Top tips for hiring a car in Fort Wayne

  • Using public transport has its advantages, but a car rental in Fort Wayne is a more convenient choice since it allows you to explore Fort Wayne regions that are inaccessible otherwise. It also grants you more flexibility because you don’t have to worry about when, or where to get public transport. Car rentals ensure your comfort and ease of movement around Fort Wayne.
  • Most Fort Wayne car rentals in the city have pick-up and drop-off points at or near the Fort Wayne Airport, making it easy to drive into the city and to a hotel or other areas within the region. Car rental companies, such as Budget, are located within the airport premises, which makes it convenient and quick to pick up the rental car of your choice. Other car rental companies are located within walking distance from the airport. These companies include Hertz, located near Olympic Village, Dollar, Thrifty, Avis, National, and Alamo, among many others.
  • Like most big cities with an increased number of vehicles on the road at any particular time, exercising extreme caution cannot be stressed enough, especially where normal traffic flow has been disrupted. For instance, drive carefully when nearing construction projects, interchange modifications, and county concrete pavement replacement that tends to lower or obscure visibility. When driving out of the city, remember to set your GPS before starting your journey.
  • In Fort Wayne, rush hour is around 5pm to 6pm on weekdays. It is recommended to drive before or after 5pm and 6pm respectively. Even so, the rush hour is relatively smooth, with less clogging up of cars compared to other cities. Remember to be aware and follow traffic regulations as you navigate Fort Wayne’s streets.
  • Book your rental car in Fort Wayne at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Fort Wayne are around -46% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

The staff was nice, and the process of picking up and dropping off was super-fast and easy.

Cons:

I got a hot deal car, so my expectations were extremely low, and still the car did not live up. I got an ugly blue Chevy Spark. The car was TINY, both front to back and side to side - I've been in go-carts with more room. I'm not even 6' tall, and I barely fit. My brother and I literally couldn't fit in this car together at the same time. This was bad enough, but what I paid per day was nearly twice what I've paid for a Mercedes or BMW in the past. Sadly this was still the best experience I've had renting a car in Ft. Wayne. Somehow compacts have moved up to midsized status (e.g. Rav4), and prices have still gone up. This whole mess has made me less likely to rent a car, less likely to fly, less likely to travel as a whole.

Cons:

When we picked up the car it was only half full of gas. We also we're not able to rent car seats for our twin two year olds. The counter person was pleasant but less than helpful. When we returned the car the counter person was awesome. I wish car seat rental options were available when reserving the vehicle.

KAYAK

Pros:

Everyone I spoke to was helpful. They provided electronic copies of everything, so it saves paper and the environment, plus convenient. They had vehicle I requested and quickly got me in it when we arrived at the location. Drop off after trip was simple too.

Cons:

I scheduled a pick up at least a day in advance and waited over an hour for the ride to appear. I rented a minivan (reserved in January and got it in August) and they asked if I would switch down because they were short on vans that day. The van wasn't totally clean. Nor was I offered prepaid fuel.

We were on our way to pick up the car and we were notified that they did not have a car available. Claimed that people had brought back damaged cars & that they could not use them. We waited for 3 days to see if they would be able to get us a car. They were not. So we gave up.

we didn't get the car, they accepted our Visa/debit card for the reservation, however, after driving 35 miles out of our way to the airport to pickup in our motor home & showing multiple ID, including Cash, they don't accept cash nor debit card ! We have credit card, forgot to bring new one in wallet, we had the expired one. This is not stated on their website anywhere, since when is cash or Debit/ Visa not good? It isn't like they cannot obtain $ instantly, nor bill for more. Very frustrating. will never rent from them again !
