Top tips for hiring a car at St. Louis Lambert Airport
One of the advantages of car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport (STL) is that all the rental car companies have a location adjacent to the southern end of the airport property, which makes them convenient for those travelers arriving at the airport. From there, you will have easy access to Interstate 70 and will quickly be connected to the entire freeway and highway system in the city, making the trip to your destination quick and convenient.
The real advantage of car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport, as opposed to other forms of transportation, is a combination of both speed and cost-effectiveness. There are public transportation options available to take you downtown from the airport, but these can take more than 30min, plus travelers will need to figure out what to do if they have a lot of luggage to take with them. While taking a taxi is also an option, fares to take you to downtown St. Louis can be an excess of around $35. So, when you combine the speed of travel and the rather cost-effective nature of renting a car, choosing a rental car at this airport is a great option for travelers.
While all the rental car companies that offer car rental at Lambert-St Louis Airport have a location offsite from the airport, the airport offers a free shuttle service that operates 24h per day and seven days per week from the terminal buildings to the rental car locations. To meet the shuttles, travelers should depart from Exit 17 of Terminal 1 and Exit 12 at Terminal 2.
Travelers should remember that when they are returning their Lambert-St Louis Airport car rental that they do not want to bring it back directly to the terminal building. Rental car companies expect drivers to bring the car back to the same lot from where they rented a car. Once you've dropped off your car, the same shuttle that brought you to the rental car center from the airport can bring you back to the airport terminal building quickly and conveniently.

FAQs about hiring a car at St. Louis Lambert Airport
What car rental companies are easiest to use at this airport?
In general, the best choice for travelers that are looking for a speedy rental car experience is to use the largest rental car companies, such as Avis in Hertz. Not only do they have locations that are closest to the airport terminal buildings compared to other companies, but each of these locations will also have ample signage directing travelers to the cars they have rented, thus eliminating the need to wait in line or interact with staff when getting a car.
What type of documentation will I need to rent a car at the airport?
If you are traveling to St. Louis from any state in the United States, all you will need to rent a car is a valid driver's license that is in the name of the person renting a car. If you are traveling to St. Louis from a country other than the United States, you can use a valid driver's license issued by your country of origin. In addition, you will also need a valid passport to present to the rental car company to rent a vehicle.
How long is it going to take me to get from the airport terminal building to my rental car company?
Because all the rental car companies that offer service at this airport have a location that is just south of the airport property, you will find that the trip time to any rental car company from the terminal building should take around 3 to 5min time, depending on traffic conditions.

Lambert-St Louis Airport car hire reviews and directory
They literally charged me for items I didn't agree to. Budget Case: 79716872 Reservation: 40238280US5 Rental Agreement: U218994193 In my recent car rental (ref 12794843 from QEEQ, searched through Kayak), I was charged $381.80 and paid in advance. The bill showed $0 due at pickup. From the vendor, Budget, I received another charge of $263 upon returning the vehicle. For refueling option and an upgrade, I had agreed to neither at pickup. The car was a "mystery car" booked through QEEQ - I had no choice in the vehicle selection, let alone on any upgrade. I specifically declined the refueling option, and returned the vehicle with a full tank.

This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had with renting a car. I had to wait over an hour for the budget employee to find a car for me that I had already reserved. By the time I finally got a car it was not the model I asked for and the car was disgusting and very dirty. Hair all over the seats and it smelled bad. I will never use Budget at the St Louis airport again.

I was paying with a debit card, and due to the fact that I didn't have a credit card they charged me an additional $30 per day for insurance. I was not informed before my rental until I was already there. My mother was extremely sick and I needed to drive to see her, and they were holding this car until I got charged more than advertized.

Took 45 min to get to the desk to get my car. There were only two agents and 30 people trying to get a car. I will never use this service in STL again.
Received what I reserved, was full of fuel, was clean and performed as it should have.

The reservation was for 7pm drop off but the office was closed. There were no instructions and it took forever to reach a customer service agent over the phone. In the end I had to leave the car 7pm on saturday and assume liability for it being parked there unattended until they opened again on Monday. Would never rent from Hertz again. They blamed Kayak for not making me aware.

Terrible. Was charged smoking fee and I dont even smoke. The car was disgusting when I picked it up but they only had one full size option and there were long lines to get it changed - so I kept it because we were in a hurry. We had the car one day, i do not smoke, but charged a significant smoking fee. Working on it with hertz but its the last time i am renting from them.
They were closed at 10pm and my booking was for 10:30

When we picked up the car and went outside, the two greeters were chatting and showing pictures on their iPhones. After waiting a couple of minutes I had to ask if they were the greeters that were to get my car. We were anticipating getting a Camry as that was what was advertised and that is a car we were familiar with. The only car in the row of full-size cars was one !!! Impala. They radioed to someone and an assistant manager came out and began going off to bring up other cars. By this time, there were several other customers wanting any car to get onto their Business appointments. After considerable confusion, the assistant manager offered us a Hyundai Kona, telling us it was a considerable upgrade. We did not feel that it had much acceleration since we were having to get on the interstate and drive a couple of hours to our destination. When we returned the car on Natural Bridge Road coming from the east, we and five other customers turned in where it says “drop off.” along the fence. We parked the car and took our bags to the shuttle location only to find that we had left the car in an incorrect space and should have come down to the light at the next street to find your entry drive for drop off. This was considerably wearing on us in the heat to walk back with bags etc. Our wish would be a different sign at that turn in. I do wish to say that when we picked up the car, the shuttle drivers and the desk staff were more than polite, efficient and helpful. They are your stars. We would wish for a Code or number for discount that would make us return to Alamo as I am the one who does the booking. When my husband was working, he had a code for National and we always enjoyed the nice cars that we used during those years. Everything has changed since those days and that number is no longer recognized or honored. Thank you for your wish for feedback I do not wish to be a complainer as we recognize how difficult good service is to find these days. Mrs. Steve Stone

At pickup, two employees were having a "robust" conversation as to who was responsible for listening to the vehicle numbers radioed back to them. It was a "passionate" conversation that prevented work from continuing. The conditions of some of the vehicles were a bit concerning. The F-150 clearly needed an alignment which could have been a safety issue. Another customer (disabled vet) was provided a Charger that had been in an accident. He waited around for roughly an half hour for help but no one came. He loaded his wheelchair into the trunk and left.

Terrible. They basically took my money and made me pay $120 in uber fees there and back because they weren’t accepting my form of payment which was from my bank account . I’ve used that card as credit and they wouldn’t even try to run it even though I know it would’ve went through as it has before at other places when I have to run it as credit. My bank even said they should’ve ran it and it would’ve been fine.

Long line at pick up with only one agent available to assist customers. A second was back from lunch break but the process was slow. Waited in line for an hour before getting a dirty car, though clean on the inside. Drop off was a much better experience.
