The afternoon rush hour is when the real traffic builds up, though, and drivers are advised to avoid many of the major avenues and highways from 4:00 p.m. The morning rush hour usually starts up at 6:00 a.m. Rush hour in Albany, while not as severe as it is in New York City, can still pack a punch.This is also because Albany has a high density of attractions in the downtown area, so people often walk between them. During such times, jaywalking can become very common and traffic has to slow down as a result. This is particularly the case during evenings in the summer when the weather is especially pleasant.

Albany’s downtown area is chock full of pedestrians and bikers.Planning on beginning your trip in Albany with a stop at the rental car counter? For travelers with flights landing at Albany International Airport, you will find the rental car offices located next to Baggage Claim and the cars themselves in the airport parking garage.

This is especially the case at night when bus service slows down. For instance, if you are staying outside of downtown Albany and you want to get downtown, it is a simple 10 to 15-minute drive, but via public transportation it can easily take 30 or 40 minutes. There simply is no better way to get around town, especially if you plan on going out and taking in the sights.

Like many cities in the U.S., Albany is best explored with a car.

The lines at the other desks were the sole reason I rented with Enterprise. Way too much BS to go through especially when surrounded by other car rental services in the airport who are also trying to get rid of cars over the weekend. I almost cancelled all together because of this until miraculously I rented an upgraded car for a discounted rate (that was still an upsell for him) after explaining I know how this works. I was taking a car off his hands for the weekend that would otherwise badly affect his numbers. 1.) Because my rate was booked independent of the insurance I hadn't opted into yet, and 2.) Because this was Saturday morning. Then I was told that the car rate was going up because of this. I am also aware that you do not even need this insurance, so I asked him to forget it all together. I had it right on the paper print out but he acted 'surprised.' I am smart enough to know that this was an attempted upsell. Once finally at the counter, the sales rep tried to tell me the insurance I could opt for at $9/day was $14/day. I have had to take shuttles about a mile away from the airport in different locations to pickup rental cars in the past, so the initial directions taking me past the airport did not seem out of the ordinary for pickup at first. The literal hike back to where I knew the Enterprise booth was at the airport (at a completely different address than was listed on my itinerary), was a complete waste of my time. It was the Enterprise gated lot where the inventory is kept, a mile away. Pros: I liked the final price and the choice of car.Ĭons: The pickup location listed on the itinerary was not the pickup location.
