KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Plattsburgh

  • If you plan to tour Plattsburgh, your trip might coincide with the celebrations of a significant event or festival. To this end, it won’t be surprising to encounter challenges when you sit behind the wheels of cheap car rentals in Plattsburgh. For instance, If you arrive in early June, expect to find the locals and other guests marking Plattsburgh Great Strides at Melissa Penfield Park. The city hosts Lake Placid Holiday Village Stroll in early December at the Lake Placid Main Street area. Major roads leading to these events are diverted, resulting in congested streets, building up to the car rental centers.
  • When driving cheap car rentals in Plattsburgh, adhere to the New York traffic laws to avoid punitive penalties. Ensure that every passenger in the car buckles up a safety belt. Kids aged four or younger must be restrained in appropriate rear-facing safety seats. At the same time, children under eight must be fastened into booster seats. Like other cities in the United States, motorists in Plattsburg keep to the right and overtake on the left. Whereas you can right-turn at a red light, always watch the sign. Distractive driving is prohibited, such as using an electronic device like a cell phone behind the wheel.
  • Plattsburgh car rentals impose certain restrictions on renters from foreign nations. All renters must be 21 or older and pay for the car using a major credit card. In addition, some agencies impose a surcharge on renters below 25 and restrict SUVs and luxury cars to those aged 25 or above. The name on the card must correspond to that on the passport. Furthermore, you must present a valid driver’s license from your home country and a recent photograph. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required if your driver’s license is not written in the Roman alphabet. If you have difficulties acquiring an IDP, plan to get a professional hand-written translation.
  • Book your car hire in Plattsburgh at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Plattsburgh are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average

Staff left and closed office despite having my planned arrival in the system. Customer service refused to do anything. Ended up paying for taxi and Hotel myself. No posted number to call for late arrivals, service. Used Enterprise Rental the next day and they treated me like a human who matters. Cannot recommend Enterprise Rental more.

Pros:

I was never informed that the drop off in Mooresville was during business hours so I had to travel 20+ miles to find the office was closed. Very inconvenient that I had to return the next day.

Cons:

Being notified that Mooresville office was closed with no after hour drop off. Plattsburgh pick up was excellent.

This was the worst car rental experience we've ever had. Cars were not available at planned pick up time. Long line of agitated customers and basically no one at the counter to help. Counter help was outside cleaning cars. That is a completely messed up system having counter help be responsible for cleaning cars. I will not use Avis again at this location or other locations based on this worst-case experience.

Pros:

The man at the counter was very nice.

Cons:

The car smelled of smoke, was an older car (2019) and had a big dent in the rear side of the car.
