Cheap Car Hire at Pittsburgh Amtrak

If you need to park at the station, check parking facilities and fees in advance for convenience.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Pittsburgh, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

If you are travelling to Pittsburgh and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Find suppliers with locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Before heading to the station, make sure to check the rental company's opening hours to avoid arriving when they are closed.
