Rochester car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users
Insights shared by verified travellers who rented a car in Rochester
There was a 30 cent price difference in the gas stations in the area with the exit after the airport having the best deal so it was worth it to drive an extra mile and come back. Even if you check in online you still have to go through all the insurance questions, etc again so allow time for that

You have a good direction for people landing in Rochester but the people going to airport to rent car need to receive more detail how get Avis’s offices.
Verified travelerApr 2024
I encourage early booking with free cancellation. Then you can check in periodically and cancel and rebook when and if the price drops, as it often will.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Renting car was easy, especially airport exit & return. Line at counter could have been faster.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Rochester
With a rental car you can drive from Rochester, NY to numerous attractions such as the Strong Museum and Seabreeze Amusement Park. Nearby cities including Buffalo, Geneva, and even Toronto, Canada can be easily reached by car. In less than two hours you can also drive to Niagara Falls, a hot tourist spot in both the United States and Canada.
Renting a car at Rochester International Airport is a necessity because the bus routes are limited in and around the city. Extremely convenient, its rental car station is right by the baggage claim, making it fast and easy for you to pick up both your luggage and car within minutes. Several rental car agencies are stationed here including Enterprise, Hertz, and Budget.
There is an inner loop that goes around the downtown area and connects to popular local sights like the sports arenas or museums. There is also an outer-loop that connects to state routes I-390 and I-590. Overall, driving around Rochester is pretty smooth and there is not a lot of traffic. However, in the winter months traffic can slow down because of snow and ice.
There is a rush hour in Rochester but it is minimal. The inner-loop, although it makes getting around town easier, can get a little congested during peak hours. This includes weekday mornings from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and in the evenings from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. So just plan to add 10 to 20 minutes to your drive if traveling during these hours.

The office wasn't very organized, the car didn't have gas, car seats weren't available for rent, the car was fine but smelled like smoke although it said non smoking. It wasn't as nice as other cars from other companies, and even from other Enterprise locations.
The console cup holder when I picked up was very wet and dirty.

It was hard to hear the person checking me in because of the noise in that area. I'm not sure how that could be alleviated, though, may if he was on my level instead of a raised area where he was talking over my head

I booked reservation for June 28-Aug. 3, 2024. When I got car, I was told that Budget only would book for a maximum of 30 days and that I would have to make another booking for the last week. When I went online to do so, prices were considerably higher than when I made initial booking. I therefore went to another agency that was cheaper for that week. This was far less than convenient. Had I known this upfront, I would probably booked with another agency to begin with.
Vehicle Condition: The car I was provided had an overpowering smell of cigarettes and marijuana. This made the driving experience extremely unpleasant and concerning for someone who values a clean and comfortable environment. 2. Maintenance Issue: The check oil light was on from the moment I picked up the vehicle. This not only caused anxiety about the car’s reliability but also reflected poorly on the vehicle’s maintenance standards. 3. Price Discrepancy: I was initially quoted $263 for the rental. However, upon picking up the car, I was informed that the total cost had inexplicably risen to $580. This significant price increase was neither explained nor justified, and it feels like a clear breach of trust.

The Nissan Rogue is a keeper. When traveling cross country from NY to MN, I hit a patch of rough winter weather. This vehicle performed beautifully and the Rochester Hertz gave it to me as an upgrade; so thankful for that. The one recommendation to Hertz that I would make: in addition to providing the street address for the Hertz counter associated with both pick-up and drop-off, provide the customer with additional information such as "at the airport, inside the terminal, near arrivals." Despite possessing an intimate familiarity with the MN location, I had difficulty locating the counter.

They had a good selection of cars. Easy access and ready for service. All went well. Super easy return.
The price was very good. It did take a long time for them to get a vehicle that matched what I had ordered. The Nissan Rouge ran well, but I had to put air in the tires, the key fob had a low battery, and the car didn't look completely cleaned as some things were left over from the previous users. The car windshield had a slight chip in it. I took some photos, as I don't wish to be charged for something that was on the car when I received the car.
