KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Westport

  • You may take advantage of numerous benefits and completely explore Westport neighborhoods by using car rentals in Westport. When you rent a car, for instance, you can decide on the shortest routes to your locations and have total control over your schedule. Having a car allows you more freedom than depending on Westport's fixed-route public transportation system. You may find it much simpler to see well-known Westport sites, such as the Westport Country Playhouse and Sherwood Island State Park if you use Westport car rentals.
  • For residents and visitors who want to use car rentals in Westport, the Westport airport is Bridgeport (BDR) Airport, which is only 12.2 miles from the city center, offers an easy access point. Some of the car rental agencies  with locations at BDR include Sixt, Budget, and Enterprise. There are several advantages available to customers who choose to pick up their rental vehicles at BDR Airport. When choosing BDR as their Westport car rental pick-up location, for instance, customers may select from a wide variety of rental automobiles and use their chosen car models.
  • When considering the option of getting a car rental in Westport, there are several key factors to bear in mind. For example, it is necessary to utilize booster seats when traveling with young children who are under seven years old or below the height of 4'9" to ensure their safety. Renting agencies in Westport impose an additional fee for the use of these seats by drivers. It is crucial to drive with caution in your Westport car rental to prevent any wrong encounters with law enforcement officers in downtown Westport and the city center, as they will enforce traffic regulations.
  • Driving a car rental in Westport may be challenging due to the heavy traffic on weekdays in the morning and evening rush hours. Many of Westport's major roads, more so Interstate 95 (I-95) and Merritt Parkway (Route 15), usually get congested between 6:50 and 8:00 in the morning. In the late afternoon, between 4:00 pm and possibly 5:30 pm, there may be a similar pattern of congestion. It is advised that you leave at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time if you plan to drive a Westport car rental on Interstate 95 (I-95) and Merritt Parkway (Route 15) between these hours of the day.
  • Supplier choice hire cars in Westport are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

Bad reception, information not clear, aggressive staff, all they want is to sale you extra insurance after they ask you to provide them with your own insurance and coverage and show them your insurance card to take a picture of it.. They wanted me to take the rented car with empty tank and return it with empty tank ( which is not easy to do ) instead of a full tank. Thant is all I can remember so this is the last time I rent with Entreprise !
