Why Not Rent At the Airport?

When Bronx residents think of renting a car, many think they need to travel to the airport, but several rent a car companies are located right here in the Bronx. Among those companies is Allcar Rent-a-Car's newest location right here in the Bronx at 35 West 170 Street. Bronx residents no longer need to travel to rent a car. Bronx car rentals offer them several advantages over renting at an airport.

Bronx Car Rentals Provide a Better Location

Renting a car from Allcar Rent-a-Car in the Bronx couldn't be easier. The Bronx doesn't have any airports, which means that a Bronx resident would have to travel all the way to LaGuardia, JFK, or Newark to rent a car at the airport. Since the person needing to rent a car likely does not have one, you would have to spend a substantial amount of money to take a cab to the airport first.

However, you can conveniently get your Bronx car rentals from Allcar in the Bronx, only a few blocks from New York Yankee Stadium. The Allcar location is close to several bus lines and subway stops, whereas the airport locations are not served by any subway lines.

Lower Costs

Bronx car rentals will also lower your costs. If you were to rent a car at the airport, you might incur additional fees and taxes, since there are surcharges and taxes that are imposed at airport rental car locations but that are not imposed at local, in City, or suburban locations. The additional tax or airport fees don't apply at Allcar Rent-a-Car's location in the Bronx.

Using Bronx car rentals also often offers several advantages that a Bronx resident wouldn't get when renting a car at the airport. Many airport-based rental car companies don't want to serve the local New York City resident. Several impose a surcharge on residents who live in New York's outer boroughs, such as the Bronx or Brooklyn. The purpose of the surcharge is to discourage local residents from renting a car at the airport because the airport rental companies prefer to rent cars to people from out of town or those who are renting cars for business and are likely covered by a business car insurance policy. You don't have to deal with this when renting in the Bronx.

The cost of vehicle insurance and the risk of potential automobile accident claims are the biggest controllable expense for a car rental company. Statistically speaking, when a rental car company (whether it's at the airport or in the Bronx) rents to someone who comes from overseas or another state, or to someone renting a car while on a business trip, the cost of insurance liability risk is lower for the rental car company. Because of this, the airport rental car company prefers to rent to an out-of-town customer rather than to a local Bronx resident.

Many Ways to Pay

When you use Bronx car rentals, you're also supporting the local economy. Allcar Rent-a-Car is a local car rental company that employs Bronx residents and looks to rent cars to people living and working in the Bronx.

Allcar makes it easy to rent a car locally since they accept debit cards, cash, and credit cards as a deposit. The airport companies will typically only accept credit cards. Because Allcar Rent-a-Car is a local Bronx rental car company, they have a lower staff turnover and a greater emphasis on serving the local consumer rather than serving the out-of-town traveler or business person.
