Rentals can be OK, but they are rarely better than mediocre if they
are available. I've done rentals, but now I always carry my own. No
problems, yet.
And, IATA tariff rules apply on international flights; bikes fly as
part of your luggage, no extra cost. If the airlines require a box
and you do not have one you may have to pay for a box, but no extra
luggage charges as long as you are within the standard allowance.
