Why is renting a car from an airport branch more expensive?
Rentals from airport branches are generally more expensive than regular ones. Their price increases due to taxes and various fees. One of these fees is the so-called airport fee. Every car rental company based at the airport must pay a fee to the airport for renting you a car. Another fee is, for example, a parking fee, because car rental vehicles have to pay parking fees at the airport even when cars are not being used. All these costs are reflected in the final rental prices.
How can you avoid paying airport fees?
Of course, the best way to avoid airport charges is not to rent a car from an airport branch. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, use the airport transfer, taxi or UBER, and transport yourself to the nearest car rental branch situated downtown.
Another option is to use the Meet & Greet Service, which is provided by many car rental companies. In this case, the car rental company is not based directly at the airport and the car will be brought to you there at the agreed time. Similarly, the vehicle can be brought to another pre-arranged location.
Can I rent a car from the airport when not arriving by plane?
The answer is very simple - yes. Car rentals from the airport branch are not tied to the air transport. However, it is true that these rentals are significantly more expensive compared to regular ones.
