skirting around notorious snarl-ups, like South Transit Street (Route 78), Robinson Road, and Lincoln Avenue. Getting a GPS in your Lockport car rental can help you avoid rush hour traffic.
  • Book your car hire in Lockport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Lockport are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average

I had an AWFUL experience with the Hertz group in the Niagara Falls NY region. 1) I knew Wednesday, the day before that I was going to be delayed by an hour picking up the car on Thursday, and tried 6 times to call. Several times the line hung up, one time it said it was busy and the last time a message said they were closed for the day (an hour before published closing time at 5pm) 2) when I arrived, I discovered that it was nothing but a rented beat-up desk in the corner of car repair office (Amherst Automotive) with NO Hertz staff on site. The car repair shop, of course, who rent to Hertz, took no responsibility for their customer service, nor did I want them too. But I HAD NO WAY TO GET IN CONTACT WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF THAT SITE! Finally, one of the repair shop managers called a number for the Hertz general manager and the Hertz rep said he would be there in 30 minutes. It took at least 45. While I was waiting another Hertz customer came in with the exact same problem I was having. She left though. When the Hertz rep finally arrived, the young man apologized and said that it was Hertz management who was stretching 3 workers over 4 offices and that they only turned up when a customer was expected. He gave me a dispensation to not return the car full as atonement for the trouble. RETURNING THE CAR WAS EVEN WORSE. I had to return the car on Sunday afternoon instead of Monday, but again, I could reach no one by phone, and there was NO Hertz drop box, and the number posted on door by Hertz gave a number that didn't answer when they were closed (I also happened to know that it doesn't answer when they are open either!) I called 4 different Hertz numbers, one I had been given by the Hertz attendant on Thursday, the one listed in the Hertz Niagara website, the one at the Niagara Falls Airport (that one the Hertz attendant said always worked---evidently not). Finally I called the national one, and was online two different times, waiting for a total of two hours standing there outside the closed repair shop. While we were waiting with awful wait music and advertisements blaring, (miraculously for a Sunday afternoon) one of the repair shop's employees came out from the building. He called HIS manager, who gave him permission to put the keys on the Hertz desk along with a note from me. Meanwhile, when I DID did finally get a live person...somewhere in the Philippines I think, that person didn't seem to understand what I was needing ("What do I do with the keys???") and she shunted me off to another person for a 1/2 hour's wait. The second Philippine lady finally said she had sent an email to the Hertz Niagara telling them that the keys were on the desk. I had taken a video of the car just to be safe, and took a picture of the keys and the note and the rental agreement for the same reason. I have NEVER EVER had such terrible service or seen such a completely unprepared system even in the back country of South America or the outer Greek Islands, where I've rented cars.
