KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Providence
Discover the cool city of Providence with Brown University and many more places of interest. Get the most out of your visit by renting a car upon your arrival and explore every nook and cranny this city has to offer. For a pleasant day trip, try venturing down to the coast, which will take about 2 hours of driving, and then take a ferry to the popular island of Martha’s Vineyard. Boston is also only 1 hour away via the I-93 S and I-94 S, and Cape Cod can be reached in just over an hour.
Green Airport is about 10 miles from Providence’s center and has a car rental center right there. Simply follow signs to the rental car service desks and pick up the car of your taste. Various agencies are stationed here including Alamo, Avis, and Hertz, and the way out of the airport is sign-posted. The I-95 N will take travelers directly into the city in just over 10 minutes.
Rhode Island has introduced a “hands-free” driving law and speaking on the phone while driving is strictly prohibited and can be severely fined. When needing to operate a GPS, rent one along with the car and make sure it has a mount. Always plan routes in advance or let other car passengers deal with the navigation system while you are driving.
Driving in snowy conditions is part of the Southern New England experience during the winter months. Usually, when properly equipped and prepared, driving in winter should be no problem -- but make sure the rental car has snow tires and consider renting snow chains if you plan to venture out of the urban areas. Having an emergency kit with a blanket, flashlight, water, and snacks in the car also does not hurt.

Where are the best places to park in Providence?
On-street parking in Providence is metered and varies in time restrictions. Mostly, there is a time limit of 2 hours, but check at the allocated sign to be sure. Alternatively, opt for a parking garage like Providence Place or Metropark Park Row East, where cars can be parked over a longer period of time.

My only issue was not being to rent the car due to my Drivers license expiring the next day the 29th. Im not sure if I was charged, I was looking forward to celebrating my 45th that weekend, Other than that the location and customer service has always been professional despite the one employee having to do all the work

I don't think the car was inspected very well prior to me renting it. There was sticky stuff on the inside of the front passenger window that prevented the window from going down in a few instances. All the staff I encountered whether in person or on the phone were very pleasant and efficient. When I needed to call the customer support number, the options were very confusing. I needed to report an issue, but it wasn't an emergency, and there was not an obvious choice, so that was very frustrating. The car also smelled like a smoker. Staff 5/5, experience 3/5.

Silver Springs location is remote but the personnel couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Very pleasant. Of course, they didn’t have the car I wanted or reserved, but were accommodating and we worked out a deal. Enjoyed the car they rented me.

The car I rented wasn't there! I reserved an electric vehicle - any electric vehicle - and instead was given a large gas SUV. I had to speak to 3 customer service representatives to cancel my reservation because there were no other cars they could give me. It was a giant waste of time and a huge disrupter of my plans. My experience with Avis was absolutely horrible.

Really liked the screen we got it with an eighth of a tank and gave them 1/4 of a tank. Bigger SUV than usual but worked with 2 people with accessibility issues.

This is not the fault of the employees at this office, but of the corporation itself. My car was not ready when I arrived for my scheduled time because this location ran out of vehicles. They were not even sure when or if they would receive more vehicles. Apparently the company allows folks to keep booking despite not having the information of whether or not a car will be available and ready at the agreed rental time. I didn’t get my car until 1.5 hours after the scheduled pick up time. Unacceptable.

The original vehicle we picked up had a tire with a slow leak and the passenger seat was very stained. We returned it the next day and were given a different vehicle with no issues. The rental agent was very nice and helpful. Upon return of the vehicle we were charged a refueling fee even though we filled the tank at a station just outside the return center. Customer service was very helpful in getting the charge removed.

Drop off - no one to meet me in drop off lane. No receipt provided. Checkout delayed by unfounded claims that I already had a rental in progress.

HUGE PROBLEM. When you rent a car in Providence, it may not be at airport. Our rental thru you was in downtown Providence, NOT PVD. Agent said it happens a lot. Agent solved problem but rental was $100 more.
