KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Plattsburgh
- As the city does not have a very extensive public transportation system, it is typically best to use car rentals in Plattsburgh to travel throughout the area. By having access to Plattsburgh car rentals, you will be able to explore town on your own schedule and comfortably. With a rental car, it’s also easier to go to parts of the region that are a bit of a further distance from the city center. For example, there is Cumberland Bay State Park, which is around a 20 to 25min drive from the city center. There is also Plattsburgh City Beach, which is around a 20min drive away as well.
- If you will be flying to the region, you can always choose to pick up your car rentals in Plattsburgh from Plattsburgh International Airport (PBG). PBG has its own car rental center that is conveniently placed in the Arrivals area of the Main Terminal. There are a few different companies to choose from in this center, including Avis, Budget, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Each company keeps its fleet just a short walk from where their offices are placed.
- To operate car rentals in Plattsburgh as conveniently as possible, it’s usually best to make sure that you are familiar with different driving rules. For example, any child under the age of six must always be in a proper child’s seat at all times. Drivers and all passengers are always required to wear a seatbelt while in a moving vehicle. Make sure to always yield to pedestrians, even if it is in an unmarked crosswalk. Always make sure to leave two seconds of space between you and the car in front of you.
- If you don’t want to get stuck in a traffic jam, it’s always best to try not to be on the road during rush hour, which is typically between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. Some roads that are known for being particularly congested during these times include Margaret Street and Highways 9 and 22. In the winter months, this area often gets snow and rain, so make sure to be extra careful if you are on the road during these conditions.

Pros:
I was never informed that the drop off in Mooresville was during business hours so I had to travel 20+ miles to find the office was closed. Very inconvenient that I had to return the next day.Cons:
Being notified that Mooresville office was closed with no after hour drop off. Plattsburgh pick up was excellent.10.0 Wonderful

Tiffanie, Dec 2019
Pros:
The car was fineCons:
I do not like that they make the rentals for every 24 hours. It doesn't work realistically for renting a vehicle (especially when you're paying for 3 days but only get it for exactly 48 hours). I will not be using dollar again. Also, a $200 hold is a little excessive. I've had $100 held before, but $200 is a little ridiculous. Because of the way they do the time for pick-up and drop-off, it was very hard to schedule for when I actually needed the car and they wouldn't work with me.Avis
