KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Aiken

  • You can access a variety of locations both inside the city and in nearby cities more easily by renting a car from one of the Aiken car rentals. The main benefit of using car rentals in Aiken over public transportation, which is provided by Best Friend Express, is that you are free to choose your own departure times and routes. One of the places you may drive to your car and have a great time watching soccer, volleyball, and baseball events is Roberto Hernandez Stadium, the biggest stadium in Aiken.
  • By using the services of one of the car rental companies in Aiken, you can enjoy self-driving from the airport to the city center, which is roughly 19 miles away, or any other destination of your choice if you are arriving in the city via the Aiken Regional Airport Augusta (AGS) Airport. A short distance from the airport, you may find a car rental facility where you can rent a vehicle. You can use the free shuttle service provided by all the main car rental companies in Aiken, including Hertz, Dollar, and Enterprise, to get from the airport to their rental office.
  • To make your time behind the wheel of Aiken car rentals more enjoyable and secure, keep a few things in mind. Keep in mind that numerous pedestrians in the central business district cross the street carelessly when you are driving through this area. To avoid striking any of them, keep your vehicle moving at a modest speed and pay attention at all times. Both bikers and many of the unmarked-turning drivers in Aiken exhibit a culture that is comparable to this.
  • The difficulties you are likely to encounter when driving in the city make using van rentals in Aiken less convenient than you would have anticipated. For instance, because of the significant traffic congestion during the morning and evening rush hours, it can be challenging to drive your rental van on most of the city's roadways. The typical rush hours are from 7 am to 9 am in the morning and from 4 pm to 6 pm in the evening.
  • Book your car hire in Aiken at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Aiken are around 13% more expensive than other car types, on average

Their customer service the cleanest of the car my experience was excellent

6,0 Okay

Anonymous, Dec 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Customer service was very good especially under current conditions.

Cons:

There are safety features in narrative form on the instrument panel that are very distracting when driving in heavy traffic. I'm driving through downtown Atlanta and my car suddenly scrolls across the dash "Consider stop for a cup of Coffee". First I think, "Something is wrong with my car right here in the middle of six lanes of traffic"! So, I shouldn't text while driving but it's ok for my car to write texts to me. The car even revealed a few times that I wasn't paying attention to my driving. I guess they provided this feature because my wife wasn't on the trip with me. : ) Also, rental cars in general just aren't clean when you get them anymore. Seems to be the industry in general.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

You guys could have a better grasp of inventory. I was sent to 2 different places with reassurance that they cars only to be told they have nothing. I even spoke with customer service line who said the same thing. After giving me the run around, I was told very nonchalantly and rudely ’there is nothing we can do for you. Try again tomorrow. Goodbye.’ Very inconvenient and inconsistent. Very little care about peoples time or plans. Should change a lot of things.

Pros:

Easy pick up and drop off despite the covid19 pandemic.

Cons:

The car wasn't the most comfortable and the visibility out the back window wasn't very good. Also knowing we were traveling through a state with electronic tolls, they could have been more informative about whether there is a service fee or not. I was told there wouldn't be but there was an additional $8 charge!
