KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Norwich

  • Car rentals in Norwich, CT, offer several advantages that can enhance your travel experience and provide convenience and flexibility. You can explore Norwich and its surrounding areas at your own pace. You can easily visit attractions, restaurants, and shops without being dependent on public transportation schedules. Also, Norwich is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, historic sites, and natural attractions. With a rental car, you can easily reach remote attractions that may not be easily accessible by public transportation, such as Mohegan Park and Yantic Falls.
  • While there are no airports directly located within Norwich, Bradley International Airport (BDL) is the most convenient option for travelers flying to or from the area. Many major Norwich car rentals have counters at the airport, making it convenient for travelers to rent a car upon arrival. They include Hertz, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, National, and Alamo. The Rental Car Center is in a separate building from the main terminal, and there is a dedicated shuttle to get you there.
  • Connecticut, including Norwich, tends to have a strong emphasis on pedestrian safety. Drivers are generally expected to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, and you might notice a more cautious approach to pedestrians at intersections. In addition, Norwich has historical sites and landmarks. You might encounter signage or traffic patterns related to these attractions as you drive car rentals in Norwich through the city. Moreover, Norwich is not a major urban center, so you may find that some roads are narrower compared to highways or major city streets, requiring you to drive cautiously, especially in areas you're unfamiliar with.
  • Norwich, CT, is not typically known for experiencing severe traffic congestion like larger cities or urban centers. However, roads can get congested in the morning (7:00 am to 9:00 am) as residents go to work or drop off kids at school or in the late afternoon (4:00 to 6:00 pm) as they return home. Therefore, consider using navigation apps that provide real-time traffic updates or checking local traffic reports before you set out on your journey. In winter, the area experiences snow, ice, and cold temperatures. As such, consider using winter tires, which are designed to provide better traction in cold and snowy conditions.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Norwich are around 66% cheaper than other car types, on average

I think I'll avoid electric cars for a while longer. Trying to charge that car prior to its return was a challenge. I don't believe we as a country already to go all electric yet.

Everything was fine but the car smelled of cigarettes. And I had no option to select a preferred car that was available like most car rental agencies do.

Car had a hole in the tire, so I had to drive the whole way on a flat tire. Also, the rental center was closed when I got there. I returned the rental to their 24 hour center instead, and they charged me $200.
