KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Elkton

  • If you plan to visit Elkton for a stay, consider doing yourself a favor by getting Elkton car rentals to help you explore the city. With car rentals in Elkton, you're guaranteed to get to your destinations as planned, while public transportation doesn't give you as much freedom. You can get to a variety of places in the city, including Lums Pod State Park, which is 8.2 miles from the city center, and Harford Artists Gallery, Bell Air, which is 31.3 miles from the city center. Or, you can travel to Fair Hill State Natural Resources Management Area, which is about 17 minutes from Elkton by car.
  • Greater Wilmington Airport (ILG) is the airport nearest to Elkton, located about 13.1 miles from the city center. Multiple companies offer car-rental services on-site, including Alamo, Avis, Hertz, National, Budget, Payless, Easirent, and Enterprise. The car-rental desks are past the baggage-claim area at the airport terminal. Booking your Elkton car rentals online saves you the hassle of long waiting lines at the airport.
  • Driving your car rentals in Elkton is a safe, easy, and enjoyable experience, thanks to well-kept roads in the city. But some obstacles are worth your attention when driving your car rentals in Elkton, since they can impact your driving experience. Be mindful of jaywalkers, as pedestrians often disobey crosswalk regulations and may cross the road when it's unsafe. Also, motorcycles and bicycles are common in the city, and disregarding traffic lights is still a standard practice among cyclists. Be attentive when approaching and passing them.
  • Like other cities in Maryland, Elkton has heavy traffic during rush hour, when most residents commute to the city center in their personal vehicles. Typically, the city experiences morning rush hour from 6 am to 10 am, while the afternoon rush hour is normally between 4 pm and 8 pm. Be sure to plan your travels wisely to avoid traffic delays.
  • Book your car hire in Elkton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Elkton are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average

Roads are sometimes brimming with vehicles, especially during rush hour, and human traffic is typical on the streets. A smaller vehicle is ideal when considering the car type to rent in the city. Aside from its ability to maneuver narrow streets to beat traffic, a smaller car is cost-savvy when looking for a parking lot. But if you plan to visit off-road locations, an SUV is a perfect option to navigate the hilly and bumpy roads.

  • What is the speed limit in Elkton?

    Elkton has various speed limits depending on the area you're driving your Elkton car rentals. The speed limit on highways in residential areas is 35 mph, but the speed lowers to 30 mph when driving around business areas, undivided highways, and school zones. It's 55 mph on motorways outside the urban areas and 50 mph on other undivided highways. The city has posted speed limits. Be sure to pay attention to them because they are strictly enforced.

  • Where are the best places to park in Elkton?

    When driving your car rentals in Elkton, chances are high that you'll need a parking spot. While finding a place to park your Elkton car rentals should be easy, it comes with the hassle you want to avoid. Consider booking an Elkton hotel with a parking lot. Hotels worth considering include The Sutton Inn, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Elkton, Hampton Inn Elkton, and La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Newark-Elkton. They'll allow you free parking on their property if you stay at the hotel. Consider downtown Elkton if you're looking for metered or garage parking. Charges vary from one place to another and depending on your car type, but it should cost you an average of $1.50 per hour to park your car rentals in Elkton.

Pros:

Good price.

Cons:

Enterprise never contacted me to let me know the site where I was to pick up the car was closed due to Covid. They said they didn't have any contact info for me but when I got to the other location, they had my phone number. A little frustrating.

Lady was gonna charge me for an extra day because I showed up 45 minutes before my reservation time. She also told me the car had a full tank when it only had 3/4. If I hadn’t noticed the gas before leaving it wouldn’t have been rectified. The car also had very high mileage and felt like it needed an alignment.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, but they didn’t have any cars when I got there. I was forced to take a car that was a lot more expensive than the original car I had reserved. I ended up paying more than $20 a day extra than the car I originally reserved. I tried to exchange it during the week for a cheaper car, but there were none available.

Could have been a newer car. Had to pay $94 extra at the rental place. Please don't hide any fees.

The car had Wi-Fi, a touchscreen and great backup camera. However the remote to the car never worked. It slipped gears when shifting and pulled to the right to hard.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

A few minutes before I was supposed to arrive, Hertz called and cancelled my rental. I continued to drive the additional minute-and-a-half to the office and walk inside to see if they had some vehicle they could rent me. The agent said they could not. The agent said that they did not have any Vehicles available. When I inquired about when I could make a reservation to get the specific class of vehicle I had booked the agent said that they were not taking reservations because all of them were booked up for the foreseeable future. Which doesn't make much sense. However, I would like to clarify that the agent was not the problem. The agent was respectful and courteous despite delivering undesirable news with not available placations. I believe that the source of the problem lies in the local market logistics. More specifically, I believe the problem lies with whomever is responsible for making sure that vehicles are available for the reservations. I would like that part investigated and solved.

The car had a terrible odor. Had to buy a car deodorizer. The inside windows were streaky and dirty. Had to buy Windex so I could get rid of the glare. Staff was great. Would have returned car immediately but had to leave due to urgency of going out of town to make it to reservation.
