Use a cc not a debt card. They hold an additional $300 on all debt cards. Doesn’t seem fair. Thank you

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Allentown

  • When you plan your vacation to Allentown, one of the major concerns you may have is whether you’ll be able to fulfill your itinerary within your stipulated timeframe. More so if you have to use public transportation. There’s a certain flexibility and convenience that comes with having a car as you cruise about in a new city. Most rental cars in Allentown are equipped with GPS and navigational technology, so getting lost is nothing to worry about. You also get the opportunity to experience some of the hidden gems inside and outside the city. For example, the Mattress Factory, which houses one-of-a-kind art installations and exhibitions, is 31 miles away. You can also hit the road in your rental car and take in the scenery all the way to the Mercer Museum & Fonthill Castle, located about 31 miles away as well.
  • Once you arrive at the Leigh Valley International Airport, you’ll have your pick from Allentown car rentals. The rental car counters can be found in the terminal close to the baggage claim. You’ll pick up your car outside the terminal, in the same location where you’ll bring it back when the trip is over. You can choose from multiple car rentals in Allentown, including Alamo, Enterprise, and Budget.
  • Once you hit the road in your Allentown rental car, some of the things you should be wary of are farm equipment and horse-drawn vehicles. Most of these vehicles are slow-moving, so if you’re not careful, they can present unfamiliar hazards. Most rural roads in Allentown may also be harder to maneuver because you’re likely to experience grassy berms and loose gravel. You may also come across unexpected turns and sharp dips, some of which may present driving challenges for new drivers to the area.
  • When driving in Allentown, the Airport Road northbound between Union Boulevard and Lloyd Street can be very congested, and you need to drive carefully here. Route 145 can also get backed up during high-traffic hours. The same goes for North 7th Street between West Union Street and West Green Street and eastbound route 222 Hamilton Boulevard close to North 15th Street. You may also want to be careful on South 4th Street and Union Boulevard, as the intersections can be quite hectic to maneuver.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Allentown for £35 or less
  • Medium hire cars in Allentown are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Allentown

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Allentown?

    Allentown has average rush hours, which start early at around 6am and stretch all the way to 9am. In the evening, it’s advisable to avoid commuting between 4pm and 6pm. If you have to travel during these hours, give yourself extra time as you may get caught in traffic. If you travel to Allentown during winter, expect slow-moving winter storms and the possibility of high wind gusts and slick roads.

  • What’s the speed limit in Allentown?

    Allentown may not be a major city, but it is usually brimming with cars. Having a compact car will go a long way in helping you navigate the busy roads. However, if you intend to venture out into the rural areas where the roads may contain loose gravel, a four-wheel-drive will serve you better. Consider renting a compact SUV, which is suitable for both on-road and off-road adventures.
