KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hershey

  • Hershey is home to numerous attractions, including Hersheypark, Hershey's Chocolate World, and the Hershey Gardens. With car rentals in Hershey, you can easily access these sites and make the most of your time. You can plan day trips to nearby cities like Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Gettysburg without being constrained by public transportation schedules. The surrounding region has wineries and breweries you can explore at your own pace with a Hershey car rental. All of this travel is made much easier by getting a car rental in Hershey instead of expensive taxis or ride-share vehicles or relying on public transportation.
  • When you want to get Hershey car rentals at an airport, one choice in this area is Harrisburg International Airport (MDT). When you rent here, you will find about seven major brands operating here, and they all have their counters in the baggage claim area and the cars right outside. Harrisburg isn't your only option though. You can also fly into is Lancaster Airport (LNS), where three large rental brands offer service. This smaller airport also provides the convenience of rental counters in the terminal building and cars just outside.
  • While driving laws in Hershey generally follow state regulations, visitors should know some unique aspects and laws before getting behind the wheel of car rentals in Hershey. In Pennsylvania, making a left turn on red from a two-way street onto another two-way street is illegal. Pennsylvania law prohibits drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving. This includes texting, emailing, and using social media. Roundabouts are becoming more common in many areas, including Hershey. When entering a roundabout, vehicles already in the roundabout have the right of way. In some cases, right turns on red are not allowed, even after coming to a complete stop. Be sure to look for signs that indicate this restriction.
  • Weekday mornings, usually from around 7:00 am to 9:00 am, might have more traffic on roads like Hersheypark Drive, Route 39, and Route 422. This same congestion can occur on weekday afternoons between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm During the peak tourist season, especially when Hersheypark and other attractions are open, you might encounter increased traffic around the entrances to these attractions. Events at the Giant Center and other entertainment venues in Hershey can lead to traffic congestion in the surrounding areas.
  • Medium hire cars in Hershey are around 68% cheaper than other car types, on average
