Albuquerque, the largest city in the state of New Mexico, is renowned for its quirky, humble, laid-back nature with roots in the cultures of western frontiersmen, Latino immigrants from Mexico, and local Navajo and other indigenous peoples. The art scene in the city offers experiences you won't find anywhere else, and the unique mix of cultures is one that anyone interested in the history of the American frontier should visit and enjoy. An Albuquerque airport car rental is essential for exploring Albuquerque, as the city sprawls like any Western metropolis, not to mention many of the natural parks and monuments are up to an hour's drive away. Hikers, historians and seekers of classic quirks and curios of Americana are sure to enjoy a trip to Albuquerque. The Albuquerque airport information desk will help you find out where and how to pick up your ABQ car rental, or you can book one in advance.

The Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is the largest public airport in the state of New Mexico, serving national and international travelers to both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. You can get your Albuquerque airport car rental here to travel throughout the American Southwest, as it serves as the travel hub of the entire state. ABQ serves a wide variety of local and national airlines from all around the country, with a total of thirteen air service providers flying from over twenty locations. Business, government, charter, private or other smaller aircraft can fly into the Albuquerque area through ABQ, or they can fly in to the Double Eagle II municipal airport just seven miles northwest of the central business district of downtown Albuquerque. Located three miles southeast of the city, the Albuquerque International Sunport is home to all the major ABQ airport car rentals, so all you have to do is get off the plane, pick up your luggage and book your rental car directly on location.

One of the major events in Albuquerque frequented by tourists and locals alike is the International Balloon Fiesta, a mecca for hot air balloon enthusiasts to gather and fly their crafts en masse for riders and watchers alike to enjoy. The Fiesta, accessible by ABQ car rental, takes place the first Saturday in October and lasts for over a week, and the wide variety of beautifully colored balloons rising into the wide Western sky makes the Balloon Fiesta one of the most widely-photographed events in the world. For outdoor enthusiasts, a visit to the Sandia Mountains should be at the top of the list, so named because they resemble a watermelon ("sandia" is Spanish for "watermelon") with brilliant pink and green features at sunset. Travelers can go hiking and mountain biking in the summer or skiing and snowboarding in the winter. Museum enthusiasts will enjoy a walk through Old Town Albuquerque, filled with Spanish colonial architecture and historical sites. The Old Town contains attractions varying from the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, the San Felipe de Neri church, the International Rattlesnake Museum and the Explora! Science Center and Children's Museum, and there's sure to be something fun for everybody. Scroll down to book your ABQ airport car rentals and to find more Albuquerque airport information today!
