  • Renting cheap car rentals in Windsor can provide numerous benefits and advantages, especially for travelers and tourists. With Windsor car rentals, visitors will have the convenience to travel at their own pace and explore the city and its surroundings on their own schedule. Renting a car in Windsor can also be a cost-effective option compared to other transportation methods, especially because you can find a wide range of affordable car rental options that suit your budget and preferences. It also makes it easier to explore popular attractions and destinations outside the city, such as Gillette Castle State Park, New Haven, and Mystic Seaport. You can also easily access Bradley International Airport and Hartford city center.
  • Bradley International Airport (BDL) is located approximately 10 miles south of Windsor. The rental car offices at BDL are located directly across from the terminal building in the Airport Car Rental Center and passengers can take a shuttle bus from either Terminal A or Terminal B to get to the Rental Car Center.

Cons:

The car was given to me in a parking garage, where it was a little dark so I didn’t see a few imperfections on the vehicle, but I didn’t have a problem when returning the vehicle. The staff didn’t record the gas correctly, so they thought I owed a balance when returning the vehicle at a half tank. Overall it worked out fine.

Charged an extra $250 premium for picking up at airport even though they did not reveal that when I made reservation. Hertz informed me I was supposed to pick up car downtown. But that location was closed on day I arrived so they never should have confirmed the price of the 7 day rental online. But they did.

Pros:

Very friendly and helpful! My problem is with Priceline. They scheduled this at a downtown location, which after I got off the airplane had no way to get to before closing. System shouldn’t have allowed. I selected BDL airport and couldn’t have known what street the car rental places are. Avis worked with me but airport fees made the care over $100 more. I won’t be ordering from Priceline again. I will order from Avis directly. They are great.

Cons:

Pros:

The convenience and service I received at the time of pick-up and drop-off. Easy and seamless.

Cons:

I have never rented from Avis before but I have rented a car with other companies prior to this experience. I expected the Avis employee to walk with me to the vehicle and inspect the vehicle prior to me leaving with the vehicle. That did not happen. I was handed the keys and told I was all set. I walked to the car and noticed that it was dirty inside, leftover papers in the trunk and wrappers in the back door. About half way through my 750 mile commute I received a maintenance required notification on the dashboard for the rear seatbelts. I didn’t use the rear seat belts at all during my trip. The notification continued to prompt every time I would start the car. Just didn’t make me feel safe that all services/recalls weren’t serviced prior to letting a customer take the vehicle as a rental, especially with my lengthy trip.

Landed in Bradley Airport expecting a one day rental from Avis only to find out that my sister made reservations out of Hartford (Avis). This was NOT by any means Avis’s fault, just an inconvenience because I was there for a funeral traveling with my wheelchair bound mother. The thing that I wish Avis could make a deeper dive is convenience especially in the age of technology. Our flight and rental were purchased as s packaged and if the technology could have flagged that is was NO way that we could have made it to Hartford from Bradley by 6:00pm to pick up a rental when our flight landed at 6:27 pm. The good news is that we were able to get a ride from a family member. Thank you.

When I arrived to pick up my rental there were 5 people in front of me all waiting for their rentals. I was told there were no rentals at that time and I would have to wait until the clerk’s supervisor called and told her what to do. She had no idea when I would get my rental. I left there with a Ford Explorer which is a far cry from a Kia compact at about 3:30 pm. I waited 21/2 hrs for that. The clerk was efficient, but the wait and the fact that there was no car waiting was inexcusable as I had a reservation. Why did I reserve a rental at all ?

Upon pickup in Hartford, the employee was very unwilling to review scratches and damage prior to the trip and there was a lot. Employees were using vulgar raciest language with each other directly in the presence of several customers. Generally, terrible pickup location in an unsafe neighborhood.

I was never given the car! The attendant was extremely rude as she wanted to go home. The location closes at 3pm, but my pick-up time wasn't until 3pm. I called earlier in the morning to see if it was possible to pick up the car any earlier, but I was told that wouldn't be possible. I arrived on time, but there was a substantial line ahead of me. By the time she got to me her frustrations were high. I'm an American, but have lived and worked abroad for the last 6 years. I've had licenses in California, Connecticut, Ghana, and now Qatar. I reserved this car to get from CT to Boston to catch my flight back to work in Qatar. People from all over the world rent cars every day. I presented her with my Qatari driver's License, but she would not provide me with my reservation nor allow me an opportunity to present any needed supplemental documentation. She walked away from me to assist another customer in the lot. I pleaded with her to please asssit as I was trying to catch my flight that day, but she would not help and said they were closed. I asked her to please cancel my reservation if she would not help me to which she shook her head no as she walked away from me. Not only did I inconvenience someone for a ride to the car rental place, but they also had to wait and take me back with them. I also had to catch a Lyft to Boston which cost me an additional $174.99 unexpectedly. I heard many complaints from the customers ahead of me which were not dealt with appropriately. I will never book a car from that location again.

When we got the car after the first night, it was in our driveway. The tire pressure was down in one of the tires, and we had to add air every morning to the tire for the entire time we had the car.
