Top tips for hiring a car at Lexington Blue Grass airport

  • If you want to enjoy convenience and comfort and move around in style during your trip to Kentucky, we recommend looking into a car rental at Lexington Blue Grass Airport (LEX). They are a much better alternative to taxis, airport shuttles, or buses. For instance, the bus only operates during the weekdays between 6 am and 6 pm, so you cannot rely on it if your flight arrives on the weekend or past 6 pm. On the other hand, taxis are more costly since they are metered, and fares are subject to change.
  • Grab a car rental at Lexington Blue Grass Airport from the spacious onsite car rental facility and be on your way to explore Kentucky and Orlando region. The rental car facility is right at the baggage claim area on Level 1 of the terminal, with agencies like Avis, Alamo, Enterprise, and Dollar ready to cater to your rental needs. The pick-up lot is right next to the terminal and accessible on foot. This makes the entire rental process quick, and you can be on your way a few minutes after your flight lands.
  • Return your rental to the car return center, just past the terminal, before you board your departing flight. The convenient location of our return center allows travelers to access the departures hall within minutes. Confirm that youโ€™ve taken all your belongings from the rental car before you lock it and return the keys to your providerโ€™s counter. Also, return it within the period specified by your provider to avoid any late-return fees. For after-hours return, park and lock the car, then place the car keys and completed rental agreement in the key drop box outside the counter.
  • If you want to quickly pick up and drop off your car rental at Lexington Blue Grass Airport, we recommend booking a flight that arrives or departs after 9 am. The airport gets busy during the morning hours, between 6 am and 9 am, which lengthens the process required to transit through the airport due to long lines. Similarly, avoid flying into the airport during the Kentucky Derby Week as the airport experiences an increase in passengers.
  • Book your car hire at Lexington Blue Grass airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I was unaware that I needed to have my credit card with me. When I booked the rental, it didnโ€™t advise me on what I needed to bring in order to pick it up. I have rented vehicles before and was able to use a debit card. So, I was stranded in Lexington instead of being where I needed to be.

Smooth transaction all around I didnโ€™t fully grasp that the add on insurance offered was third party so you still have to provide your personal insurance provider at the counter.

Took the vehicle to the Asheville, Hertz rental car return location at 9 AM. When the store opened no one was there I waited two hours and then had to leave had to pay a shuttle driver to return the keys later that day. In addition, the invoice I received included five days rental cost for one day rental. In addition, I spent two hours hours on the phone trying to contact someone at Hertz for information total run around Totally unacceptable I look forward to hearing from Hertz to resolve these issues and concerns. My rental contract number is 182634104

Prices for rentals are through the roof. Deposit on top of reservation was unbelievably high. Counter experience included an agent that seemed to think that these prices were absolutely normal and $1000 (deposit included) was normal for a 4 day rental Also, Mazda car we rented took us 4 days to figure out instrument cluster. Highly dissappointed

Sara, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The car drove well and was comfortable

Cons:

I never actually talked to anyone from Enterprise as both pick up and drop off were handled by a representative at another company's desk. If I had known that, I could have used Budget or some other company and paid a cheaper rate. The car was absolutely filthy. Lots of dirt and bugs on the front grill, animal hair in the luggage area and stains on the back seat. I had to give some authors a ride to a book launch party and was embarrassed by the condition of the car. Drop off was confusing since I had never used that airport and expected someone to be available in the lot to look at the car and take the keys. In the airport, I went to the only desk with an attendant to complete the rental process and told her about the filthy, unsanitary condition of the car. She was unconcerned. My first (and last) bad experience with Enterprise.

Avis was a great disappointment! The bus I booked and confirmed severally through phone calls was said to be unavailable when I went to pick up. We were all set for the trip and suddenly no bus. I have called AVIS and they confirmed availability even a day to pick up. They just messed up our travel plans
