Car rentals are worth it, especially if you are travelling somewhere without access to your personal vehicle. When you rent a car you gain more flexibility, convenience, and freedom over your travel. Some of the benefits of renting a car include:

  • Convenience & comfort: A private, climate-controlled space that’s especially useful for families or groups. On top of that rental cars also give you the convenience of storage allowing you to bring more with you when you travel.
  • Value for money: Splitting a rental between several people is often cheaper than public transport. Giving you cheaper transportation and greater freedom to drive where and when you want to.
Can I rent a car from the airport?

Yes. Most major U.S. airports have dedicated rental centres where you can pick up or drop off your vehicle. Booking airport car rentals with Alternative Airlines makes it even easier,  just land, collect your keys, and hit the road.
