Take some time to drive to Windsor Locks Canal State Park Trail which will treat you to an amazing view of the Connecticut River, Noden-Reed Museum a historic house, Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, and Connecticut Trolley Museum.
  • Windsor Locks has over 15 car rental company locations with about 8 being airport locations. The nine Windsor Locks car rental agencies at Bradley International Airport allow you to explore the region on your own terms.

Off-site car rentals in Windsor Locks provide cheaper car rental options and would be a great place to look if you are traveling on a budget.
  • When getting Windsor Locks car rentals, ensure you check for requirements in advance. We recommend hiring a driver if you are not familiar with the city. A driver who knows the city well will help you navigate and see the majority of what the city has to offer. It will also help you avoid places that are not welcoming to tourists. However, the city is generally a safe place for travel. Be on the lookout for pedestrians jaywalking to avoid accidents.
  • If you can access places of interest by foot, please do as the city is fairly small. When you need to use your car rentals in Windsor Locks, ensure that you do so in good traffic. Try as much as possible to avoid driving during morning and evening peak house as traffic can build up and cause delays. The morning peak hours start at 7:15-7:30 and are usually finished by 9:00 am. Evening peak hours start at 4:30 pm and typically end around 6:30 pm.

Windsor Locks car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Windsor Locks 
Verified travelerAug 2024
Everything was great, moral of the story is you can never have enough room when traveling. Maybe book a car bigger than your needs when traveling with a family.
Verified travelerFeb 2024
I enjoyed my experience renting a car at the Hartford airport and I would use Alamo again!
Verified travelerAug 2023
Had a bit of a tough time finding the exact location- I think they are building a new car rental site? You need to follow the highway signs and look for “rental car return” not anything else.

Bad drivers, but that’s typical of CT/NY

Dollar has a scam - I showed to pick up my car and they say we only have an EV (which I couldn’t take). They then say we can give you a gas car if you pay an upgrade fee of $35 per day. Total scam that exploits traveling people. Will never use them again.

Cons:

Our flight was delayed, landing us about 30 minutes after Dollar closed for the night. Before our flight departed, I called the Dollar location directly to inform them. If they wouldn’t be open, I was going to cancel my reservation and book with someone else who would still be there. They assured me it wouldn’t be an issue, and took down my flight information. As soon as we landed, I called again, and nobody answered. We waited for the bus to show, but it never did. They closed at their regular time, and left us stranded. Then, because we didn’t cancel before the time we were supposed to arrive, they refused to refund the money since we prepaid. I would not rent with Dollar again.

The staff was helpful and courteous at pickup and drop-off. When we picked up our first car, it wreaked of cigarettes, the agent was happy to upgrade us to another available car. It took loading and unloading onto 3 cars but we found one that didn’t have any major issues. Overall satisfied, just wish it didn’t take loading in and out of 3 cars with a family of four to find one that was acceptable. ***I did notice, most of the offending vehicles were from NY.***

There was a chunk of the tire missing when we went to pick it up. We drove 13hrs and the rotors and brakes were in terrible condition and the tires had no tread. The wheel would shake when trying to stop. Very upset budget couldn’t take the time to look over brakes and rotors before customers came to pick the car up. I was surprised we made it to our destination safely it was that bad

I had a drop-off time scheduled for 7 PM, and they failed to warn me that the drop-off location closed at 6 PM. When I called them, they informed me that if I didn't make it in by 6 PM and had to use the drop-off box to leave the car, I'd be charged another day. Therefore, at the last minute, I had to rush to get the car in before closing time because they failed to inform me of this information.

I was so impressed with Alamo during my recent trip. I was traveling with two oversized duffel bags and three kiddos and when the staff on site at the return area saw my luggage, they offered to drive us to the departure drop-off rather than make us walk with all our stuff. It was such a wonderful offer and I was so impressed with the customer service. There was also a friendly staff member waiting when we entered the garage to help us pick out a vehicle, with many good options to choose from. Overall, very impressed with my experience.

Didn’t have cars in the class I reserved and prepaid, so was forced to take a lower class vehicle. Also, no fully charged vehicle was available, so I had to accept one with 3/4 battery charge. The car was filthy. They made numerous attempts to upsell me other options/services, and when I refused they tried to suggest it was not optional. I continued to refuse to pay extra above my prepaid amount, and they eventually relented. However, as a result, it took 45 minutes from the time I got to the counter to the time I drove off.

Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful! And the price was right.

Cons:

I wish there were a sign that indicated where it was safe to ride over the spikes. We ended up parking outside of the rental location so that we didn't ruin our car. It was also confusing which care rental location to use, because the location on Google Maps no longer exists -- it's now an Amazon location and there's no entrance to the public -- and there were two different car rental locations that listed "Payless" on their signs, so we wasted time driving around until we made some sense of the confusing issues, and we eventually picked one location to see whether it would work out, without knowing for sure that I was in the right place until I actually got inside. Two different people driving around the airport asked me where to find the Payless pickup booth when I still had no idea, so it seems like the setup is a bit confusing in general. PLEASE fix your Google Maps entry, and PLEASE update your signs to make it clear (1) where to go for Payless pickups and (2) where to drive without destroying your car's tires.
