Top tips for hiring a car at Cinci./N. Kentucky Airport
- A car rental at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is a suitable alternative to other modes of transport like the bus or taxis. Not only does a rental car easily get you to your hotel, but it also allows you to move around comfortably during your time in the city. Car rentals are affordable compared to taxis for getting around the city. They also save on time, especially when compared to buses which operate on a fixed schedule and may be unavailable on certain days of the week.
- The rental car center at CVG is part of the terminal building, so renters should be able to access it easily without shuttle services. The car center is just a short walk from the baggage claim area adjacent to Ground Transport West. Counters are situated on Floors 1 to 4 from the baggage claim area. For instance, rental counters of agencies like SIXT, Budget, and Payless are on Floor 4, while Dollar and Hertz have counters on Floor 2.
- It's best to drop off your car rental at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport before the expiry of the rental period. You will incur a late return fee if you drop off the rental outside the time agreed with your provider. Moreover, you'll incur an additional if you make the drop-off outside the operating hours of your provider. When making the drop-off, follow the car rental return signs. Ensure you have recorded your mileage and fuel level before dropping the rental agreement at the counter.
- Do you want a smooth rental experience when you arrive at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport? Consider booking a flight that arrives at CVG between 9 am and 4 pm when the airport is less crowded and less busy. This way, you won't have to endure long lines at the rental counters, which can be frustrating, especially after a long flight. It's also best to fly to the airport during the weekdays as the airport tends to be busy on weekends.
- Book your car hire at Cinci./N. Kentucky Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
Cruise control on the 2019 Versa that I rented did not work. The cruise on/off button on the steering wheel was faulty. I rely on cruise control to keep me from speeding when I drive on the interstate freeway. Not having cruise control was a major inconvenience. Agent at counter was not clear as to what I was paying for, vis-a-vis how much gas I needed to put in the tank, before returning the car. If is unlikely I will rent from HERTZ in the future.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Cons:
The car had significant damage (Red car with dents and yellow paint transfer) when picked up. Advised service rep and asked her to view damage. She told me to fill out a form and said she wasn't going to view the damage. I was the only person at the lot picking up a car and the vehicle was maybe 50 feet from the door. Asked if damage had been previously reported. She didn't know? Gave her the form and took numerous photos. Also noticed while I had car that the left side doors didn't close properly, like the car had been in an accident. Not viewing the damage is unacceptable!10,0 Wonderful

I was charged twice for the rental. Once when I booked the rental through CarRentals.com, I paid $301.08 and was told I had to pay a remaining $86.01 at pickup. When I picked up the vehicle, I was charged a full $387.99.2,0 Poor
Jan 2021
Pros:
Nothing. There was absolutely nothing I liked about this company or my experience.Cons:
I booked this rental one week ahead of the day I needed it. I called ahead to be sure that I had every document that I needed and the method of payment would be accepted. I was told that I would be able to use my bank card and it could be run as credit (because it has the master card logo on it); just bring my social security card with me as a second form of identification. I have five credit cards in my name and making enough of a payment on one of them to be able to use it for the rental was well within means. However, I didn't think I needed to do that because I was told that I could use my bank card. I showed up to get my rental on the day I was supposed to. I was to leave town the next day at 5 a.m. I was told that, no, I could not use that card and, since I didn't pay my credit card bill enough to cover the cost of the rental, I had no car to use and no one could do anything for me at all. To be clear, I did not have a flight. I was renting the car local to use to go out of town for three days. I did mention this to the person that I called because I have never rented from near an airport before. They told me on the phone that everything would be absolutely fine. I asked twice, are you sure? I was told yes both times. Since it was noon and I needed the car the next day at 5 a.m., it was impossible for me to go to a different company to find a rental. Everyone needs a 24 hour notice. On top of all of it, I drove 35 minutes one way (this took about an hour and fifteen minutes out of my day) and the lady I spoke with when I went to pick up the car was extremely rude. I could not be more disappointed. Very, very bad communication and very, very bad service.4,4 Mediocre

Pros:
Quick drop offCons:
The salesman asked if I wanted to upgrade to a Charger for $18 extra a day so I said no. Then he’s looking over my shoulder as he’s filling out my paperwork and says wow they’re really fixing you up today and I turn around to see a very nice Cadillac sedan pull up. So I was like- for real? Is this an upgrade for free for some reason? He then stated no- just an option. This was very deceptive in my opinion. He was nice but I felt disrespected as though he thought I was stupid. I work for high end businesses in the financial district in San Francisco. I know a bad salesman when I see them. He was nice but pretty sly.8,4 Very Good
