Once we actually arrived in Salt Lake City, picking up the rental car was just as easy as it had been to reserve it online. Instead of waiting in line with everyone else, I was able to hand my reservation to the clerk at the counter, sign a couple of documents and she handed the keys to my rental car over to me.

Since I didn’t want to be stuck in my hotel during my entire trip, I made a point of reserving a car hire online before my trip began. Thanks to my care hire, when I did have downtime and wanted to get out of my hotel, I was able to hop in my car and go wherever I wanted (which was normally a restaurant to grab some food).

Since my different friends live throughout Salt Lake City, I knew I would be doing a lot of driving from their different homes, which meant I needed a rental car. I almost always get my rental vehicles during trips from Avis, and my Salt Lake City car rental was no different. The reason I’m loyal to Avis is because not only do they offer great prices on their rental cars throughout the US, but they are one of the few companies I know that actually understands how to treat their customers well.

Since we knew prior to our trip that we were going to be quite busy while we were in Salt Lake City, we decided that it would be a good idea to reserve a rental vehicle. Although I would normally just rent a regular car, since it was winter time, I didn’t want to encounter any problems with the weather, so I decided to rent an SUV. After reserving the SUV online, we were able to pick it up at the airport quite easily, and although the weather was what you would expect in Salt Lake City during the winter, the SUV performed extremely well and kept my family safe.

Because Thrifty has a rental location at the Salt Lake City International Airport, getting your rental car is extremely easy to do. This is especially true if you make your reservation online before you arrive in Salt Lake City. If you have never made a rental car reservation online, it is very easy to do. You simply have to visit the Thrifty website and enter the details of your trip (where you’re going, when you’re going there and what kind of car you need). You can then submit your rental criteria, and Thrifty will show you the offers that match your needs. Once you pick one of their offers, you can complete your reservation online, and your rental car will be waiting for you in Salt Lake City when you arrive.

To my pleasant surprise, all of our travel arrangements went quite smoothly. Although we had a slight delay on our flight to Salt Lake City, we ended up arriving just fifteen minutes later than our scheduled landing time. I think the thing that surprised me the most was how easy it was to get our rental car. My sister had reserved our Salt Lake City car hire online, so I was somewhat apprehensive about how things were going to turn out. Luckily, things couldn’t have gone any better. When we arrived at the Salt Lake City Airport, we got off of the plane, and the car hire company we had rented from had our car ready for us to pickup!

Even though the city was quite crazy during the Olympics, I was very glad that I made the decision to rent a car while I was there. If I hadn’t rented a car while I was in Salt Lake City, I don’t know how I would have managed to get around and get to the events that I wanted to see. I did have to deal with lots of traffic, but it was much easier than trying to deal with the overburdened public transportation in Salt Lake City. So, even though you won’t be going there for the Winter Olympics, if you visit Salt Lake City, do yourself a favor and rent a car while you are there.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods of travel.
