The nature of your destination and the number of people you are traveling with determine the type of car you should consider renting in Lancaster. An intermediate SUV will be a good car option if you are heading to off-road destinations. If you are accompanied by your family or friends, consider renting a spacious car. In this case SUV will be an ideal car type option for you. On the other hand, if you are traveling solo with one or two pieces of baggage, you can consider reserving an economy car.
All car rental agencies have electric cars to rent in Lancaster. You won’t remain stranded at the place to charge your electric car rental because the city has 237 public charging stations; 31 are free to all car renters.
The speed limits in Lancaster vary depending on the road you are using. A limit of 65 mph is allowed when driving on major highways. However, on two-lane undivided highways, drivers have to observe a speed limit of 55 mph. The speed limits get lower as you approach the city center and school zones, where you have to drive at 25 mph or below. The presence of speed cameras at major intersections and most roads within the central business district has enhanced the ability of traffic police to ensure compliance with the speed limits among travelers.
All car rental drivers in the city pay the congestion charge once a day, just like any driver. You are entitled to these charges, for the car rental agencies in the city do not cater to them while reserving their cars.
You park your rental car at Schoolhouse Block Parking Structure to enjoy one of the most affordable parking rates in the city, at around $1 per hour. Other parking lots which more spaces make them more reliable among drivers in the city are VSP Parking and Rasmond Skypark FBO, both of which are located a short drive from the city center. You can also enjoy free parking if you stay at Lancaster Art Hotel and several others in the city.

Jan 2017
Pros:
The only I thing I liked was the vehicle. It was a big vehicle and it was comfortable for the journey we took.Cons:
We made a reservation for the vehicle and when the day got here to pick it up, it wasn't even ready. It only had a quarter of gas. Really dirty from the inside and outside. The guy told me that he was going to wash it and vacuum it. They took it to get washed and vacuumed but they did such a horrible job. Those people got a wash cloth and a bottle of spray and that was washing the car for them. Just horrible.2.0 Poor

You shouldn’t need to have a debt score in order to drive a rental. We don’t have credit cards and pay everything cash. Worst policy. We will never rent from this company, nor refer anyone to them.6.8 Okay
Dec 2018
Pros:
The staff were nice and the car I rented was nice as well.Cons:
It took over an hour to get help when there were two agents and 3 customers. They did not have the car size reserved, so I either had to pay for a more expensive car or wait hours until someone returned a car my size. So I accepted the higher rate for a larger car, yet the car took over another hour to be ready.7.2 Good
Aug 2017
Pros:
Our car was not there when we arrived at 9 a.m. . It appears that had been a mix-up and all the cars are rented out the night before. The woman that was working behind the desk was very helpful at getting a car there as soon as possible. There was no one there to clean the car, so she went out and clean the car herself.One location in Lancaster

No cars, the car that was rented to me was dirty smelled like wet dog and cigarettes and dog hair everywhere. Car wash not washed from interior also manager talks like a thug no language skills at all. I don't him you have another car he said s*** that's all we have. I will never ever rent from this location again. I rented at 5:30 pm and took it back at opening didn't even drive it 5 miles and still was charged also needed brakes. They have nothing but cheap old car buckets here. Go to enterprise better across the street in the auto center that's where I went and was excellent.1.9 Poor
