KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Abingdon

  • Vehicles from car rentals in Abingdon offer several advantages over public buses or trains. With a rental car, you have the freedom to create your own schedules, explore remote destinations, and change plans on the fly without being bound by fixed bus or train timetables. Some of Abingdon's attractions include the William King Museum, Abingdon Muster Grounds, and Southwest Virginia Cultural Center & Marketplace. In addition, car rentals in Abingdon are more cost-effective for groups or families, as the shared cost of a rental vehicle often compares favorably to purchasing multiple public transportation tickets. A rental car is also beneficial when traveling with luggage or other belongings, as it provides ample storage space.
  • For those traveling to Abingdon, Virginia, you'll have three suitable destination airports, including Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), Tri-Cities Regional Airport (TRI), and Raleigh County Memorial Airport (BKW). At AVL, you'll need no shuttle to access the car rental counters, which are located in the baggage claim area of the main terminal. Upon arrival at TRI, you can access the rental counters directly across from the baggage claim in the arrivals hall. Several major car rentals in Abingdon have operating desks at BKW, right within the arrivals area of the main terminal.
  • Driving in Abingdon provides an organized experience due to the well-kept road network and strict adherence to traffic rules. The town's well-planned layout and clear road signage make navigation straightforward for both residents and visitors. Drivers can expect an orderly traffic flow, with courteous behavior being the norm. The local authorities place a strong emphasis on road safety, leading to drivers consistently observing speed limits, stopping at intersections, and yielding to pedestrians. This observance of traffic regulations contributes to a sense of shared responsibility for road safety and reduces the possibility of accidents. You should exercise caution while operating your vehicle from Abingdon car rentals.
  • Driving in Abingdon can be challenging. The city experiences rush hour primarily during the typical times of 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm when residents and commuters are traveling to and from work and school. During these hours, several major roads in Abingdon, including Interstate 81, US Route 11 (Lee Highway), and US Route 19 (Cummings Street), often experience heavy traffic congestion. To easily navigate the city during rush hour, you can seek alternative routes, including Main Street, Valley Street, and Pecan Street.
  • Book your car hire in Abingdon at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Supplier choice hire cars in Abingdon are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a car rental agency. When I went to pick up my SUV for a trip that was the next morning, they did not have my vehicle or anything usable. And the worst part was how rude they were. And I was calm! They said they had tried to "confirm" my vehicle twice that morning and had left messages at my house. There were zero messages on my voicemail. I will drive to the airport if I can to use a different agency.

Everything was good. My only unpleasant experience with the car was that it was still smoky from someone who had smoked in it before. I understand smokes hard to get out, it’s frustrating to get into a car that smells smoky.
