KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Auburn

  • Renting a car in Auburn, Alabama, offers several advantages. You can easily explore Auburn and its surrounding areas without relying on public transportation or waiting for taxis. Auburn is home to Auburn University, and having a car allows you to easily navigate the campus and attend various events, such as sports games, concerts, or academic activities. Auburn is situated in a region known for its natural beauty and renting a car gives you the freedom to explore nearby natural attractions like Chewacla State Park, Tuskegee National Forest, or Lake Martin.
  • Picking up Auburn car rentals at Columbus Airport (CSG), which is just a short trip to the west of Auburn, offers plenty of convenience. When you are here, you are going to find car rental services from about six major brands. Each has a customer service counter on the ground level at the west end of the terminal. Cars for rent sit just outside, making both pick-up and drop-off quite easy.

It is illegal to text, make phone calls, or use any handheld electronic devices while operating a vehicle. Be prepared for various weather conditions in Auburn, including rainstorms, thunderstorms, and occasional ice or snow during the winter months.

Some of the most impacted areas during this time include Interstate 85, US Highways 29 and 280, Alabama State Route 14, South College Street, East Glenn Avenue, and North Dean Road. Auburn serves as a gateway to popular recreational areas, including Lake Martin and the Chattahoochee National Forest. On weekends, there may be increased traffic as residents and visitors embark on day trips.

The car served it purpose but was not confortable for a long drive and with only 50K miles it felt like it needed retired.

Cons:

The line at the terminal took forever!!!!!!!! The process should be streamlined and add some people behind the counter. I stood in line for nearly an hour. Totally unacceptable. Other than that everything was very favorable.
