Top tips for hiring a car at Syracuse Hancock Airport

  • Whether you visit Syracuse for work or relaxation, Syracuse International Airport car rental companies ensure you can navigate the city in style. The airport has a rental car center running every day, allowing you to get a service readily during planned tours or emergency trips. Moreover, the multiple car models available conveniently enable you to choose the vehicle type to suit your requirements, including budget options and group travel.
  • You can comfortably access rental facilities when picking up or dropping off your car rental at Syracuse Hancock International Airport because the Rental Car Center includes after-hours services. Using this option during return, you only need to park and lock the car, drop your filled rental contract with your keys in the dropbox placed in the returns area, and depart.
  • The Rental Car Center is on Col Eileen Collins Boulevard in North Syracuse, with the return point being the same as the pick-up location. This setting makes it more comfortable for first-time visitors and regular customers to navigate the area during drop-off. You can get to the rental facility from central Syracuse via I-80 N, which leads to Airport Boulevard. Follow the signs for rental car return at the airport to the parking space near the terminal.
  • You can experience the general New York rush hours during your Syracuse trip, occurring from approximately 8 am to 9 am and between 3 pm and 7 pm. If you have a strict itinerary, avoid congestion, and set off for your meetings or activities before or after these traffic hours for stress-free time management. You may need to utilize alternate routes on your departure date to arrive at the busy Syracuse Hancock International Airport in time.
  • Book your car hire at Syracuse Hancock Airport at least 5 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pick-up at SYR took almost an hour because desk was understaffed. 2 people serving 40-50 Budget AND Avis customers in line. And line was just as bad when we left. The price ended up at $160 a day excluding prepaid gas for a Camry -- really poor value. And more than what was advertised in booking. The staff at SYR were good. And drop off was easy.

I waited in line for an hour. There was one person working the desk. There were still 14 people ahead off me. I did not have another hour to spare, as my meeting was fast approaching. I called Budget to cancel because I COULD NOT GET IT. They promised a refund. Iv'e called several times. I never got a car and never received the EIGHT HUNDRED dollar refund. STAY AWAY FROM BUDGET

We waited in line for 90+ minutes to get our car. Management didn't give us any information. It turns out they didn't have enough cars and fortunately, my family got the last one for several hours. No empathy or consideration for customers just standing in line.

Pick-up at SYR ok but staff impatient and clearly not happy doing the job. Drop-off at JFK confusing and a hassle. Signs lead to a former Dollar lot where you are then redirected to the Hertz lot. Plus airport under construction. Very stressful. They should get their signage right.

Pros:

Staff was nice. However they helped as little as possible, but over all the experience was. Okay.

Cons:

The vehicle had a sticker on the door saying it was cleaned. A baby sock was found in the back hatch area, which should have been easily found if cleaned. The worst part was a strong odor coming from the driver side back seat. Terrible smell, I drove straight from NY to Fl. When I got home my wife told me it smelled like baby vomit or spilt formula.

When I reserved online it said I could add drivers for free. When I picked up the car I did not have the other drivers w me and was told no problem and to come back before we left later that afternoon. I picked up from Donna and she was great, tried to give me a car I didn't reserve even though they had the one I requested but ultimately got the car I wanted. Later that afternoon when I came to add the additional drivers I was told it would be $3 a day for each of them. I told the girl one of the drivers only needed to be on for the 1st 2 days. She was overly rude, rolling her eyes with an attitude towards us. She told me it didn't matter and walked away. Went and got another employee to help w one of the other drivers cards. When I turned in the car not only was I charged for them both but the entire time when one of them only drove for that day that we got the vehicle and the night.

I showed up to find out there were no cars available even with the reservation. After leaving the airport I was able to make another reservation about 2 hours later. There is no way to call the Representatives at the airport to find out if there were in fact cars there. So I called what must have been an Alamo corporate office and was assured there were in fact cars available. I then went back to the airport to pick up a car to find out there are still no cars available. Alamo enterprise, hertz, the entire fleet at the Syracuse airport was allowing reservations but had no cars to rent. This was an absolutely miserable experience.

The SUV was quite comfortable but was filthy when we picked it up. Originally I thought I requested a small SUV but when I got to the counter I was told otherwise. He offered an upgrade for the infinity SUV so I agreed. After paying and picking up the vehicle it was noted to be filthy and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. To the point it made us nauseated. I am on chemotherapy and we also had a 5 year old with us. Me being on chemo made the smoke sensitivity worse. We were in a tight deadline after we picked it up to get to our destination so I couldn’t exchange it. I mentioned it to the clerk in the parking garage but was told us have to go back inside the airport. As above, we didn’t have time to spare. Upon return I mentioned to the attendant in the airport, she took my name and number then assured me a manager would call. It’s been 3 days later now and no phone call. Very disappointed in this transaction and likely to never rent from Payless again. Would ultimately appreciate some sort of compensation for the filthy vehicle.

I had to wait in line to pick up my car for 75 minutes! Due to this, this was by far my worst experience ever renting from hertz. The person at the desk who helped me was excellent, however. Whatever led to the delay needs to be addressed. It was far below my expectations based on my previous experience renting from Hertz.

Cons:

When I signed up for the car which was a one way trip from NY to NC it asked me when I would pick up the vehicle and when I would drop it off. I entered 8:00am pickup on Sunday, drop off before 6:00pm Monday. I dropped off at 4:00pm. Hertz didn't have that information so instead of paying $216 I wound up paying $390 and I am less than happy. $15.75/hr plus addl for anything over 24 hrs. Find this unfair and wrong. Wont rent again through Kayak

While there were many cars available I was assigned a Chevrolet Spark (sub-compact) by the desk agent. I am 6'3". The car was a 2020 model with 40,000+ miles, had not been cleaned from the previous driver, had bald tires, and warning that the oil life was at 0%. $500+ for 3 days in an uncomfortable and potential unsafe vehicle.
