You should generally find the best prices by selecting an off-site airport location. Airport rental car agencies offer a convenient option for renters who want to pick up a car directly from the airport. However, prices are usually higher as demand gets higher. Some off-site rental agencies offer transport services from the airport.

Rentals also price cars with unusual pricing methods in some situations. Additional fees and taxes make car rentals more expensive at the airport, and your bills will soon become too high. However, you can spend less on off-airport locations.
