KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gettysburg
- Gettysburg is a charming town located in the heart of Adams County. While there are other means of transportation available, there are several advantages to renting car rentals in Gettysburg. For example, there are several historical landmarks scattered around the town, such as the Gettysburg National Military Park, The David Wills House, and The Gettysburg Museum of History, and using Gettysburg car rentals will allow visitors to easily navigate the town and explore these important sites without the restrictions of public transportation schedules.
- Washington, D.C. Dulles Airport (IAD) is approximately 60 miles from Gettysburg. The rental car offices are located near the main terminal, just outside the baggage claim area and there is an airport shuttle called the "Concourse Connector" that runs every 7-10 minutes between the main terminal and the rental car offices. Harrisburg Airport (MDT) is approximately 45 miles from Gettysburg. The rental car offices are located on the lower level of the terminal, just across from baggage claim. Hagerstown Regional Airport (HGR) is approximately 30 miles from Gettysburg. The rental car offices at HGR are limited, with only one rental car company located on-site.
- Driving car rentals in Gettysburg is generally straightforward. However, one important thing to keep in mind is the abundance of pedestrians, particularly in the historic downtown area. It's important to always be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for jaywalkers who may cross the street unexpectedly. Additionally, there are a few busy intersections in the downtown area that can require some extra attention when navigating. There are a few trucks and large vehicles on the roads, particularly when driving on the highways or outskirts of town.
- Gettysburg can bring forth some difficulties for drivers during rush hour, which usually occurs between 7 am-9 am and 4 pm-6 pm on weekdays. Traffic volume can be high on major roads, such as Route 15 and Route 30, and delays can occur during peak hours, especially in the summer months when the town sees a high number of visitors. Moreover, snow and ice can create hazardous driving conditions for car rentals in Gettysburg during the winter, particularly on smaller roads that are not regularly plowed or salted.
- Book your car hire in Gettysburg at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Some private lots may offer discounts for multiple-day parking. If you are looking for free parking options, there are a few areas outside of the downtown and park areas where free parking is available.

Cons:
When I showed up for my reservation, they told me they had no cars. I made a reservation the night before and when I arrived to pick up my car, I was stranded there because I had no way to get anywhere else. I had to walk on some busy main roads with no shoulder or sidewalk to get to another car rental place. False advertising for cars that were not actually there and it left me in an unsafe situation.10,0 Wonderful

Jul 2017
Pros:
My pick up in Gettysburg PA went well. Very professional.Cons:
The vehicle didn't drive well. It felt like it was badly in need of an alignment. I decided to exchange it in Kansas City International Airport. When I called them, the phone would ring for several minutes before they would answer. Twice someone lifted the handset and just hung it up. When I finally got someone and did the exchange, I realized an hour later I had left something in the car I had turned in. I called (and again struggled to get someone on the phone) and was told they would check the car and call me back. Three hours later, they hadn't called back. I called again and was told they didn't know which car I'd returned. It seems strange that their computers can't tell them that but I gave them the car information and was told that they'd call me back. An hour and a half later, with no response, I decided to just drive in and ask in person. Then they said they'd go check the car and brought my item to me two minutes later. Worst customer service ever. Also, when I drove in, there was only one other customer there. If didn't appear that they were exceptionally busy. So disappointed with Hertz.Enterprise Rent-A-Car
