Cheap car rentals at Sarasota Bradenton Intl airport
Top tips for renting a car at Sarasota Bradenton Intl airport
- There are several ways of getting from Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SQR) to Sarasota and its neighborhoods. However, car rentals are by far the most convenient way of getting around Sarasota. This is because car rentals offer you the freedom and flexibility to get to Sarasota's eateries, museums, and local attractions. Unlike public transport, you won't have to worry about schedules and fare hikes. With car rentals, travelers are confident of their destinations. Plus, you can bring any size of luggage with you during your trip without limit.
- There are over ten car rental companies located on-site at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. This means that travelers are spoilt for choices with many companies to choose from and a vast collection of car categories. There are car rental companies located on the baggage claim wing for passengers arriving at the airport. The cars are an easy walk from the counters, and travelers won't need a shuttle ride to the rental area. Most car rental companies offer services between 6.30 am and 12.15 am. Travelers that need car rentals past these hours can opt for offsite companies since on-site companies do not provide after-hours pick-up services.
- Returning car rentals at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is an easy process. Most car rental companies have the same pick-up and drop-off locations, so if you picked the car at the airport, we recommend returning to the airport to avoid extra charges. Before returning car rentals at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, check with the fuel policy. For a full-on-full fuel policy, fill up the gas tank before returning Sarasota Bradenton International Airport car rentals to avoid extra costs. As soon as you get to the parking lot, take out all your items, then park and lock the car, then hand in the keys with the rental agreement at the car rental counters. Most companies have after-hour services for customers to drop off car rentals at any time.
- Mondays to Wednesdays are the busiest days to pick up Sarasota Bradenton International Airport's car rentals. On most days, from 8 am to 10 am, 1 pm to 3 pm, and 6 pm to 9 pm are the most hectic hours to pick up car rentals. This means queuing at the rental counter's desk. If you wish to avoid this, significant companies offer online reservations. If you reserve earlier, you can skip the counter process and find your rental car at the parking spot. In such cases, there are self-service kiosks to input your information and pick the keys. Alternatively, you can organize offsite rental companies to pick you up at the airport as soon as you arrive.
- Book your rental car at Sarasota Bradenton Intl airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Beautiful car. Paid for gas ahead.. so no problem. Returned with 1/2 tank.. Not sure I will do that again.Cons:
Return was a real headache. I called day before to make sure ok to return before 4:00 am due to flight at 5:00 am, NO ENVELOPES at either key drop site!!! Dropped car off in parking lot. NO Envelopes! Ran back to make sure my 82 year old friend was ok at Delta counter. Then ran back to actual counter INSIDE airport. NO Envelopes. Ripped off a piece of paper and wrote info on it. Folded paper around key and had to practically stand on my head to get key in slot!!! By then I was exhausted. What can you say to me about this?? Curious if anyone will reach out to me since I treated the car with kid gloves!! ???10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The 2nd car was clean & in good working condition. Try’s car w/ cracked windshield & followed all instructions when I called in & got case #, did follow up before returning car. Simple “incident report” done upon return, easy, 15 min to do paperwork so was impressed they gave outside service, avoiding lines inside terminal.Cons:
Initial car had obvious front end or alignment problem that should have never been rented out. Caused me to return next day for replacement. Eating my valuable vacation time.2.0 Poor

Pros:
That eventually I got a small car.Cons:
Had reserved a small car -- but only a truck was available. Was told to come back the next day, when there would be plenty of cars, and swap it out for a small car. Did that -- told us that no cars were available (all cars reserved -- tho of course my car was reserved too). Told to come back the next day between 8-10am -- when there would surely be plenty of cars. Did...and after 30 minutes (first saying there were no cars) they found a small car. Incidentally, had tried to call ahead each time but the main office didn't know the local car situation and no one answered the phone at the local office. Local office told me that they don't have anyone available to answer the phone. This isn't a problem that can be solved without people driving all the way to the airport to find out if there are cars available?9.2 Wonderful

Staff very friendly but had to cover three different rental agencies with two people and a long line. I felt very bad for them as some of the crowd were nasty and it was not their fault.Cons:
