Daily rentals line up at Avis right in the Main terminal
Avis runs a car rental desk in the Main terminal at Meadows Field (BFL), so you stay on airport property to pick up and drop off. That cuts out any off-site shuttle time and keeps your ground transfer under your control once you land.
The Avis counter sits in the Main terminal building, so you can walk there after baggage claim instead of waiting curbside. Cars are held on airport grounds, which keeps the handoff between paperwork and keys to a short walk instead of a separate lot several miles away.
Because Avis is a full car rental operation at BFL, you get typical choices from compact cars up through larger vehicles, subject to what is physically parked on airport property that day. Book ahead with your exact pickup date at Meadows Field so a car is ready when your flight lands at the Main terminal.
How to pick up your Avis car at BFL
- 1. Land at the Main terminal. All commercial flights at Meadows Field use the Main terminal, so every Avis customer starts from the same building.
- 2. Collect checked bags. Head to baggage claim in the Main terminal and grab your luggage before walking to the Avis desk.
- 3. Walk to the Avis counter. Follow airport signs for "Car Rental" inside the Main terminal and have your driver’s license, reservation number, and credit card ready.
- 4. Sign the rental agreement. Confirm your rental dates, vehicle category, and fuel return terms directly with the Avis agent before leaving the counter.
- 5. Proceed to the car lot. Take the directions from the agent to the specific parking row where your Avis vehicle is staged on the airport grounds.
- 6. Inspect the car before driving off. Walk around the vehicle, note mileage and any existing damage on the form or phone photos, then exit the airport following posted road signs toward your route.
- 7. Return the car to the same location. Bring the vehicle back to the Avis area at the Main terminal at the end of your rental and allow a few extra minutes for check-in before your departing flight.
Plan your pickup at Avis in the Main terminal with at least 20–30 minutes between landing and driving out, especially if you are checking bags at Meadows Field.
