  • Take a look at the options available with Enterprise, Dollar and Budget. They're the most popular providers at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.

  • Whether you choose Enterprise or a different supplier, double-check the coverage on your Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport car rental. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as a paid extra.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to cheaper deals. Simply click 'Return car to a different location' when browsing for a car for rent in AVP. Providers sometimes have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can lock in some fantastic one-way prices.

  • Go from zero to adventure once you've picked up the keys to your AVP car rental. You've got the freedom to follow your own road, but if you're headed to central Wilkes-Barre, it'll take you about 20 minutes to drive the 23 kilometres or so south-west.

  • Don't need a set of wheels as soon as you arrive? Consider collecting a car hire in Wilkes-Barre instead of at the airport. That way, you won't pay for days you don't use.
