KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Rome

  • Car rentals in Rome, NY, can offer several advantages over relying solely on public transportation, depending on your travel needs and preferences. Car rentals can save you time by eliminating the need to wait for buses or trains. You can reach your destinations directly without transferring or waiting times. Also, having a car can make it easier to access areas that might not be well-served by public transportation. This is particularly beneficial if you plan to explore hidden gems around Rome, NY, such as Bellamy Harbor ParkFort, and Stanwix National Monument.
  • If you are arriving in Rome, NY, via air, you will likely land at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR), about 45 miles away. The airport has several well-known car rental agencies in the rental car center, including Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. The rental car agency offices are on the first level, center terminal, before the security checkpoint. Consider booking your car rental in advance to ensure availability and to compare rates and options from different rental agencies.
  • Driving in Rome car rentals can be relatively straightforward, but there are a few challenges and factors to be aware of, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area. Like many places in the northeastern United States, road conditions can deteriorate due to freezing and thawing cycles, leading to potholes.

Pay attention to signs and road markings to navigate them correctly.
  • There can be times when traffic congestion occurs in Rome, especially during peak commuting hours or events. Usually, traffic jams occur in the morning (7:00 am to 9:00 am) and late afternoon (4:00 pm to 6:00 pm) when people go to and from work or school. These periods may increase traffic on major roads such as Erie Boulevard E (Route 69) and Black River Boulevard (Route 46). Furthermore, Winter driving conditions can be challenging, so it's important to be prepared with appropriate tires, drive cautiously, and allow extra stopping distance.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The staff was not friendly. She cancelled my reservation without notice and had nothing on record when I arrived. After speaking with her for about 10 minutes she all of sudden had a car for me. Said it would be double the rate I booked it at. I had no choice so did this. On the way I call the 800 number to mention this and they tell me she put the incorrect drop off location. I spend an hour on the phone with them to get the correct drop off location confirmed. The women in the store was also not wearing a mask (despite numerous signs indicated it was needed) and she was coughing... it looked like she rolled out of bed and ended up at the counter. She was rude and didn’t seem to have a care in the world. Also when I arrive in NY I find out the location closed at 3 and there is no drop box - this was NOT mentioned to me at pickup. I then have to park the car overnight in NYC (for $38) and return the next morning to turn in the keys and get my receipts. Staff in NYC when I arrived were helpful.
