KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Anniston

  • Opting for car rentals in Anniston offers the advantage of unrestricted exploration. While public transport exists, having a rental car allows you to easily access attractions like the Berman Museum of World History, Anniston Museum of Natural History, and Longleaf Botanical Gardens, which might not be as convenient to reach via alternative options. The freedom to venture beyond the city limits and explore the beautiful Cheaha State Park or the Talladega National Forest becomes effortless with a rented car, enhancing your overall travel experience.
  • When seeking Anniston car rentals at the closest airport, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM), which is approximately 80 miles west of Anniston, serves as the main hub. Rental car offices are conveniently located within the terminal itself, ensuring easy access upon arrival. An airport shuttle might not be necessary, given the convenient proximity of the rental car counters to the terminal. This efficient setup allows you to swiftly pick up your rental car and begin your exploration of Anniston and its surrounding attractions without any hassle.
  • Driving in Anniston is generally smooth, but tourists should be cautious around cyclists and pedestrian crossings. While Anniston has less hustle than larger cities, pedestrians might unexpectedly cross roads. Also keep an eye out for cyclists, particularly on Noble Street, Quintard Avenue, and in other downtown areas. Stay attentive, particularly around local shops and attractions. Utilizing Anniston car rentals gives you the flexibility to explore these areas comfortably while enjoying the city's charm at your own pace.
  • When driving in Anniston, be aware of rush hours around 7:00 to 9:00 am and 4:30 to 6:30 pm, when traffic can become congested on Quintard Avenue and US-431. Additionally, during winter (December to February), occasional snowfall might affect road conditions, so it's wise to check weather forecasts and road reports before traveling. Roads might be slick if snow or ice accumulates, particularly on elevated areas like roads leading towards Cheaha State Park. Anniston car rentals offer the advantage of adaptable travel, allowing you to stay prepared and explore while considering any seasonal changes.
  • Small hire cars in Anniston are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average

The sales rep wasn’t pleasant, seemed bother Ed to have to help. Don’t think she smiled once. Wasn’t able to get a car because I don’t have a credit card. I guess this is common knowledge but it wasn’t for me.

Wasn't notified that a car would not be there about a hour before pick up time. They were not going to have any cars for about 3 days. I'll use Enterprise for now on.
