KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Vandalia

  • Driving car rentals in Vandalia is a wonderful way to see this small city, a suburb just north of Dayton, Ohio. In Vandalia car rentals, you can see who you want when you want, without being restricted by public transportation schedules or transit stops. In car rentals in Vandalia, you can visit local attractions including The National Museum of the US Air Force, Carillon Historical Park, and the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center. You will also have the freedom to explore places such as Columbus to the east, Detroit to the north, Indianapolis to the west, and Knoxville to the south.
  • Located about 3 miles west of downtown Vandalia, the Dayton International Airport (DAY) makes the ideal location for picking up car rentals in Vandalia. Once you exit arrivals at DAY, walk straight ahead across the roadway to where you will find the building housing rental car counters, immediately adjacent to the parking garage and long-term parking lot. The cars will be parked just outside the building housing the car rental counters, and this is also where you will return your rental cars.
  • Those driving car rentals in Vandalia will experience relatively stress-free driving. Even during the peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm, Vandalia traffic and nearby Dayton traffic will add only 5 to 10 minutes to your travel time. The average commute time in Vandalia is far lower than the national average, which is good news for those traveling to Vandalia for business. Vandalia has an active bike culture, so those driving car rentals in Vandalia in nicer weather must stay vigilant for those on bicycles and remember to always give them the right of way.
  • One area you might want to avoid driving in Vandalia, if possible, is National Road near the entrance and exit ramps to I-75. Because there are so many warehouses built near Dayton International Airport, which is adjacent to Vandalia, many commercial trucks tend to cut through Vandalia to get to I-75, and they tend to cause traffic congestion. Outside of downtown Vandalia, the city tends to have a rural feel to it, which means that you need to be aware of wildlife darting into the road. If you see a deer, for instance, stop and let the deer cross and wait to see if there are other deer following.
  • Book your rental car in Vandalia at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Vandalia are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

I will never have them put me in a Kia Soul again. The most uncomfortable seats, not to mention no trunk room. It was an awful experience my back and neck won’t soon forget.

Pros:

I liked the size of the car and how clean it was

Cons:

I was unable to actually rent through them and they lied to my five multiple times, employees told me they were the only rental company who could take debit cards, and they also claimed to be the easiest one to use, but I went right down the street and the Avis people were far more helpful

Pros:

Staff were efficient and friendly (if not very helpful when trying to make changes).

Cons:

I booked a compact car because I wanted a fuel-efficient compact car. What I GOT was an SUV. Wouldn't change my "upgrade" even though there were quite a few compact cars in the Avis lot.

You need to read the fine print. On site it says you can use a debt card to pay for your rental but with a $250 deposit. That's not true! I drove up to pick my rental car and they told me different. Major credit card only.

Cars ALWAYS dirty there. I have rented many cars from this location. The cars are always dirty on the outside and 3 times I have found trash in the inside of the vehicles. Floor mats missing, bad odors.

I reserved a minivan for a weekend getaway and they didn't have one available. I was told at the counter that that all vans were reserved for the last 3 weeks because of a big event. With that being said my trip was ruined. Do let people reserve a vehicle if you dont have any available its miss leading and can ruin a vacation

The first car to which I was assigned smelled terribly of cigarette smoke. I had to go back to the counter and wait in line behind several other customers to ask to be assigned to another vehicle. The representative, while not very pleasant and certainly not apologetic, did give me another vehicle, which was not very clean. The vehicle (Ford Escape) performed fine and then the drop-off on return was quick and easy.

Getting in and out of the Budget garage is awful, but the rest of the experience was great.
