Roads in East Hartford are generally well-established, making them versatile. When considering the car type to rent, you first want to consider its capacity to ascertain that it meets your needs. You don't need to go for a larger vehicle if you're traveling alone with a little luggage. In that case, an economy car is a perfect option. However, when traveling in groups of three or four, look for a mid-size car. Passengers, traveling off-road locations should consider an SUV as it's well-raised to maneuver bad weather roads.
When driving your car rentals in East Hartford, beware of the varying speed limits depending on the road you drive. For instance, drive at a maximum speed of 65 mph on rural freeways and at 55 mph on rural divided roads. The speed limit in residential and business districts is 25 mph, but it's 55 mph on urban freeways. The city has posted speed limits worth your attention because they're strictly implemented.
When driving your car rentals in East Hartford, chances are high that you'll need a parking lot. Finding a parking spot in the city should be fine. However, you should consider booking a hotel with a parking lot to beat the stress of looking for one. The hotels to look for include Holiday Inn Hartford Downtown Area, Hampton Inn & Suites Hartford, Super 8 by Wyndham Hartford, and Comfort Inn & Suites East Hartford. If you consider metered or garage parking, look for spots downtown to stay closer to the essential amenities. You can park at Goodwin Garage, 100 Pearl Street Gallery Parking, or LAZ Parking Lot. Charges vary, but on average, it should cost you around $1.50 per hour to park your East Hartford car rentals.

Mar 2021
Cons:
When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, I was told that they had no vehicles available it would be at least two days before they had any. They blamed it on a glitch in their computer system and that they had had this problem before. It seems to me that’s a pretty massive problem they should work out, because I created a major disruption in my schedule and my plans, and Enterprise did nothing but say “sorry, try somewhere else.”10.0 Wonderful

The staff there were super friendly and accommodating. The representative I dealt with, Cora, was brand new to the job but handled the whole transaction seamlessly. The return was super easy as well. They even upgraded my vehicle, for no extra charge. I would definitely rent again.One location in East Hartford

Pros:
The staff was friendly and helpful.Cons:
The car was given to me in a parking garage, where it was a little dark so I didn’t see a few imperfections on the vehicle, but I didn’t have a problem when returning the vehicle. The staff didn’t record the gas correctly, so they thought I owed a balance when returning the vehicle at a half tank. Overall it worked out fine.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Decent car and decent drop off experience.Cons:
Upon pickup in Hartford, the employee was very unwilling to review scratches and damage prior to the trip and there was a lot. Employees were using vulgar raciest language with each other directly in the presence of several customers. Generally, terrible pickup location in an unsafe neighborhood.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Did not pick up car I specifcally explained a Bradley air port area pick up and when I got to Bradley to pick up the car I was told the pick up was in Hartford the rental at the airport cost me $450 dollars more. Very unhappy9.2 Wonderful
Aug 2018
Pros:
Good car, clean, well maintained. Friendly, efficient staff.Cons:
Not enough staff at the Liebert Road site. When I picked the car up there was a thunderstorm coming up, and one poor fellow had to deal with a line of people impatient to get going, another line of people wanting to return, as well as the necessary inspections of outgoing and incoming vehicles. He should never have had to do this alone. That said, he did a great job considering the circumstances.One location in East Hartford

May 2021
Pros:
Very friendly and helpful! My problem is with Priceline. They scheduled this at a downtown location, which after I got off the airplane had no way to get to before closing. System shouldn’t have allowed. I selected BDL airport and couldn’t have known what street the car rental places are. Avis worked with me but airport fees made the care over $100 more. I won’t be ordering from Priceline again. I will order from Avis directly. They are great.Cons:
See above.8.0 Very good

Oct 2020
Pros:
The convenience and service I received at the time of pick-up and drop-off. Easy and seamless.Cons:
I have never rented from Avis before but I have rented a car with other companies prior to this experience. I expected the Avis employee to walk with me to the vehicle and inspect the vehicle prior to me leaving with the vehicle. That did not happen. I was handed the keys and told I was all set. I walked to the car and noticed that it was dirty inside, leftover papers in the trunk and wrappers in the back door. About half way through my 750 mile commute I received a maintenance required notification on the dashboard for the rear seatbelts. I didn’t use the rear seat belts at all during my trip. The notification continued to prompt every time I would start the car. Just didn’t make me feel safe that all services/recalls weren’t serviced prior to letting a customer take the vehicle as a rental, especially with my lengthy trip.10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2017
Pros:
So I mistakenly thought I booked the car for the Avis location close to the airport. Took the Avis shuttle from airport to their facility, and when the agreement screen popped up, the price showed as being close to $600!! I showed the clerk my reservation, with the price I agreed to as being $136, and the clerk said “Oh, I see the problem. Your booking is with the downtown Avis location, not the airport location.” So I used a rideshare app to go the 20 minutes to the proper facility, and got the price I was promised. But - are you freaking KIDDING ME? It costs 4 times as much for the same car, with the same company, if you rent it from the airport location instead? price gouging, anyone??? On the plus side, once I was at the proper location, the transaction was very smooth and the clerk very helpful
