  • Albany International Airport (ALB), which is the major airport serving Latham and located about 13 miles from the city center, provides a wide array of choices for car rentals in Latham, with both on-site and offsite rental agencies available.

  • When contemplating car rentals in Latham, it's essential to keep in mind several important factors. A key consideration is the safety of children under 12 or those below 4'9" in height, which can be ensured by using booster seats. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that rental companies may apply extra charges for providing these seats. To steer clear of any unfavorable encounters with law enforcement, particularly in the city center, adopting a defensive driving approach becomes paramount. The authorities in Latham are particularly vigilant in enforcing traffic laws, given the frequent instances of reckless pedestrian and bicycle crossings on major thoroughfares.

Easy pick up and drop off. Reservation was for a minivan but we got a Denali. Would’ve preferred a minivan because the trunk in the Denali was very small and a minivan trunk is great. Biggest problem was that the car absolutely reeked of marijuana. We thought it was the garage and drove away incorrectly assuming that. Tried to contact customer service when we realized it was the car, but it was late at night and they didn’t open until the next morning. They did offer a car exchange but we were an hour away at a family wedding and didn’t have the flexibility in our schedule to make the trip back to the airport.

When I checked in at the counter, the rep had me sign papers saying the car had a full tank. Once I arrived at the car, I noticed the car was only had a 1/4 tank of gas and the mileage did not match. I was in an extreme hurry to make an appointment and I did not have time to wait in line at the counter again because there were about 20 people in line. I have pictures of the gas tank and mileage to share if I can send to someone via email. I would just like to be refunded $35 to pay for that extra gas I had to buy because I returned it on a full tank. Again, I signed the original paperwork saying I would return in on a full tank because I was told the car was on a full tank. The fact the license plate matched the paperwork but the mileage was not correct tells me someone just made a honest mistake. Can I get a refund for $35?

Rental itself was fine. I had an issue at the end of my trip—my flights home were changed, and I had to modify my plans and drop off the car at a different airport (Philadelphia instead of Newark). The agent was able to modify my itinerary, but I was charged a large additional amount to do this VERY disappointed, prob will avoid Alamo in the future.
