KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Niagara Falls

  • Welcome to the thrilling American side of the natural wonder that is Niagara Falls. Home to one of the world’s most iconic tourism sites, the area of Niagara Falls is a bucket-list destination for worldly lovers of spectacular and impressive sights. Having cheap car hire in Niagara Falls will be your passport to exploration as you make your way around Niagara Falls State Park, Prospect Point’s Observation Tower, Niagara Gorge Discovery Center and so much more that puts this city on the map. If you are looking for some glamour, take a weekend trip up to Manhattan, about 7 hours away via the 1-80W motorway.
  • If you are approaching Niagara Falls from the American side, you will probably land at Buffalo Airport (BUF). Order the ideal car for your trip through KAYAK and land with the knowledge that it will be waiting for you as you start your adventures off the right way. You will find an Avis and Budget based on site at the airport waiting to assist you.
  • Booking car hire in Niagara Falls is a wise way to get around while you are planning your big trek up to the Falls. You will abide by US road rules, which means driving on the right-hand side of the road. The motorways and road networks are well maintained and should lead to smooth driving. Stay under a 0.08% blood alcohol limit and remain buckled up at all times behind the wheel. If you are taking kids on the trip, it is vital they remain buckled up in car seats until four years of age. Mobile phone use while driving is prohibited, and in the States, you will be expected to keep horn use to an absolute minimum.
  • A challenge while using car hire in Niagara Falls could be the weather conditions. Despite summer having decent weather, the mist in the area makes it quite wet as you get closer to the park. You will also find winter is a bad time to visit, as snow on the roads makes the roads pretty hair-raising in places. As this area is one of the most visited tourist spots in the world, you can expect congestion in the form of cars and tour buses to sometimes get in your way or take up all the parking. Plan your trip with advice from a GPS.
  • Standard hire cars in Niagara Falls are around 61% cheaper than other car types, on average

Always use road signs as the true indicator of speeds, as they are sometimes altered to accommodate road conditions or bad weather.

  • Where are the best places to park in Niagara Falls?

    Looking for parking in Niagara Falls could be challenging at different times of the year, with summer being more frustrating when looking for on-street spots. There are some areas where street parking is allowed, and they will be visible with metered systems.
