Picking up a rental car at Hamilton Airport

There is one terminal and a range of on-site car rental brands to select from Hamilton Airport. See below for clear instructions on how to find Hamilton Airport’s car hire desks and where to pick up your rental car.

Hamilton Airport orientation: Terminals

Hamilton Airport has a single passenger terminal with two floors for domestic flights. As the airport only has the one terminal building, there is no need to worry about getting between terminals.

Domestic Terminal

Where are the on-airport hire car desks?

The on-airport hire car desks in Hamilton Airport are located on the ground floor of the terminal, opposite the baggage claim area.

Where are the on-airport hire cars parked?

The on-airport hire cars are parked just outside the terminal, a short walking distance away.

What should I do if the car hire desk is unattended?

Hopefully the car rental company has left a sign with instructions or a contact number. In this situation, use the number they have provided and let them know that you have arrived or follow the directions out to the car park where a rental attendant will help you.

If there is no sign, check your booking confirmation email for a contact phone number.

If you still have no luck finding assistance, contact us. Don’t be alarmed. It’s not unusual to see unmanned desks, and rest assured there’s usually someone who can help out in the car park where the rental cars are located.
