At Albany Airport, watch out for credit-card-only deposits and desk waits: 5 of the 7 companies require a credit card, and Budget averages 27 minutes at the desk. If you plan to use a debit card, check the exact car before booking, because Hertz and Dollar accept one for some cars only.

At Albany Airport, choose an Intermediate car, the Volkswagen Jetta size, for 4 bags: £48 a day in November 2026 around a month before your trip, against £68 a day on average across the full price history. An Intermediate car seats 5 but takes 4 bags, so check luggage before filling every seat; stepping down to a Compact car such as a Nissan Versa costs £47 a day for November 2026 at the same booking timing but reduces capacity to 3 bags. A Fullsize car such as a Chevrolet Malibu averages £56 a day for November 2026 at that timing and seats 6 but still takes only 4 bags, so the extra seat does not solve a luggage shortfall. 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you can choose by size and price without filtering for transmission. Hybrids are 1% of cars offered and electric cars are not offered, so filter for a hybrid before comparing prices if that is a requirement.
