Budget is the cheapest company at Greensboro Airport for an Intermediate car, averaging $58 a day over the last 12 months from 1,872 prices. It sits directly in the terminal, but like every supplier at the airport, it requires a credit card for the deposit. Alamo costs $86 a day and scores 91/100 from 84 reviews, while Budget scores 82/100 from 39 reviews. Avis is a close alternative at $61 a day, though with only 13 recent reviews it does not yet have enough reviews for a score.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

At Greensboro Airport, the security deposit held on your card ranges from $200 with Budget to $299 with Avis, and all 5 desks take credit cards only. None of the counters accept a debit card for deposits. You must bring an accepted credit card in the lead driver's name to collect a car. Deposit amounts and card rules appear beside each vehicle, and extras charged at the desk are listed with their price.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The biggest catch at Greensboro Airport is payment rules: all 5 rental desks refuse debit cards entirely and demand a credit card in the driver's name. Arriving with only a debit card means leaving without a vehicle, as no local counter offers an exception. Waits at the terminal counters can also stretch to 24 minutes at National and 23 minutes at Alamo. Budget keeps queues down to 15 minutes, which helps after a tiring flight.

Only 50% of prices at Greensboro Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.

For comfortable motorway driving around Greensboro Airport, pick an Intermediate car like the Volkswagen Jetta, which costs around $74 a day for October 2026.
