Your rental policy should have all the info you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
Where can I go on a road trip from Schenectady?
Schenectady has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Head to Syracuse for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. About 110 miles from Schenectady, it has loads of cool attractions like Museum of Science and Technology.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Schenectady with Expedia?
Scoring an amazing deal on your Schenectady rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare the offers across leading brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll unlock even bigger savings when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Schenectady?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and over can rent a car in Schenectady. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before making your reservation. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Schenectady?
In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check while booking.
What is the cheapest car rental in Schenectady?

You can. We partner with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for a wide range of cars. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every part of Schenectady — or beyond!
Where can I find a Schenectady car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Schenectady often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape excessive charges on pickup.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Schenectady?
You'll want to add collision protection while reserving your Schenectady rental car with Expedia. This protects your vehicle against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency assistance, you can rest easy knowing you're covered for most mishaps. It's easy to opt in to this insurance while making your booking.
