KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Covington

  • Leasing a rental from one of the Covington car rentals would be a wise move on your end if you’d love to extensively visit this destination, given that with a rental car, you can move from one attraction to another comfortably and in privacy at whatever time you find suitable. Other than the attractions within the city, if you hire a rental car from one of the reliable car rentals in Covington, you’ll also be able to visit attractions in neighboring towns like Conyers, Tucker, Decatur, Winder, Panthersville, and Lilburn.
  • Suppose you’d like to rent a car upon landing at the airport that serves Covington, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). If that case, you’ll be happy to hear that this air transit hub features counters for several car rentals in Covington, including Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, Thrifty, National, or Dollar. The counters are found at the airport’s Rental Car Center, connected to the terminals via the ATL SkyTrain.
  • In Covington, you can count on enjoying a smooth driving experience since the roads in Covington are in good condition, well-lit, and well-marked, and most road users adhere to traffic regulations. However, to avoid unnecessary road mishaps, ensure you maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead and look out for pedestrians. This is because, occasionally, some motorists flout the road rules without warning while some passengers cross the road absent-mindedly, all while expecting not to be hit.
  • Covington roads experience traffic snarl-ups on most days, from 6:00 am to 9:00 am, 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and when children head home from school at around 2:00 pm. If you want to avoid idling around in Covington traffic, leave before or after these hours. Alternatively, have a navigation system installed. It will help you figure out lesser congested routes.

Pros:

Nothing. I was not able to use my rental because when I got to the location I was informed that my rental was given away. Hertz company policy says that I have 24hrs from tome of paid rental to pick up my rental. I was an hour late, in which I called the office and company to inform them of my late pick up, which I was told I had 24 hrs to do. When I got to the location the staff were rude and told me they did not have to wait for my to pick up my rental, that I’d I was late they are able to give it away, as I am not the only person waiting for a car rental. The manager came in and said that they always over book their vehicles so someone is always waiting for a car. They did nothing to offer me another rental or upgrade. They only offered for me to call cooperate and ask for a refund! I am not used to such unprofessional and non courteous customer service. When I asked for the staffs names so that I can file a complaint, they said “what you want our birthdates and social security numbers as well?” And laughed. I will never rent from hertz or their conyers location ever again. They are vile and unprofessional at best!!!

Cons:

Everything. Customer service was horrible, professionalism horrible, they made zero attempts to help the situation. They even told me they gladly gave away my rental because someone else needed it! While I was there someone else called in as I did and said they were going to be late to pick up their rental, so I said, “well why can’t I have their rental as I’m here and their not!” The manager was like no I’m waiting for them. So for whatever reason I was the double standard and they had no compassion or customer service to provide me alternatives even through my rental was already paid in full!

Pros:

Picked up vehicle. It had been heavily smoke in prior to my rental. Was it clean inside. Was told they are short staffed. Drove vehicle home and spent 30 min thoroughly cleaning it myself. The front passenger seat was soiled with Dryer coffee or some sort Of liquid.when dampened would soil pants. Strong smoke smell would not subside. I even purchased an air freshener. I returned the vehicle. I just asked for another but the same vehicle. They did upgrade me even though I didn’t ask for an upgrade. Waited another 35 Mindoro the new vehicle. Experience after all of this was fine

Cons:

Clean vehicle.
