Top tips for hiring a car at Erie airport
- Car rentals are a must-have when visiting a new region. They are more convenient and comfortable to move around with than public transit, like trains and buses. The use of rentals is also less expensive than rideshare or taxis. Rentals give you the freedom to explore attractive nearby or far-to-reach. You won’t have to worry about not ticking off all items on your itinerary due to inconveniences like public transit not covering that particular route.
- You don’t have to wait till you arrive at Erie Airport (ERI) to book your car rentals. You can book Erie Airport car rentals from anywhere via KAYAK. We bring you a selection of rentals from all agencies at the airport and make it easy to find the rental you desire. With KAYAK, you don’t have to go through all available rentals for every provider, as it can be tiring. Make work easier by filtering the options according to the vehicle type. You can also input the budget and view options within your budget.
- Erie Airport hosts several car hire agencies, including major providers like Budget, Alamo, National, Hertz, and Enterprise. The agencies have counters in the rental car center located in the baggage claim area. Just outside the baggage claim is the rental parking lot where you will pick up your rental. The airport is conveniently located about seven miles from downtown Erie so the drive to downtown should not take more than 20 minutes.
- Erie International Airport is busiest on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We advise against flying in and out of the airport on these days as you will find it hectic to pick up and drop off your rental. The security and rental lines are usually longer than usual on these days, which can be frustrating, especially following a fling flight. Moreover, try booking flights that arrive or depart before 11 am and after 5 pm. The airport experiences a lot of passenger traffic between these times.
- Book your car hire at Erie airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
The Kia car was extremely hard to get in and out of, hard to move the front seats and was dented when I got it, so it looked shabby. Budget did not discount it because it was dented, although they certainly would have charged me if I dented it!7.6 Good

Jul 2017
Pros:
The car was okay.Cons:
This was an extremely frustrating experience for me. I picked up a vehicle, drove 5 miles before stopping at a gas station and when I went to start the car it wouldn't start. I had to wait for a tow and by the time I got back and got a new car three hours had passed. I wasn't able to start my 7 hour journey as planned and I was charged $10 for an extension to keep the vehicle longer. I was also charged a base rate of $153, when I was quoted $112 (included taxes and fees). After additional taxes and fees were added to the $153, the cost was $200 for 24 hours.5.2 Fair

Pros:
The staff was very quick and got me in-and-out fast on both the pick up and drop off.Cons:
The car was a crappier model than what I was expecting. There was some sort of mechanical issue that was causing vibration and noise. It smelled like it had been smoked in for all of its 14,000 miles. The steering wheel was sticky. The vehicle braked suddenly and unexpectedly while I was driving.8.0 Very Good
