Make sure to let the local Enterprise know that you are coming in by ferry and they will be there to pick you up and shuttle you to the rental location for free, as it is a ways a way. We were glad we didn't decide to try to walk it with all of our luggage.

Make sure your reservation is for the correct location in this area. It’s very easy to make a reservation at the wrong place, as they are close together.
Verified travelerMay 2024
My rental only had slightly over a half tank of gas when I picked it up. That was weird. I returned it with half a tank. I'm not sure if they reimburse if you return it with a full tank, but it would be worth asking ahead of time. Or maybe it was a one-off?

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Hyannis

  • Car rentals in Hyannis give you flexibility and freedom of movement. Unlike with public transport, you don’t have to follow a specific schedule and route. For example, Sealine public buses operate between Wood Hole and Provincetown, meaning you have to be traveling that route at a particular time to use their buses. Car rentals in Hyannis help you move across the city, explore Cape Cod, Barnstable, and other surrounding neighborhoods any time you want.
  • Car Rentals in Hyannis is a well-established business with rental services in Barnstable Municipal Airport, while others are located within walking distance from the airport. Car rental companies such as Thrifty, Enterprise, Avis, among others, will deliver a car of your choice to the airport at the agreed time. Additionally, Hyannis city car rental companies such as National, among others, are located within the terminal of Barnstable Municipal Airport, next to the baggage claim area. Budget’s office is located at the main terminal with a pick-up station situated outside of the terminal. Dollar is situated along Barnstable road, 0.2 miles away from the airport, within walking distance.
  • Roads in and out of Hyannis city center are quite busy with motorists. Be careful, especially when following, driving next to or on adjacent lanes to loaded tractor-trailers and trucks towing boats. If it’s winter or the rainy season, be mindful and extra cautious when driving on icy roads and in the mornings when there is low visibility due to fog and heavy downpour. Watch out for icy roads in Northeastern Mass and along Route 128 and Route 3.
  • When exploring the vibrant Hyannis, try to avoid rush hour. There is minimal traffic from Sundays to Thursdays. The roads are generally busy on Saturday mornings and afternoons. To avoid getting stuck in traffic, travel either earlier or later in the day at hours before 8am or after 2pm respectively. The roads are also busy on Fridays, however, you can smoothly run your errands before 2pm and after 9pm.
  • It’s in your best interest to rent a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Hyannis if you’d love to explore the town. This is because, with a car from a Hyannis car rental, you’ll be able to easily drive to destinations outside the city, such as Falmouth, located 20.3 mi away, and Brewster, located 16.8 mi away. In Falmouth, you’ll visit the Shining Sea Bikeway, Cape Nod Winery, and Woods Hole Science Aquarium, whereas, in Brewster, you’ll be able to see the Cape Rod Rail Trail, Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, and Nickerson State Park. If none of these towns interest you, you can drive 34 mi to Wellfleet. Here, you’ll get the chance to visit Cahoon Hollow Beach, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, and Marconi Beach.
  • Like in other Massachusetts towns, speeding tickets in Hyannis are quite high. In this city, if you’re caught driving your Hyannis car rentals 10 miles above the posted speed limit, you’ll be charged $100. For every additional mile after the first ten, your fine will increase by $10. Given that the city’s traffic officers are always on patrol, to avoid receiving a ticket, keep an eye out for speed limit signs when driving your cheap rental in Hyannis.
  • If you intend to drive around with a kid below 12 years or 135 cm, you should ask the cheap car rental in Hyannis that you hire to install an appropriate child car seat in the rear seat of your rental car. This is because, in Hyannis, children below 12 years and those shorter than 135 cm must seat in child seats in the rear of the car they are riding in.
  • Book your rental car in Hyannis at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Hyannis are around 32% cheaper than other car types, on average

Having access to the location directly, as in an access to a phone number and not just a number for a call center. Also, debit cards with credit feature should be somehow allowed to be used as well not just major cc.

Easy pick up and drop off. Surprised the vehicle did not have a car wash before we got it, but not a big deal. Also not sure it had even been gone through because there was some small garbage on the floor in back seat area. First time in mini van and was surprised how nice the ride was.

Had trouble with Kayak/Hertz when making the one-way reservation. Info kept gettting lost. Even got a message that either Kayk or Hertz was having problems. After the fith time, I did not realize the dropoff changed to pickup location causing my $90 rental to turn into a $500 rental. Each time I changed it back to a one-way rental except hte last time. Yes, I missed it but the rate I wanted was available the next day and the next day. I shoud have cancelled and rebooked when I picked it up but was so shocked. Hertz gave me $150 credit. Not sure if it was a Kayak problem or Hertz system problem but I got abused.

Pros:

HYA Hertz were fine and helpful.

Cons:

PVD dropoff HERTZ was disinterested and didn't leave the booth. Perhaps afraid of catching COVID from customers? Prefer to have car checked by a liver person, to be sure NO damage, as you're holding $200 of my funds for just this reason. Don't hold the money if you cannot be bothered to look at the vehicle when it is returned. No damages from me, but I am disrespected and penalized for others' drivers damages when you cannot even be bothered to check -- Lazy personnel!

The staff was very friendly and one reason I would come back. However, she was overwhelmed with customers. She was one person handling at least three customers while i was there. She maintained a friendly disposition though. In the middle of an epidemic, you need to be flexible and patient. The checkin process took a little while but given the environment, the staff handled it very well.

The lobby where the Thrifty desk is located is crazy loud. I could barely hear the representative when I called the location directly. It completely put me off, but I stuck with it. I had no problem with the car or staff. The walk to the lot for picking up the car is a bit of a pain but I'm not sure how they could work around that since the office is right at the dock. Overall a good experience.

We had a wonderful experience! We ended up getting in 90 minutes earlier than anticipated and they worked with us to ensure it didn't cost us an extra day or part of a day. They sent someone to pick up our family of 4 and our luggage at the ferry in Hyannis. She even had us keep the luggage in her vehicle until our car was ready so that we weren't lugging it around everywhere. They were efficient; we were set up and on our way quickly. Our vehicle even ended up being a bit of an upgrade, because that's what was on site. We are grateful for Kelly, Donna, and Kevin who were so helpful and kind in our interactions! Then, drop off was so easy. We pulled into the lot at Logan and we were on our way within 2 minutes. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

In one word, my experience with Dollar & Kayak was HORRENDOUS. I booked the Dollar car via Kayak at 3pm on July 7th, and really looked forward to picking it up July 8th. Then, someone from Dollar called me at 8pm and said they were all out of vehicles because "they got raided by people at the airport because all flights were canceled" and I would no longer have a car to rent the next morning. BUMMER and a horrible customer service experience. I question the purpose of a reservation if someone else can just snatch it from me? Kayak and Dollar need to have better communication so that future shoppers are not left stranded the way I was with my family.
