KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gettysburg

  • Gettysburg is a charming town located in the heart of Adams County. While there are other means of transportation available, there are several advantages to renting car rentals in Gettysburg. For example, there are several historical landmarks scattered around the town, such as the Gettysburg National Military Park, The David Wills House, and The Gettysburg Museum of History, and using Gettysburg car rentals will allow visitors to easily navigate the town and explore these important sites without the restrictions of public transportation schedules.
  • Washington, D.C. Dulles Airport (IAD) is approximately 60 miles from Gettysburg. The rental car offices are located near the main terminal, just outside the baggage claim area and there is an airport shuttle called the "Concourse Connector" that runs every 7-10 minutes between the main terminal and the rental car offices. Harrisburg Airport (MDT) is approximately 45 miles from Gettysburg. The rental car offices are located on the lower level of the terminal, just across from baggage claim. Hagerstown Regional Airport (HGR) is approximately 30 miles from Gettysburg. The rental car offices at HGR are limited, with only one rental car company located on-site.
  • Driving car rentals in Gettysburg is generally straightforward. However, one important thing to keep in mind is the abundance of pedestrians, particularly in the historic downtown area. It's important to always be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for jaywalkers who may cross the street unexpectedly. Additionally, there are a few busy intersections in the downtown area that can require some extra attention when navigating. There are a few trucks and large vehicles on the roads, particularly when driving on the highways or outskirts of town.
  • Gettysburg can bring forth some difficulties for drivers during rush hour, which usually occurs between 7 am-9 am and 4 pm-6 pm on weekdays. Traffic volume can be high on major roads, such as Route 15 and Route 30, and delays can occur during peak hours, especially in the summer months when the town sees a high number of visitors. Moreover, snow and ice can create hazardous driving conditions for car rentals in Gettysburg during the winter, particularly on smaller roads that are not regularly plowed or salted.
  • Book your car hire in Gettysburg at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Gettysburg are around 35% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Gettysburg?

    When choosing Gettysburg car rentals, a compact or midsize car is recommended. The roads in Gettysburg are generally well-maintained, and traffic is not typically heavy, so a small or midsize car is ideal for navigating the town's streets and finding parking in the downtown area. Additionally, while there are a few hills in the area, they are not particularly steep or challenging. Therefore, a compact or midsize car with moderate horsepower should be more than sufficient for the types of roads and terrain found in Gettysburg.

  • What’s the speed limit in Gettysburg?

    The speed limit within the borough limits in Gettysburg is generally 25 mph on local residential streets, but it may go up to 35 mph on major thoroughfares such as Route 30.

  • Where are the best places to park in Gettysburg?

    If you are planning to visit the downtown area or the Gettysburg National Military Park, it is recommended to plan for paid parking as it can be difficult to find free parking spots during peak tourist season. Metered parking on the street typically costs $1 per hour, while parking garages and private lots may charge a higher daily rate of around $10-$15. Some private lots may offer discounts for multiple-day parking. If you are looking for free parking options, there are a few areas outside of the downtown and park areas where free parking is available. One such area is the Gettysburg Outlet Mall, which offers free parking for shoppers.

Pros:

Staff was nice but the car smelled like a dirty toilet. The brakes on the car were very bad. It made sense when the representative asked me if I planned on doing a lot of driving.

Cons:

Tell me about the car in it’s state and not let me drive off in that condition. I had a minor with me.

Cons:

When I showed up for my reservation, they told me they had no cars. I made a reservation the night before and when I arrived to pick up my car, I was stranded there because I had no way to get anywhere else. I had to walk on some busy main roads with no shoulder or sidewalk to get to another car rental place. False advertising for cars that were not actually there and it left me in an unsafe situation.

Liked that it was a new vehicle with low miles. Gave me the confidence that it should be a reliable vehicle. It was reliable, had no issues with it at all. Overall great experience. Maybe a bit pricey. Staff at the Gettysburg location was great.
