KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Pittsburg

  • Renting a car from the car rentals in Pittsburg offers flexibility and convenience over public transport options like buses. With a rented car from the Pittsburg car rentals, you can easily explore attractions like the Crawford County Historical Museum and Big Brutus. Additionally, reaching farther sites like the Little House on the Prairie in Independence or the beautiful Elk City State Park becomes hassle-free. Therefore, the comfort of flexible personal transportation makes renting a car a favorable choice for efficient sightseeing and accessing nearby destinations.
  • Joplin Airport (JLN) is among the major airports serving Pittsburg, KS. It is, therefore, the main airport for most travelers flying into Pittsburg, KS. If you plan to rent a car after deplaning from your flight, please note that car rental offices are within the terminal building, just a short walk from the baggage claim. Among the onsite car rentals providing a range of choices for rental cars at JLN are Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Hertz.
  • Before renting a car from the car rentals in Pittsburg, it is important to research and familiarize yourself with some of the primary driving norms in Pittsburg, KS. Like most cities in the US, you will be expected to maintain the right lane driving unless you are overtaking. When approaching busy residential and downtown streets, be keen not to hit jaywalkers and bicyclists who may enter the road unexpectedly. If you are to travel with kids under 8, please budget an appropriate child seat. These may include rear-facing seats for infants under 2, forward-facing seats for toddlers under 5, and a booster seat for kids under 8.
  • Besides the rush hour traffic often realized on most major roads, including the busy Forbes Avenue from around 7 am- 9 am and 5:30 pm–7 pm, you may find driving your rented car from the car rentals in Pittsburg confusing. Since some of its streets are not on the grid system, you may find yourself going over the wrong bridge, especially on Liberty Avenue. This may result in an unwelcomed long detour. Additionally, driving your rented car from Pittsburg car rentals during winter may pose significant challenges since most roads are affected by snow.

    A Standard car hire in Pittsburg costs R2 860 per day, on average.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Pittsburg, KS?

    A compact car is among the most recommended cars to rent from the car rentals in Pittsburg. Its smaller size makes maneuvering through the city's narrow streets and navigating tight parking spaces easier. Additionally, Pittsburg's urban layout and moderate traffic conditions align well with the efficiency of a compact car. Choosing this car type ensures convenient and stress-free city exploration while providing comfortable seating for up to four passengers.

  • What's the speed limit in Pittsburg?

    Since the speed limit in Pittsburg varies depending on the area you're driving in, you'll have to be observant to notice a change in the posted speed limits when driving your rented car from Pittsburg car rentals in different zones. Generally, the speed limit is 30 mph in residential areas. The speed limit is typically reduced to 20 mph during active hours in school and church zones. On highways surrounding the city, such as US-69 and US-160, the speed limit can range from 65 to 75 mph, while business centers may have varying limits, often around 35 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Pittsburg?

    For convenient parking options for your rented car from the cheap car rentals in Pittsburg, you have to prioritize reserving your room in a hotel with complimentary onsite parking. Alternatively, you can budget for public metered parking options. Among the popular parking lots to consider reserving in Pittsburg are those near Lincoln Park, Block 22, and the Pittsburg State University campus. Their parking fees range from $1.00 to $1.50 per hour.

It was such a good experience. I got to my pick up location, signed in with the agent, and was out of the lot with my rental car in less than 20 minutes! I also got a free upgrade to the car that I drive daily, so that was an extra perk. My travel plans changed, and the Enterprise team was able to accommodate my new plans within minutes! I will be using this company in the future!

Snow and ice could’ve been removed from the car at our 4 PM pick up, there was plenty of time that day to make sure the car was cleaned off

Woman who "helped" was rude, store was filthy. Woman tried to get rid of us multiple times cause we had questions about the car that had been set aside for us. Car was more of a compact than a mid size! Multiple times she tried to get us to leave and go pick up from another location. Had "issues" with my card, even though it showed green. Said her system was denying us. So we went to enterprise. In. Out. No issues. Didn't even take 30 minutes. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Pros:

Staff was great.

Cons:

The office was closed at the time of my reservation. I booked a mid-sized SUV and was given an older minivan.
