Where can I find car rental counters at Burlington International Airport?

Arriving passengers will find car rental counters conveniently located in the main terminal, right across the baggage conveyor belt. Specifically located at 1200 Airport Dr, the internationally renowned rent-a-car companies have desks next to each other, and you can easily choose your preferred Burlington Airport car rental. Once you're done with the booking process, you can access the vehicle onsite. From the counter, use the skywalk to access the parking lot where the car waits. Search rental cars on KAYAK

Do I have to refill my rental car's tank before returning it?

Usually, you won't find your car waiting for you with a full tank. Refilling the tank before returning depends on whether you purchased the gas during pickup or not. If you did, then you need to return the car to the same gas level you picked it. If you prefer not to refuel the tank, your car rental at Burlington flight hub will charge you according to their local rates, which are typically steeper than the standard gas prices. You can access a refueling station south of the flight hub, along Airport Dr. Search rental cars on KAYAK

You also must have a payment card (either a credit/debit card from a major provider) bearing the renter's full name. Furthermore, you'll need to have a valid, government-issued driver's license. Any foreign national will require a passport as proof of identity and an international driving license. Note that 21 to 24-year-old renters might be required to pay a daily "young renter's surcharge" and will be limited to only specific types of cars. Search rental cars on KAYAK

A rental vehicle in Burlington, VT allows you to experience the city like a local. The downtown area is located a relatively shorter distance from the flight hub. While you might consider boarding a bus or taxi, these only take you to a specific terminus, with a few stops along the way. By partnering with a car rental at Burlington Airport (BTV), you get a vehicle that you can drive to any destination you like, attend meetings in style with a classy ride, and even go off-roading with an AWD without worry of getting stuck.
Driving in Burlington is relatively easy, although it's critical to understand the traffic rules before driving around. While a continuous double yellow line in the middle of the road indicates "No Overtaking" in other countries, you are allowed to overtake unless there's a road sign indicating a "No Passing Zone". Additionally, a right-hand turn is permissible on a red light unless there's a sign telling you otherwise. If you choose to use Williston Rd 2 heading toward the city center, you can expect heavy traffic on Main St, especially during the rush hour.
Once your rental contract is over, your Burlington Airport car rental will require you to return the car within the specified time. It's easy because you return it to the exact location you pick it up. When you reach the airport, you'll see "Rental Car Return" signs leading to your rental company's designated parking lot. Is your flight scheduled to take off outside the vehicle rental operating hours? You can still return the car during the after-hours. Park the vehicles and secure the locks, drop the keys in the key safe, and you'll be ready to head to your departure terminal.
Saving money with a car rental at Burlington Airport can be tricky, considering that onsite rental companies usually include a "premium location surcharge," tax fees, and other extra costs for various things such as GPS mapping and electronic toll devices. One secret of cutting down your on-airport vehicle rental costs is to purchase your rental company's auto insurance. Not only does it reduce your liability significantly, but it also alleviates the need to pay for the additional costs.
Book your rental car at Burlington airport at least 7 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Nothing wrong. Jennifer at check in was outstanding. Only problem was difficulty getting in and out of the model 3. I have a model y and access is much easier. But that was no fault of Dollar. Otherwise, the experience was nice and smooth.

Pick up in Burlington was great—quick and easy, friendly and helpful staff. Drop off in DC at Union Station was horrible—drove around for an hour trying to find the return location, signs were either nonexistent or just plain wrong, and later got charged for fuel because the gas tank wasn’t full due to the extra hour of driving, even though staff at the drop-off location said they would waive the charges. Even at the drop-off location, almost no staff and signs, some employee had to waive me down and told me to park in a random spot to return the car rather than a proper return lane. No way to protest charges except to fill out a random feedback form.

First of all, there were no Dollar agents at the rental service and the service was handled through Hertz. Returned the rental car one day early and they stated that there would be no refund since the transaction was made through Kayak. Extremely poor customer service.

I reserved an intermediate SUV. Got email confirmation from kayak. Went to Hertz and they had reserved for me a small EV. Not big enough to fit my family. They told me if i wanted a bigger car i would have to pay more. They had no record of me requesting an intermediate SUV. They told me that I would have to talk to Kayak to get a refund. They told me they are unable to process refunds and that kayak is responsible for that. I am not sure that is true. I called hertz national customer service and they said they would refund but didnt give me a specific confirmation number. We ended up not getting the car. I still dont know if we are getting a refund

Got to New Bern, NC to return the car and no attendant could be found. Waited almost an hour and no one showed at the counter nor did they answer phone when I tried that. Left key and car. Receipt emailed me charged different rates than quoted thru Hertz on paperwork when car picked up. Tried calling Hertz and couldn’t get a person. Will call Credit card company to negate charges.

The attendant at Burlington knew I was dropping off the vehicle in Paramus NJ, but tried to give me an EV with very little range, which would not have made the trip. I got her to give me a different vehicle, but she gave me a Mustang with rear wheel drive and not great tires. Unfortunately it snowed the that night and I almost could not make it out of Burlington because the roads were not plowed. Luckily it did not snow further south and I was able to make the trip. Rear wheel drive in Vermont in the Winter is never a good idea. Had I known it was so bad in the snow, I probably would have requested a different vehicle. Luckily I am a very experienced driver and was able adapt and navigate the slick roads without incident. However, the person at the drop off in NJ was great. He was very understanding and helpful. Great employee.

Cons:

I noticed at pick up that the wheel cover was missing. I took a pic as suggested by the attendant, if I found any issues with it. When I arrived at my destination, I was asked if I had a flat tire along the way. I told him no that the wheel cover was missing when I picked it up. He told me that I was driving with a donut. I was shocked as it didn't appear smaller than the other tires and I had driven for 4 hours and 260 miles at top speeds of 75 mph. I have no idea if there was another spare in the trunk, the flat tire, or nothing. Fortunately nothing happened, but could have been ugly and never should have been rented out in that condition.

I paid for a mid sized SUV and instead was given a car no bigger than a sedan. My whole goal in paying TRIPLE the price for an suv was to feel safer while driving in the snow (there was a major snowstorm while I was there). When I complained at the counter, the lady said there was nothing she could do even though there were bigger SUVs available in the lot. Instead, I slid and slipped multiple times and was terrified I’d get into an accident. It was traumatic.

For older and physically impaired users, better description of the size, leg room, comfort and entry and exits are needed. We may not know the car name and type. To us mid-sized means a roomy sedan not a compact car. Our expectations include an odometer, easy adjustment of the steering wheel and seats. This car was like driving a roller skate. We hit our heads getting in the car, banged our knees on the dashboard and I struggled to get out of the car. Also, personnel need to offer to show the car features and explain them. We didn’t know how to remove the ignition key!
