Cheap car hire at El Paso airport
Top tips for hiring a car at El Paso airport
- Car rental at El Paso Airport is convenient compared to other transport options because you don't have to wait for a shuttle bus or outside the terminal. This is a great option if you are in town for just one day, flying out at night, and not renting a car until tomorrow. The car rental process here is simpler and less time-consuming than at many other airports around.
- The most common cars at the airport car rental center include compact, intermediate, and full-size vehicles. You can also rent a minivan, SUV, or luxury car. An SUV works best if you have a lot of luggage or are traveling with children. On the other hand, a minivan is better for larger families. When you make the reservation, be sure to say if you need an extra driver and mention any special needs that may require hand controls for driving.
- This airport is usually busy between the hours of 7 am and 9.30 pm. To avoid too much hassle, opt for a car rental at the airport on either end of this time window. This said, the best time to rent your car at El Paso Airport is usually in the morning.
- When you need to return your car rental at El Paso Airport, simply call the rental company and they will come to collect your vehicle. Some companies have return booths in downtown El Paso, which is about 15min from the airport. When you return it, be sure that no damage has occurred during your stay as this can cause delays in returning the car or even a denial of service altogether.
- Book your car hire at El Paso airport at least 2 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
The vehicle was perfect for our trip.Cons:
Let customers know they must have a major credit card to rent a vehicle. The first representative that I spoke to when I went to pick up the rental was very rude, did not help. He was very sarcastic which was very upsetting because at that moment I thought my air b&b had been paid for I did panic and your representative did nothing to help again was extremely rude. I finally was able to get my brother to go to the airport drove from the west side to help me rent the car your second representative was extremely nice, helpful and professional I wished I would have gotten both their names.8,0 Very Good

Nov 2019
Pros:
Price was ok. No line at pick-up (which should have warned me)Cons:
It took two people ten minutes to check me out (not including actual car pickup). During that time, I saw another person in line leave out of frustration. The car they rented me did not have a remote key, even though it should have had one. Only one door lock on the whole car. Had to lock the doors before closing, and I accidentally locked the key in the trunk once, which required me to call AAA. I'm positive they charged someone else that expensive key replacement fee in the past, and never got a new key.10,0 Wonderful
