What car rental companies are easiest to use at this airport?

In general, the best choice for travelers that are looking for a speedy rental car experience is to use the largest rental car companies, such as Avis in Hertz. Not only do they have locations that are closest to the airport terminal buildings compared to other companies, but each of these locations will also have ample signage directing travelers to the cars they have rented, thus eliminating the need to wait in line or interact with staff when getting a car. Search rental cars on KAYAK

What type of documentation will I need to rent a car at the airport?

If you are traveling to St. Louis from any state in the United States, all you will need to rent a car is a valid driver's license that is in the name of the person renting a car. If you are traveling to St. Louis from a country other than the United States, you can use a valid driver's license issued by your country of origin. In addition, you will also need a valid passport to present to the rental car company to rent a vehicle. Search rental cars on KAYAK

How long is it going to take me to get from the airport terminal building to my rental car company?

One of the advantages of car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport (STL) is that all the rental car companies have a location adjacent to the southern end of the airport property, which makes them convenient for those travelers arriving at the airport. From there, you will have easy access to Interstate 70 and will quickly be connected to the entire freeway and highway system in the city, making the trip to your destination quick and convenient.
The real advantage of car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport, as opposed to other forms of transportation, is a combination of both speed and cost-effectiveness. There are public transportation options available to take you downtown from the airport, but these can take more than 30min, plus travelers will need to figure out what to do if they have a lot of luggage to take with them. While taking a taxi is also an option, fares to take you to downtown St. Louis can be an excess of around $35. So, when you combine the speed of travel and the rather cost-effective nature of renting a car, choosing a rental car at this airport is a great option for travelers.
While all the rental car companies that offer car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport have a location offsite from the airport, the airport offers a free shuttle service that operates 24h per day and seven days per week from the terminal buildings to the rental car locations. To meet the shuttles, travelers should depart from Exit 17 of Terminal 1 and Exit 12 at Terminal 2.
Travelers should remember that when they are returning their Lambert-St Louis Airport car rental that they do not want to bring it back directly to the terminal building. Rental car companies expect drivers to bring the car back to the same lot from where they rented a car. Once you've dropped off your car, the same shuttle that brought you to the rental car center from the airport can bring you back to the airport terminal building quickly and conveniently.
Book your rental car at St. Louis Lambert Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Filled up tank -apparently it wasn’t tiptop full, but it had stopped so budget charged me $5.00 for gas. Pretty chapped about it actually. Staff was ok, but it was confusing to pick up/drop off in a tent. ? Wasn’t going to say anything about tent service but since they are being petty about gas. Travel a lot, never had as much confusion as to where to pick up/drop off and never in a tent.🤔

I got flat out denied to rent a vehicle due to not having a credit card with a high enough limit but plenty of money via debit card to cover anything necessary. Rental car companies take debit cards and have zero issues. I provide a deposit, all money for the rental, rental car insurance, etc. How is it that my credit rating is any concern? I can literally pay you up front, my driving history is practically spotless. I have no criminal history. Why can I not rent a car? If it wasn’t for Jerry at Avis and approval from management, I would’ve been stranded during a move. STL area has no vehicles to rent outside the airport and you can’t do the same processes you can at a non airport location. I had to rent a second vehicle from 2 hours away to finish my trip. Make it make sense and shame on Kayak for putting me through this.

The airport location I picked it up at (Lambert-St. Louis) the Enterprise signage was not very prominent so it was little confusing finding it.

Terrible. Was charged smoking fee and I dont even smoke. The car was disgusting when I picked it up but they only had one full size option and there were long lines to get it changed - so I kept it because we were in a hurry. We had the car one day, i do not smoke, but charged a significant smoking fee. Working on it with hertz but its the last time i am renting from them.

They were unapologetic that not informing me there would be no airport pickup or way to get the car I reserved left me stranded and scrambling to find a rental car last minute. I will Never do business with Dollar again. I suggest removing this Dollar store from your lists so this does not happen to anyone else.

At pickup, two employees were having a "robust" conversation as to who was responsible for listening to the vehicle numbers radioed back to them. It was a "passionate" conversation that prevented work from continuing. The conditions of some of the vehicles were a bit concerning. The F-150 clearly needed an alignment which could have been a safety issue. Another customer (disabled vet) was provided a Charger that had been in an accident. He waited around for roughly an half hour for help but no one came. He loaded his wheelchair into the trunk and left.

Long line because the checkout process hasn't changed in 30 years. Slow computers and too many unnecessary steps. Person offered me a pickup truck to get out faster. Got to the truck and someone else was in it. Then they gave me another car which was smoked in. Had to return to another Avis. They had no cars to swap but gave me a minivan that didn't have smoke, but wasn't clean. Worst rental experience ever. Will never use Avis ever again. It will go bankrupt.

When we picked up the car and went outside, the two greeters were chatting and showing pictures on their iPhones. After waiting a couple of minutes I had to ask if they were the greeters that were to get my car. We were anticipating getting a Camry as that was what was advertised and that is a car we were familiar with. The only car in the row of full-size cars was one !!! Impala. They radioed to someone and an assistant manager came out and began going off to bring up other cars. By this time, there were several other customers wanting any car to get onto their Business appointments. After considerable confusion, the assistant manager offered us a Hyundai Kona, telling us it was a considerable upgrade. We did not feel that it had much acceleration since we were having to get on the interstate and drive a couple of hours to our destination. When we returned the car on Natural Bridge Road coming from the east, we and five other customers turned in where it says “drop off.” along the fence. We parked the car and took our bags to the shuttle location only to find that we had left the car in an incorrect space and should have come down to the light at the next street to find your entry drive for drop off. This was considerably wearing on us in the heat to walk back with bags etc. Our wish would be a different sign at that turn in. I do wish to say that when we picked up the car, the shuttle drivers and the desk staff were more than polite, efficient and helpful. They are your stars. We would wish for a Code or number for discount that would make us return to Alamo as I am the one who does the booking. When my husband was working, he had a code for National and we always enjoyed the nice cars that we used during those years. Everything has changed since those days and that number is no longer recognized or honored. Thank you for your wish for feedback I do not wish to be a complainer as we recognize how difficult good service is to find these days. Mrs. Steve Stone
