KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Elizabeth City

  • Elizabeth City car rentals are the most affordable and flexible way for you to explore everything this North Carolina town has to offer. Located right on the Albemarle Sound, this smaller town offers plenty of outdoor fun. While ICTPA buses are free in Elizabeth City, they run on fixed schedules and some areas of town are hard to access. As a result, you will want your car rentals in Elizabeth City to help you navigate to places like the Museum of the Albemarle or the Waterfront Park. A car rental will give you the freedom and independence to explore the town at your own pace.
  • If you are flying into Elizabeth City, North Carolina, you will most likely be landing at the airport in Norfolk, Virginia (ORF), about 55 miles away. You can pick up car rentals in Elizabeth City directly from this airport. The desks for several car rental agencies, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, National, and Hertz, are in the arrivals terminal on Level 1. Their desks are open from 4:30 am until the last flight of the night lands, so there is no need to worry about operating hours if your flight is delayed.
  • Driving in Elizabeth City is pretty easy. All main roads are paved and are generally in good condition. You may occasionally encounter dirt or gravel roads as you get closer to the water. Motorists generally follow the rules of the road and don’t drive very recklessly. Since this is a city with a lot of outdoor activity, though, you will want to keep your eye out for pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Elizabeth City, like many other cities in North Carolina, experiences morning and evening rush hours that can make driving in the city a bit difficult. Try to avoid the main roads, such as State Route 17 and State Route 158, between the hours of 7 am and 9 am and again between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm. In addition, since this city is so close to the Atlantic coast, the city can sometimes be affected by heavy rains during hurricane season. It is essential to check the weather forecast before setting out in your Elizabeth City car rentals.
  • Luxury hire cars in Elizabeth City are around 26% cheaper than other car types, on average

    The type of car rentals in Elizabeth City recommended for you depends on the size of your travel party and the purpose of your trip. Because driving here is fairly easy, the roads and terrain don’t demand a specific type of car. However, it is always easier to drive compact vehicles on narrow and winding roads, which you may encounter in Elizabeth City. This will also make parking easier when you are in the downtown area or near the water. If you plan to do a lot of driving in nature, you should consider renting a car with four-wheel drive.

  • What is the speed limit in Elizabeth City?

    The speed limits in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, vary depending on the area of town you’re in and what type of road you’re driving on. However, the speed limit is generally pretty slow. If you’re in or near the downtown area, you will find that most streets have speed limits of 25 mph or 35 mph. On main roads outside the city, the speed limit may reach 55 mph. On highways, it can go up to 70 mph.

  • What are the best places to park in Elizabeth City?

    Parking in Elizabeth City is pretty plentiful, so you won’t have any issues parking your car rental here. Even better, a lot of the parking is free. For example, you can park your car rentals in Elizabeth City at Mariners Wharf Park for free and also at the Shoppes at Tanglewood for free. On-street metered parking is also available, but the city encourages drivers to use off-street parking if at all possible.
