KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Johnstown

  • Johnstown is a city that offers numerous attractions and activities within its limits and surrounding areas. Renting a car allows you the flexibility to create your own schedule and visit these places at your own pace, as public transportation schedules or limited routes won't restrict you. In addition, Johnstown is located close to several beautiful outdoor destinations, such as the Laurel Highlands and Allegheny National Forest. Having Johnstown car rentals lets you easily access these areas, allowing you to explore the stunning natural landscapes, go hiking, fish, or experience scenic drives.
  • Latrobe Westmoreland County Airport (LBE) is approximately 35 miles from Johnstown. The rental car desks at LBE are situated inside the airport terminal building and are all located in one area. Johnstown Cambria County Airport (JST) is located about 3 miles from the city center and is the main airport that serves Johnstown. There are no rental car offices located at the airport. However, a few rental car agencies provide a pick-up and drop-off service at JST, but this service must be arranged in advance.
  • If you plan to drive cheap car rentals in Johnstown, there are a few things you should be aware of before hitting the road. Firstly, Johnstown is a small city, and the streets are typically narrow, so you should be cautious when driving, especially on roads with ongoing construction, as the lines between lanes can be blurry. Bicycles are generally not very common in Johnstown, and there aren't many dedicated bike lanes. However, you should be mindful of pedestrians, as they tend to walk on the roadsides, especially in the downtown area, despite there being sidewalks.
  • Johnstown is a small city, and the traffic in the area is generally moderate. Rush hour traffic can occur on the main roads, such as Route 56 and Route 219, from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. It is advisable to avoid these roads during rush hour times if possible. During the winter season, Johnstown can experience heavy snowfalls, making driving cheap car rentals in Johnstown difficult. The road conditions can be slippery, and visibility can be low, making it challenging for drivers to navigate the roads.

The process of using a debit card and their verification demands are just a bit over the top in my opinion.
