Rochester Airport car rental reviews and directory
The gentleman at the counter was not very friendly. He couldn’t figure out how we could use our digital credit card. He then assumed we weren’t a married couple and tried to charge us an extra $13 a day to use my physical credit card. We decided we didn’t want to spend the extra $13 a day. He then mentioned spouses can be added free. When we asked to then put it on the credit card card instead of of the debit card card he said he couldn’t do that until we returned the car. It was just a very unpleasant experience.

The first car we were assigned should have been taken out of rotation due to the very strong smoky odor. The Rep quickly apologized and swapped it with a more appropriate vehicle.
