KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Wallingford

  • Renting a car from one of the top car rentals in Wallingford is prudent, particularly if you want to extensively explore this city and attractions in neighboring cities and maintain a budget. A rental car will help you extensively explore Wallingford, given that it will afford you the freedom to move from one attraction to another at whatever time you like and check out the attractions in North Haven, East Haven, Portland, Woodbridge, Cromwell, Wolcott, Hamden, and Naugatuck, as they're short drives away. It will help you stay within your budget because the costs of renting and fueling a rental are incredibly lower than those brought about by moving around in a taxi.
  • The closest airport to Wallingford is New Haven Regional Airport (HVN). Two car rentals in Wallington, notably Avis and Budget, feature offices at this air transit hub. Their offices are around the terminal's baggage claim area, while their designated rental car spaces are just outside the building. Since the demand for rentals at this airport is ever high, if you'd like to rent a car here, it's in your best interest to reserve it in advance.
  • To achieve a smooth driving experience in Wallington, always watch out for other motorists. Over the last couple of years, plenty of speeding, distracted driving, and aggressive driving instances have been witnessed. Although local authorities have been making concerted efforts to minimize such cases, it doesn't hurt to look out for yourself. In populated parts of the city, some pedestrians cross the road without considering incoming traffic. This being the case, when in such parts, watch out for pedestrians.
  • Like other significant towns in Connecticut, Wallington experiences heavy traffic in two waves. The first wave usually lasts from about 7:00 am to 9:00 am, whereas the second wave normally runs from about 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The roads you should try and avoid during these periods include U.S. Highway Route 5, Interstate 91, State Highways Route 150, Route 15, Route 68, and Route 71.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Wallingford are around 69% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

The staff was very helpful and reassuring. He showed me the exactly where and how to return the key.

Cons:

The light on the oil/engine were both on when I got the car. Thankfully, it was probably just a sensor!
