KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bluffton

  • Car rentals in Bluffton offer a number of advantages for travelers. Renting a car gives you the flexibility to explore Bluffton at your own pace. You can sightsee at your leisure and make stops along the way without having to rely on public transportation. Second, renting a car can often be cheaper than taking a taxi or using other forms of transportation. Bluffton car rentals provide convenience for door to door service and are a great option for those who do not want to deal with the hassle of public transportation.
  • Car rentals in Bluffton have an office outside the main terminal on 120 Beach City Rd at Hilton Head Island Airport. At the Charleston airport in Bluffton, car rentals are located at the baggage claim section. The major car rental companies have counters near the exit of the baggage claim area. Car rental companies represented at both airports include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. Car rentals must be returned to the same location where they were rented.
  • Car rentals in Bluffton require you to be 21 years of age and have a valid driver's license. You should also be aware of the local traffic laws. Car rentals in Bluffton typically include a surcharge for those below 25 years of age. Bluffton has narrow winding roads and can be congested at times.  It is always best to familiarize yourself with the route you will be taking before driving.
  • During the winter months, Bluffton experiences heavy snowfall and icy conditions. Driving can be dangerous during these times and it is important to take extra care when behind the wheel. The town also experiences windy conditions during the winter, which can make driving even more challenging. Summers are generally very hot and oppressive, making driving less enjoyable. However, the town is located in a beautiful part of the country and there are plenty of scenic routes to take advantage of when the weather is more cooperative.

Pros:

Worker was friendly, car was clean, love that it didn't have a full tank so no pressure to return it full which is always a pain on the way to the airport.

Cons:

Didn't have the car I reserved or pretty much anything other than a tiny kia.

The best part of the experience were the employees at the Bluffton, SC office. Andrew called ahead of my arrival to confirm my reservation and remind me of the documents I would need when I arrived. Colleen and David were pleasant and helpful as I picked up the car and returned it. I was pleased with the rental price and the friendly professional service. The Mitsubishi I rented was not a very comfortable car, however, and I hope to never drive one again!

Cons:

I was told there was no car available for me and that I could wait to see if they had anything the next day. Then they were shocked i wanted to cancel the reservation. I had planned a cross country trip and needed to leave early in the morning the next day. So I was left scrambling to find another car from another business. Luckily the Budget counter had something for me and they were able to help me out. Now I know to go to Budget instead of Hertz in the future.

I booked for a compact economy car and was given a giant Dodge Charger. I don’t even know the name of the man that works at hertz as he never told me and wouldn’t even look at me for most of the pick up process. The next day I decided I could no longer drive this car (as it also reeked of cigarettes and was filthy) I drive to hertz to ask if there’s any other options for rentals. The man who works there was no where to be found for almost an hour so I waited outside in the car for him to come back. I saw him pull up in a big red truck snd followed him inside. Again he wouldn’t look at me, I walk in the door and he says with his back turned to me “here for drop off” I said no actually I picked up a rental and it’s filthy and I cannot drive this anymore. He proceeds to tell me it’s the only car he has with registration up to date. I give up and decide to leave and I look around the parking lot and every small car has registration up to date.

Cons:

I made a reservation and specifically asked there was a car available on the phone while speaking to a person, not the computer, but when I arrived to pick my car up there was not a car there!!! When I questioned the attendant, he said there was nothing he could do for me. Consequently, I ended up spending over $100.00 more than I should have because another rental (Hertz) said they only had a van. I believe this should be Alamo'so responsibility. I also believe the attendant could have been much more helpful! He at least could have checked with all the other rental companies to see if there was a cheaper option. I would really like a response!!!

Cons:

I am 24 so I accept that I needed to pay an extra fee. However, when I booked, I correctly input my age. I was not charged the fee until I actually picked up the car which I found frustrating. Also, there was no cruise control.

My plane was delayed for a couple hours. When I realized this I called the rental office (it took quite some time for them to answer) and told them I would be delayed. They assured me that there would be someone there when I arrived. When I got there the office was closed and I had to wait until the next day to pick up my rental car. The next day they offered no apologies or explanation and still charged me the original amount for the full rental.

Pros:

Car ready when I arrive. Quick return.

Cons:

There was no cruise control. This was not stated to me at check-in. Yet the agent asked where I am going. I was traveling over 800 miles in 2 days. The agent asked me about other things. The brakes pulled a little. Gas mileage on an small car was not great. There was a refundable $200 deposit that was never told to me before I booked the car. They had my credit card. Why do they hold $200. I am not a new driver. Had better experience with other car rental companies in the past.
