KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Vandalia
- Driving car rentals in Vandalia is a wonderful way to see this small city, a suburb just north of Dayton, Ohio. In Vandalia car rentals, you can see who you want when you want, without being restricted by public transportation schedules or transit stops. In car rentals in Vandalia, you can visit local attractions including The National Museum of the US Air Force, Carillon Historical Park, and the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center. You will also have the freedom to explore places such as Columbus to the east, Detroit to the north, Indianapolis to the west, and Knoxville to the south.
- Located about 3 miles west of downtown Vandalia, the Dayton International Airport (DAY) makes the ideal location for picking up car rentals in Vandalia. Once you exit arrivals at DAY, walk straight ahead across the roadway to where you will find the building housing rental car counters, immediately adjacent to the parking garage and long-term parking lot. The cars will be parked just outside the building housing the car rental counters, and this is also where you will return your rental cars.

Even during the peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm, Vandalia traffic and nearby Dayton traffic will add only 5 to 10 minutes to your travel time. The average commute time in Vandalia is far lower than the national average, which is good news for those traveling to Vandalia for business. Vandalia has an active bike culture, so those driving car rentals in Vandalia in nicer weather must stay vigilant for those on bicycles and remember to always give them the right of way.
- One area you might want to avoid driving in Vandalia, if possible, is National Road near the entrance and exit ramps to I-75.

Outside of downtown Vandalia, the city tends to have a rural feel to it, which means that you need to be aware of wildlife darting into the road. If you see a deer, for instance, stop and let the deer cross and wait to see if there are other deer following.

Dec 2018
Pros:
The base price was very reasonable.Cons:
It took at least 45 minutes for me to pickup the car. There were four people ahead of my in line and only one person working the counter. The car was filthy on the outside when we picked it up. It was a hard blue car with road salt completely covering the sides and side windows. The steering wheel had some brown sticky substance on it. I was planning on returning it with a full tank, so when I picked the car up I told them that. I thought I remembered a gas station close to the airport, but apparently it wasn’t where I remembered. We didn’t ace enough time to go out of our way (traveling with a young child was partly to blame) and I dropped it off and told them. I had used just over half a tank and was charged $75 to refill the tank to full. Very frustrated overall and was finally charged a lot more than I expected for a dirty product and my fault if not returning it with gas.6.0 Okay

May 2021
Pros:
I liked the size of the car and how clean it wasCons:
I was unable to actually rent through them and they lied to my five multiple times, employees told me they were the only rental company who could take debit cards, and they also claimed to be the easiest one to use, but I went right down the street and the Avis people were far more helpful6.0 Okay
Apr 2017
Pros:
Nice car with all the options, comfortable ride.Cons:
Needed large vehicle to pickup clients. Car was dirty, inside and out. Had to spend my own money to clean the car so it was acceptable for picking up business professionals. Inside was not vacuumed, chip crumbs in the door handle, some sticky white substance on the dash and several seats and candy in the creases of the rear seat. Not acceptable condition for a car going out to a customer. Cars should be cleaned inside and out when they are returned before being checked out to a new customer. Cost me $20 that I shouldn't have had to spend! Also, the system was down when I returned the car, so I was told I would receive a receipt in email. Never received the receipt, called customer service to make sure the car was showing returned, but still haven't received the receipt.8.8 Very Good

Sep 2016
Pros:
I asked for a different car after the first car they brought me had a musty smell, so they brought me a new one.Cons:
I couldn't figure out how to move the back of the seat forward and since it was pouring rain outside I didn't want to get out of the car to get a closer look. When I reached my hand down by the side of the seat my fingers were covered in a greasy substance so I gave up after that. Having my seat back too far made my 3 hour trip from Dayton to Cleveland a bit uncomfortable. The car also had a weird blind spot on the side. There was also trash in the back seat. I was expecting more for a company like Enterprise.Hertz

Pros:
Staff were efficient and friendly (if not very helpful when trying to make changes).Cons:
I booked a compact car because I wanted a fuel-efficient compact car. What I GOT was an SUV. Wouldn't change my "upgrade" even though there were quite a few compact cars in the Avis lot.6.0 Okay

Aug 2016
Pros:
I was not happy that our extra day was so expensive compared to the rest of the rental I am not sure if other rental cars make you pay for the whole tank if you buy the gas in advance. It would seem that if I pay you to refill it you would know how much is in the tank at that point and then be able to charge me later that day7.6 Good
Dec 2015
Pros:
The car (vw Passat) was clean, had great gas mileage. Very smooth ride.Cons:
Horrible odor of cigarettes. Like people, not just the person before me, totally ignored the no smoking rule and the company didn't care enough to get the odor professionally removed.7.2 Good
Dec 2015
Pros:
Good selection but so inconvenient to pick up and drop off without entering the airport. Tried to ask a question and calling the front desk was impossible for three days without going to corporate office kept being put on hold for 10 minutes only to be automatically transferred. Too much hassle for simple rental.National
