KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Watertown

  • Getting car rentals in Watertown will enable you to become mobile and flexible and offer the comfort and convenience required when going for road trips around the city. The car rentals will allow you to travel to locations such as Restaurant au Pied de Cochon, located about 157 mi to the Northeast of the town and the Chittenden Brook NF Campground for those who love RV and Camping. The car rentals also offer ample space if you travel with your family to comfortably cover the 152 mi to White Rocs National Recreation Area and the Green Mountain Forest.
  • Travelers arriving in the city through the Syracuse Hancock Intl Airport will easily locate the car rentals in the airport. For those alighting at the airport, the car rental companies offering the rental services have their desks at the center terminal. Proceed to the first level before you get to the security checkpoint and get to the offices. For travelers arriving in the city through the Saranac Lake Adirondack Airport, the two car rental companies that offer rental services are Hertz and Easirent. Hertz also offers pick-up services with their shuttle to off-airport locations.
  • Travelers with car rentals in Watertown must always yield the right of way to pedestrians at all intersections and crosswalks, irrespective of whether they are marked or not. If you are driving behind a school bus that comes to a halt or flashes red warning lights, you should stop at least 20 feet away to allow the students to board or off-board. Even though jaywalking is illegal in the city, you must watch out as you drive in the city, as it is a common occurrence. Be keen on the road signs as there are several avenues where it is illegal to make a left turn at given hours.
  • Watertown rush hours start around 7:30 am to 9:30 am when residents are heading to work. The evening rush hours begin from 5 pm to about 7 pm, with the midtown area experiencing major congestion. Traffic in the city is heavy from Monday to Friday between the rush hour times, and it is advisable for the travelers with Watertown car rentals to travel after the morning traffic and before the evening traffic starts. One of the busiest highways that you should avoid in the city is Arsenal Street (Route 3).

4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, May 2024

Intermediate SUV

KAYAK
The car was filthy, the polstry was disgustingly stained from previous customers on all seats in that car, the interior stank so bad I had to put an air freshener to cover it up, the steering wheel was sticky by touching, the car was giving to me with a maintenance due soon and 15% oil life left, the backsplash wiper was broken. In Germany they would never ever have given me a car in that condition! But I have to give credit for the staff in Watertown after they issued me my ticket for the car and the wrong payment was on it to solve that issue to the price I booked.

2.0 Poor

Cons:

Staff had no rental vehicle despite online posting. Did not tell me before I got to store. Continued to say one might be coming for an hour before admitting they just never updated their online inventory.
