When you book a car rental at New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA), you will have an easy and convenient way to travel throughout the surrounding region. Rather than dealing with the hassle of picking up your vehicle from the busy city center, you can simply grab a New York LaGuardia Airport car rental instead.

Plus, it will be easier for you to travel with luggage.
Depending on what your needs are, there are several different types of vehicles that you choose from for your car rental at New York LaGuardia Airport. At the airport, you will usually find many models, including economy vehicles, SUVs, luxury cars, and pick-up trucks. Many of the car rental companies that have branches at LaGuardia offer models from the world’s top vehicle manufacturers, with Mazda, Nissan, Ford, and Toyota being just a few examples. Economy and compact models can be particularly convenient choices for New York, as they will allow you to squeeze into smaller parking spots and easily navigate any traffic.
Those that are ready to return their car rental at New York LaGuardia Airport can do so by bringing it back to the specific car rental branch where they initially picked it up.

The day that I arrived there was a shortage of cars at Thrifty, which caused a significant delay for everyone getting their rentals. This was due to an earlier weeks earthquake in New York. Although this was dissapointing as I could not leave for my destination until I received my car, but I have to applaud Thrify employees for keeping good attitude and taking the time to explain to everyone why there is a delay, and that they are doing everything they can to get us out of there. I appreciated the feeling informed attitude. And everyone in line was super kind and positive

At the time of car pick up, it looked like a bird egg fell out of a nest and was stuck to the top of the car roof. Scraping it off the car (with a partially formed bird inside) was not pleasant.

4.0 Mediocre

May 2021

Cons:

Car smelled like cigarettes, i prepaid online and then was charged extra at pickup, more than doubling the rental cost. " Mandatory liability insurance, concession fees that weren't mentioned online and $44 for a toll pass which I chose to add). None of which were mentioned online when reserving and paying "In Full". My $125 car rental turned into $300. Felt like a bait and switch. Dishonest advertising. Once i was there for pickup, i needed the car and had no choice but to pay what they were asking.

4.0 Mediocre

Apr. 2021

Pros:

The staff were fine.

Cons:

All the little extras really add up. I was charged 88 dollars for a concession fee recovery, I have no idea what that even is. The easy pass was 22 dollars a day which got expensive real fast.

Pros:

Clerk was helpful until I noticed a mistake in the booking and then she said she had no way to correct it.

Cons:

I had booked a one way car rental for La Guardia with a Drop off at Logan airport. When I called to ask if I could pick up the car a day earlier the customer service rep, said "yes" and also that I would save $25 . When I got there the clerk told me that the reservation said I was returning it to LaGuardia. I said that wasn't what I had told the clerk and she refused to honor the lower rate and if that wasn't enough she would't even give me the original price but said now I'd have to pay $80 more than my original reservation. I walked out and got another car from Thrifty. They made the mistake and they should have honored the price quoted. At least the original price, so I. don't think I will book with Enterprise again.

Cons:

The car was filthy when I picked it up. I asked to have it cleaned and I was told not to expect a good job. It had bird poop all over and the inside was not clean. They washed it but it was not really clean. While driving the car I noticed that it was pulling to the right and left. I checked the tires and they were completely bald. I did the penny test and have pictures to prove that they were bald. I called roadside repair and they took the case and told me to go to my nearest Avis dealer who was more than 2 plus hours from where I was. I drive back to LGA very scared and slow. I was given a 50 dollar credit. I expected to have more of a credit than that seeing that I put my life and the life of my family and friends in jeaporady. I would like a full credit and will give it 2 weeks before filing a case in NYS small claims court.

Pick-up and drop-off was a fairly simple process.

Cons:

When we received our car, the tire pressure light was on. We connected with an employee who filled the tires with air. When finished, the light was still on, but the employee said that "it's because the tires need some time to warm up" (it had snowed two days in a row previously). We had a car for a total of three days and two nights. The tire pressure light never turned off. I wish the employee had taken more care to look into the issue and/or escalate the matter so that we could receive a new car.

First car they gave me had a touchscreen that was broken which resulted in everything moving / adjusting constantly and changing on its own making driving it a virtual guarantee to be in an accident.

I nearly froze to death waiting for a the car to charge in the middle of nowhere at 4am and had to constantly find slow chargers to make it another 30 miles.

My clerk was a very nice lady, but when she left the desk to go get the car, she left my ID and credit card on the desk, unsecured. I received a car that had a cigarette stench in it.

Drop off was understaffed. I was charged a late fee because it took 15 minutes for someone to get to me to review the car, and they submitted their report 10 minutes after my drop off time. This company also requires you to have full coverage, not just collision. I do not own a car and so had to pay an extra $30 a day to them for this coverage.

For whatever reason you always have to wait longer for their shuttle vs other car agencies, the lines for checkout and check-in also are longer, they nickle and dime you on insurance requirements like no other rental car agencies.

Pros:

The staff at the National pickup in Queens gave us the wrong information about adding another person. They insisted that my travel partner was not covered on the insurance and were very dismissive and unhelpful about how we could resolve the issue. Upon going to another National car service location at Newark airport (far out of our way to our travel destination) we finally received some helpful advice from the clerk there. I was very upset that the National Car service location in queens was not more informed on the issue and helpful. It seemed like they just wanted to clock out and didn't care about nay type of customer service. I WILL NOT be renting from National again

Cons:

The customer service and transparency on terms.

Pros:

Drop off was easy. Staff were very easy to talk to and accomodating regarding vehicle type and availability.

Cons:

The line to get to the counter before pick-up was very long, and like all car rental places, very slow. There was a bit over an hour waiting in line.

7.2 Good

Jan. 2020

Pros:

friendly and capable staff, quick access to car and off we go!

Cons:

as with all car rentals at LGA, have to take to buses and wait to get to the rental places. for the next 3 years better off renting from JFK or EWR airports if that is an option for you
