Top tips for hiring a car at Joplin airport

  • One fantastic reason to select a car rental at Joplin Airport (JLN) is the flexibility it affords you. There are no public transportation options to get from the airport to the town of Joplin. A rental car lets you get to Joplin from the terminal quickly and gives you a great transportation option during your stay without having to rely on higher-cost transportation options like taxis and rideshare vehicles.
  • One of the great advantages of a Joplin Airport car rental is that you have the option to choose from two well-known rental companies that you are likely familiar with. Both of these companies provide convenient service desks located right next to the baggage claim area, allowing you to quickly collect your bags and proceed to the rental counter. Once you've completed the necessary paperwork, you can easily find the rental cars parked just outside the terminal building, in close proximity to the baggage claim area.
  • When the time comes to return your car rental at Joplin Airport, simply drive back to the airport and locate the designated rental car return area, which is typically the same lot where you initially picked up your car. Look for the marked spots designated for your rental company and park your vehicle securely. Next, you have a couple of options for returning the keys. For a more convenient option, you can bring the keys and any necessary paperwork into the terminal and drop them off at the service desk of your rental company. Alternatively, you may find a drop box specifically provided by your rental company in the return lot.
  • The busiest times for dropping off or picking up a rental car will be during the peak travel periods at the airport. Typically, mornings are busier at the airport, particularly on weekdays, as passengers may be traveling for business or early morning departures. During holiday periods and school breaks, such as summer vacation or major holidays, this airport tends to see higher passenger traffic as families and leisure travelers go on trips. Inclement weather, such as snowstorms or severe weather events, can impact flight schedules and result in busier times at the airport as travelers deal with delays, cancellations, or rescheduled flights.
  • Book your car hire at Joplin airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The reason for my poor review was the car pick up experience from Loren. Most unpleasant person ever. If you view Yelp, you'll see only 1 star reviews for this location. I asked simple questions which seemed to upset him more and more. I am doing a favor for this business and it wasn't supposed to cost me anything. The business reserved the car on the business card. He would not accept or really even answer about how businesses do it. I honestly didn't have the money to put it on my credit card nor debit card. And the business wanted to be able to document this as a business expense on the business credit card, not have to transfer money from a personal account to pay for this transaction. Avis obviously has bad policies for dealing with business or just Loren's personal preference, because he flat out refused any card that didn't have my name on it, including the card it was reserved on. The form to sign says you can ask to see pictures. I said I wanted to see the car first and he said "we did that already" then I asked. Can I see what you remarked. "He told me no". I said "it says right here I can see them if I ask". He said "it's over 70 MB". And I got sick and tired of trying to ask simple questions and having him lie, be pushy, not answer, or have an attitude. He was just HORRIBLE to have to communicate with on the check out process. I just signed the agreement against my will at that point and went on to find my car. Which was in the wrong spot listed on the sheet they gave me but no way in hell was I going back to ask where the car was after dealing with Loren who acted so awful previously. Customer service was beyond terrible! I asked him "are you having a bad day?" He said "No I'm just ensuring procedures are done properly". And I said "well not very kindly". Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! Replace him with someone nice who wants this job! Loren is the worst!

The vehicle was top heavy, oversteered, and would have been dangerous in an emergency.

You guys need to get your stuff together and let people know that you have to pass a background check before renting a car. We are a company that needed a rental car to get an individual with disabilities to his Thanksgiving dinner with his family and Hertz would not let us rent a car, because his staff had to pass a background check. Thanks a lot Hertz for not letting someone with disabilities see his family. You guys are top notch! I'm sure each of you saw your family during the holidays. I will be sure and write a review on your guys page also, letting everyone know the quality of service you guys provide.

Nothing they did not even have a vehicle for me when I got there. Offered no solution and never even called. Unprofessional and Hotwire end result I had to pay out of pocket extra and go to Avis. Neither enterprise or Hotwire have offered any agreeable satisfaction or offered to pay the difference. Poor professionalism
