Top tips for renting a car at Wilkes-Barre Scranton airport
- A car rental at Wilkes-Barre Airport (AVP) will suffice if you're looking for convenient transportation means to and from the airport. The primary benefit you'll accrue is traveling on your terms, meaning that you won't need to follow taxi or ride-share time schedules. It's also advantageous compared to public transit means, as you'll not have to wait for a bus and risk extending your travel time longer than necessary. With a car rental, you'll minimize your travel costs, as renting a vehicle for an extended period is less costly than paying for multiple short trips.
- Renting a car in Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport is fast and straightforward, with rental counters present on-terminal. You can step out of your plane and get behind the wheels within no time. Moreover, car companies usually have their fleets of vehicles right outside the terminal, so you'll not endure any shuttle waits for drop-offs at the car lot. You can also accelerate the pick-up process by leveraging individual company resources, including amenities present to avoid long lines.
- When you're ready to return your Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport car rental, you'll find the process easy since it involves dropping off the vehicle at the familiar point you picked it up. Here, you'll head to the airport and follow the Rental Car Return signs that'll lead you to the rental car lot. From there, go to the rental agency counter and drop off the key and contract. With the after-hours service available from some companies, you can conveniently drop off the vehicle outside working hours and skip the counter.
- The I-81 stretch between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre can be challenging to maneuver during rush hour. You'll find peak travel times on the route to be around 7.30 am, 11.30 am, and 5.15 pm, with the morning rush being inbound to the city towards the airport and the evening rush outbound from the airport as you head to downtown Wilkes-Barre or Scranton. We recommend that you avoid traveling to or from the airport during rush hour if you want your car rental process to have no struggles regarding accessibility.
- Book your rental car at Wilkes-Barre Scranton airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

We had an excellent experience, nothing to improve upon. I was concerned that the vehicle we reserved may not have been waiting for us since no deposit was necessary but everything went very smooth from beginning to end.Dollar

Cons:
They told me over the phone it was 150$ deposit but when I got to the counter they said it was 250$ deposit which I did not have. Now I have to wait 10 days to get my 135$ refund for the cost of the rental which I could not rent because I didn’t have the 250$. For deposit. Poor communication. Workers should have been I sync..4.4 Mediocre
