KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Somerset

  • Exploring Somerset is more convenient with car rentals in Somerset. Unlike taxis and public transport, Somerset car rentals offer the freedom to navigate the city and its outskirts easily. With car rentals in Somerset, you can effortlessly visit attractions such as the Somerset Historical Center and Quecreek Mine Rescue Site, about seven miles from the city center. Opting for car rentals in Somerset grants you the flexibility to access destinations that might be restricted by public transportation, enhancing your overall travel experience.
  • The nearest major airport is Somerset Johnstown-Cambria County Airport (JST). JST offers convenient transportation options and reputable car rental services from companies like Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz. These well-known providers have their rental counters conveniently situated within the airport terminal, ensuring easy access for passengers. Clear and informative signage directs travelers to these car rental counters immediately upon arrival. To ensure a smooth travel experience, it's recommended to pre-book your car rental at JST.

Stay informed about these regulations to ensure a responsible and lawful driving practice in Somerset.

To navigate efficiently, it's advisable to allocate extra time for your commute and explore alternative routes to access busy areas during these rush hours.

Overcharged. Charged me for extra insurance when I specified liability only. Did not list costs of additional insurance on vehicle, only mentioned cost of liability. He said nothing could be done and thought I said “insurances”, when I specified “liability insurance only”. I will call both Hertz and Kayak to refund the extra charges on this ridiculous rental. Also, I’ve never been charged $1000 as a security deposit from Hertz. They stated it has to be that high because I don’t have auto insurance. I don’t have a car, that’s why I don’t have insurance and specified I wanted liability only. Surprise bill and disregarding my intention to simply charge more. Ridiculous.

Pros:

Staff were courteous. Car was spotless and worked well. Site easily accessible.

Limited hours required me to make arrangements otherwise when my flight came into Johnstown at 7 pm. THERE WAS NO RESTROOM IN THE SHOP FOR CUSTOMERS, A SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE FOR TRAVELERS.
