We get that plans can change at short notice. That's why the majority of reservations allow for your money back if you cancel a minimum of six hours before pickup. Your rental policy should have all the info you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
Where can I go on a road trip from Schenectady?
Schenectady has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Head to Syracuse for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. About 177 kilometres from Schenectady, it has loads of cool attractions like Museum of Science and Technology.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Schenectady with Expedia?
Scoring an amazing deal on your Schenectady rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare the offers across leading brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll unlock even bigger savings when you create a holiday package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Schenectady?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and over can rent a car in Schenectady. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before making your reservation. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Schenectady?
In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check while booking.
What is the cheapest car rental in Schenectady?
The two lowest daily rates recorded in Schenectady within the past seven days were AU$127 and AU$220. How's that for a great deal? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Schenectady?
You can. We partner with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for a wide range of cars. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every part of Schenectady — or beyond!
Where can I find a Schenectady car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Schenectady often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape excessive charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Schenectady with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
