I’ll be visiting america soon and I was wondering which is the best car rental place? How far is it from the airport? Thanks
To which "international" airport are you traveling?
Both of our airports are international, yet one is named Bush Intercontinental. I hope that’s what you mean.
Hobby Airport (the other International airport) has it’s car rental agencies by the baggage claim area. After you choose an agency you take a bus out to the rental lot.
Intercontinental is different. All rental car facilities are located on JFK Boulevard, five or ten minutes from the terminals. Every terminal has pickup areas where you catch a bus (arrrrgh, the bus is either red and white or Aggie maroon and white). The bus takes you to the rental location. I use Expedia.com to book my travel, and when I rent a car I use either Advantage or Alamo. While Enterprise is in the same category, they are the worst regarding service and they nickel and dime you for everything. Budget is also cheap, but so is their service. Avis has the best service that I’ve used (used them in the US and Mexico) but they are more expensive.
EDIT: It is moot whether Enterprise picks you up, because they don’t know where you are. Everyone takes the same bus at Intercontinental.
