KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Dalton

  • There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in Dalton. For example, Dalton car rentals offer a greater level of convenience and flexibility when exploring the surrounding areas. Dalton is known for its beautiful natural attractions such as the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, the Cohutta Wilderness, and Fort Mountain State Park. These stunning locations are best accessed by car as public transportation options may be limited or nonexistent.
  • Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) is 99 miles from Dalton. You can pick up Dalton car rentals at the Rental Car Center at ATL which is a separate facility about five minutes from the main terminal. There is a free shuttle available 24/7 to take passengers to and from the Rental Car Center. The shuttles pick up at the terminal building from the lower level curbside. Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) is about 130 miles from Dalton. The car rental companies at TYS airport are located across from the baggage claim area on the main terminal's lower level. Passengers can take a short walk across the street from the terminal to get to the rental car buildings.
  • Dalton has a significant number of trucks on the roads due to its textile and carpet manufacturing industries, so you should be cautious when driving cheap car rentals in Dalton and keep a safe distance from these vehicles. The city is situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, so some of the roads can be hilly and curvy, requiring a bit more caution and slower speeds. The city also has a hands-free driving law, meaning that using a phone or other electronic device while driving is prohibited.
  • One of the main difficulties that drivers might face when driving cheap car rentals in Dalton is traffic during rush hour. Peak traffic times are usually during weekday mornings from 7:30 am to 9 am and weekday afternoons from 4 pm to 6 pm. During these times, roads such as the Dalton Bypass (Highway 76), Highway 41, and Highway 71 may experience heavy congestion and delays. During the spring and fall, there may be high levels of rainfall which can lead to slippery road conditions. The summer months can also bring high temperatures, which can sometimes cause overheating in cars.
  • Medium hire cars in Dalton are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average

Picked up the first rental car on my lunch break and while on the way I noticed a massive vibration under acceleration at highway speeds. I had to make another trip back to the rental location and fill that car up with gas so I could pick up another one. The second one was nicer and the lady that helped me was amazing. While the second vehicle was nicer the roof leaked on me every day that it rained (4 out of 5 days). My left shoulder was constantly getting wet as a result. I was not happy about that and no one offered to do anything about it when I dropped it off so overall it was just ok almost a thumbs down.

Was told it would be $446 when I picked up the car. 20 min latter I received a second email saying the price was now $506 with no expiration of the price increase. When I called they couldn’t explain it or change it. Very dishonest

Hertz is the worst!!! I go out of my way to use any other rental company. Was given a car with a half tank (they gave me a hard time when I returned with 3/4 tank because I should have asked them to mark that in my record. Is it my job to do their jobs?). It also had low tire pressure that I had to fill up, the oil change light was on the whole time and the passenger seatbelt would not latch. I had sworn to stop using them and gave them one more shot, avoid Hertz at all costs. The worst company.

Luckily, I had printed my reservation info. The Hertz agent said there was no record of my reservation. The car was mediocre and had a very creaky driver’s side door. There was no one to check the car before leaving the lot, so we just left.
