KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Corning

You will be able to enjoy personalized travel without depending on public transportation or taxis. Discover the Corning Museum of Glass, showcasing mesmerizing glass artistry, and the stunning Watkins Glen State Park, famed for its captivating gorges and waterfalls. With a rental car, navigate effortlessly between these sites and other local gems, maximizing your Corning experience while enjoying the comfort and freedom that comes with self-driving.
  • You can conveniently get Corning car rentals at Syracuse Hancock Intl Airport (SYR) or Rochester Greater Rochester Intl Airport (ROC), which are the two main airports serving the city. At SYR, upon arrival, proceed to the Rental Car Center on the ground level of the parking garage. Leading agencies like Avis, Budget, and Hertz offer diverse car options. Similarly, at ROC, head to the Ground Transportation Center on the lower level of the parking garage. Recognized brands such as Enterprise, National, and Alamo provide a variety of vehicles. Both airports grant swift access to Corning-bound rentals, ensuring a seamless transition to your exploration journey.
  • When considering car rentals in Corning, remember that it is generally exciting and safe to drive in the city thanks to the calm driving style and adherence to traffic laws. Drivers generally follow rules, which makes road travel safe. If you will be driving accompanied by your kids, remember that New York State mandates that all children under eight years old must be secured in an appropriate child restraint system. Additionally, booster seats are required for children between 8 and 16 who have outgrown child safety seats. Prioritize safety by understanding local regulations and road conditions while enjoying the convenience and comfort of Corning car rentals.
  • When using car rentals in Corning, heavy traffic, which occurs on most of the roads during the morning and evening rush hours, typically from 7:30 to 9 am and from 4:30 to 6 pm on weekdays, is one of the difficulties you should expect to experience. Main roads like I-86, Route 352, and Denison Parkway are among the most affected during such times. Being prepared for these traffic patterns will help you navigate the city more smoothly while enjoying your rental car experience.

Pros:

We got there to pick it up and they did not have the car we rented. We reserved a minivan for a family camping trip with 6 people. They had a Tahoe with no storage room for our stuff. The attendant did not offer solutions, or help us find another car. We had to scramble to find a mini van, driving to another town and spending $150 more. I had called dollar that morning to say we’d be late to pick up. They even confirmed my mini van. Worst experience, we ended up leaving hours later for our trip and having to set up camp in the dark with kids.

Cons:

They could have had the right car or at least called us to tell us they didn’t.

the car had sensors that went off the entire time seatbelt and forward driving aids my son and i tried everything to get the constant alarm 🚨 to stop headache all day and night on our trip! When i told the lady at the hertz rental she just acted like i put something heavy on the seat must be and made the alarm go off! No big deal that you had to hear alarms constantly while driving in unfamiliar places while trying to navigate you have to listen to extremely loud alarms 🚨 sensors that are messed up!

Pros:

The lady at the Tompkins Airport was fantastic. Very helpful and courteous went out of her way to sanitize my credit card before returning it to me.

Cons:

The car was a bit dirty, Crumbs on the back seat and a hair clip in the handle. Makes me wonder how well they are being sanitized.

6.8 Okay

Jaclyn, Dec 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

The price was affordable for a one-way rental. So much so, that I’ll still consider Hertz if/when I have a need for another one-way rental.

Cons:

The staff at my pickup location were a bit unfriendly and bad mouthed another customer who was on the phone. At one point, one of he staff members mentioned that the last time he was in NJ (where my bf is from), that a group of black guys tried to haggle him for money in Atlantic City - just unprofessional.
