If you would like to rent a car from Albuquerque Airport, you will need to have a valid driver’s license that will not expire during your rental period. Even if you do not have a license from the United States, you may still be able to rent a car with either a foreign license or an international license. It is usually best to have your passport on hand, as many companies prefer to keep a photocopy of this document in your file. Depending on the branch, you may also be required to pay for your rental with a major credit card.
The Sunport Car Rental Center is located at the address of 3400 University SE. To go here, you can grab one of the free shuttle buses that depart from outside of the main terminal and runs every five minutes, 24h a day, seven days a week. As soon as you have finished all of your paperwork, an employee will lead you to where your car is located.
There are a few general amenities that are offered for all customers, such as access to public restrooms. The rental center is also equipped with outlets that are convenient for keeping your electronic devices charged. If you would like to rest for a few minutes, you can do so in the sitting area while your car is being prepared. Some companies also provide their customers with free water bottles.

Cons:
They charged me over $200 for gas, when I returned the car fully fueled. In corresponding with them they said they would refund some of the money. I haven't seen a cent!6.8 Okay
Dec 2019
Pros:
Car was clean and drop off easy.Cons:
They push the fuel option without explaining that you are charged for a full tank of gas regardless of what's in the car when you return, plus it appear that you are then charged taxes on this. Yes, the details are in the contract, but they carefully avoid explaining it. Never do that again. Also, they are less than candid about the insurance option, which probably leads most people to accept the "basic" plan not realizing that it adds dramatically to the cost. I believe that they do these things intentionally and many people end up paying much more than they anticipated. I probably won't use this company again.6.0 Okay
Nov 2019
Pros:
Loved the staff in the morning when we ultimately picked up our car!Cons:
When we arrived approximately 3 minutes before closing time, with a reservation, the desk was closed. We were forced to hire an Uber that night and again in the morning to return and get our car. Two other parties also arrived when we did.5.2 Fair

Sept 2019
Pros:
The pick-up was horrible due to the hour and 18-minute wait. Other than that, the agent was competent & helpful, the car was fine, and the drop-off was as well.Cons:
The pick-up was horrible. One person at the desk with a dozen customers on line. (It's not as if Advantage didn't know how many reservations they had that afternoon.) I waited an hour and 18 minutes (I timed it) to be served. No more Advantage for me.6.4 Okay

Pros:
staff very friendly and helpful, made the process very quick and didn't waste any time.Cons:
the only major issue was that one of the tires of the car was severely underpressurized, and I noticed this several hours into my trip - had I not taken care of it myself, the trip could have been held up by a flat or even worse an accident could have occurred.8.0 Very Good

Pros:
Car was fineCons:
I rented a Managers Special. I assumed, since it was a car rental, that it would be a car. I was given a choice between a pickup truck or a Ford Expedition. I had to pay to obtain a car. I feel that is false advertising.2.0 Poor

Pros:
New Mexico was short on rental cars during Memorial Day weekend and I was a bit nervous when we had to rent from Budget because their reviews were the lowest. However, this was my best car rental experience by far. The customer service was amazing, the facility is in close proximity to the airport, the return process was a breeze. By far, this was one of my best rental experiences.4.0 Mediocre

May 2020
Pros:
The whole operation was very understaffed but the people I dealt with, particularly a young man in ABQ, were very helpful and polite. The drop-off was the same, the lot at DEN was closed, which made me nervous about missing my flight. There was no indication anywhere that I was to go to the Avis lot for drop-off. Again, nobody to explain anything but when the woman showed up, she was polite and helpful in a difficult situation for her.One location in Albuquerque Airport
