People who need to rent a car at their travel destination almost always choose to rent a car at the airport. However, this isn’t always the best way to go with car rental. In some cases, the drawbacks of airport car rental will outweigh the benefits so it’s something that should be looked at carefully each time that you travel.

The biggest benefit of getting the car at the airport is going to be the convenience of it. The car rental agency is right there. For example, if you fly into Orlando and use Orlando airport car rental, the car is right there at the Orlando airport. If you were to use an Orlando car rental agency that was located off-site of the airport then you would need to figure out how to get from the airport to that location.

However, airport car rental is often more expensive than off-site car rental. In doing your travel research, you may find that Fort Lauderdale airport car rental costs twice as much as car rental at a local agency within Fort Lauderdale. It may be worth the money then to take a cab from the airport to the much less expensive car rental agency.
