🚙 Car hire

Compare car hire at ITH

Rural camping festival ~16 miles from a small regional airport: TCAT's two-leg bus route works but is slow and thins out late at night, so a rental car from ITH (several on-airport rental desks per the airport's site) is the flexible option for fly-in campers hauling gear and lets attendees explore the Finger Lakes wineries and state parks around Trumansburg
