KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Vandalia

  • Driving car rentals in Vandalia is a wonderful way to see this small city, a suburb just north of Dayton, Ohio. In Vandalia car rentals, you can see who you want when you want, without being restricted by public transportation schedules or transit stops. In car rentals in Vandalia, you can visit local attractions including The National Museum of the US Air Force, Carillon Historical Park, and the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center. You will also have the freedom to explore places such as Columbus to the east, Detroit to the north, Indianapolis to the west, and Knoxville to the south.
  • Located about 3 miles west of downtown Vandalia, the Dayton International Airport (DAY) makes the ideal location for picking up car rentals in Vandalia. Once you exit arrivals at DAY, walk straight ahead across the roadway to where you will find the building housing rental car counters, immediately adjacent to the parking garage and long-term parking lot. The cars will be parked just outside the building housing the car rental counters, and this is also where you will return your rental cars.
  • Those driving car rentals in Vandalia will experience relatively stress-free driving. Even during the peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm, Vandalia traffic and nearby Dayton traffic will add only 5 to 10 minutes to your travel time. The average commute time in Vandalia is far lower than the national average, which is good news for those traveling to Vandalia for business. Vandalia has an active bike culture, so those driving car rentals in Vandalia in nicer weather must stay vigilant for those on bicycles and remember to always give them the right of way.
  • One area you might want to avoid driving in Vandalia, if possible, is National Road near the entrance and exit ramps to I-75. Because there are so many warehouses built near Dayton International Airport, which is adjacent to Vandalia, many commercial trucks tend to cut through Vandalia to get to I-75, and they tend to cause traffic congestion. Outside of downtown Vandalia, the city tends to have a rural feel to it, which means that you need to be aware of wildlife darting into the road. If you see a deer, for instance, stop and let the deer cross and wait to see if there are other deer following.

If you will be visiting family and friends in Vandalia and will be driving around with a number of people, a larger vehicle such as a larger sedan or an SUV might be a better option. If you want to save money on your trip to Vandalia, consider a smaller car such as a compact or economy car or a small sedan. This kind of car will help you save on fuel costs as well as rental costs.

  • What's the speed limit in Vandalia?

    The speed limit on National Road, a major road running east-west through Vandalia, is 35 mph. Most residential areas and more built up commercial areas in Vandalia have a speed limit of 25 mph. Speed limits in school zones are reduced to 15 mph on weekdays. Interstates such as I-70, running east/west, and I-75, running north/south, have speed limits of 65 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Vandalia?

    Most businesses in Vandalia, including superstores, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars have their own parking lots that offer free parking to customers and visitors. Most parking is free on residential streets, though you need to be aware of posted signs that restrict when or for how long you can park. Street parking in downtown Vandalia is also usually free. However, if you drive into downtown Dayton, you will find metered spots that cost about $0.25 per every 30 minutes.

Horrible. The morning of my family trip I took an uber to the location to pick up the vehicle I had reserved months ago. I was told they had no vehicles and I could wait to see if someone brought one back, but nothing was guaranteed. I waited hours and nothing ever happened. I finally had to uber back home. Luckily there are new sites out there where people rent vehicles and I was saved. I still spent $100 in uber fees and hours of my time because how unprofessional budget is.

Horrifically shitty. I had to make a change to my reservation so I called Avis and was informed they can't change anything on my reservation and I'd have to go through Kayak where I'd made the reservation. I was never able to contact Kayak but found where the site said any changes to the reservation had to be done through the renting agency. Completely worthless, I cancelled the reservation being left no other choice and when trying to rebook the same day, prices had more than doubled. 100% unsatisfactory, I rebooked through another provider and will not be using Kayak in the future.
