Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport (SPI)?
Take your pick of a good selection of rental car suppliers not far from the airport. Enterprise, Budget and Avis are popular with travellers. Hertz and National Car Rental are a couple of other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Rochester car reservation?
Don't stress! If you can cancel your prepaid rental more than six hours before pickup, you'll most likely receive a complete refund. It's a good idea to scan the rental policy as there are some exclusions. Head to our Customer Service Portal for more info.

Premium, full-size, intermediate ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Rochester. If you're after something small and cost-effective, but not too small, this rental car category is the perfect choice. Driving around traffic-filled streets will be easy in one of these. Compact cars offer a little more room compared to economy rides and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rochester?
Rochester rules state drivers must be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Rochester?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between providers, so be sure to check before booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rochester?
You can, and the terrific news is providers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Rochester and drive off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Rochester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Rochester outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
