KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hobbs

  • Renting a car from one of the car rentals in Hobbs is a wise move. A rental car will afford you the freedom to move from one fun destination to another comfortably, privately, and directly, whenever you want to. It’ll also give you the chance to check out attractions in towns neighboring Hobbs, notably Lovington, Odessa, Lubbock, Carlsbad, Pecos, and Roswell. Additionally, with a rental car, you’ll be able to keep within your planned budget. If you choose to use taxis to get around, this might not be possible, due to unpredictable cumulating costs.
  • Flights to Hobbs land at Hobbs Lea County Airport (HOB). If you want to rent a car after landing at this airport, the Hobbs car rentals you can rent from include Enterprise and National. Although they’re not present on-site, these companies offer pick-up services from HOB to their off-site locations. Since the demand for rental cars from these agencies is always high, book a rental car in advance to make sure you get what you want.
  • Like other cities in New Mexico, Hobbs boasts well-maintained roads with proper markings, signage, and lighting. Additionally, the majority of drivers in Hobbs follow the road rules. Nevertheless, you should still practice safe driving habits and always be on high alert when you’re driving in this community. Always maintain a safe distance from other cars, since some drivers ignore the laws when given the chance. You should also be mindful of pedestrians, given that some will cross the road without considering oncoming traffic.
  • Traffic in Hobbs is not extreme. However, like other towns with relatively significant populations, some roads experience slow-moving traffic when people commute to and from work. In this city, you can expect traffic on roads leading into the downtown area between 7 am and 9 am. On roads going away from the city, traffic is normally heavy between 5 pm and 7 pm. If you intend to drive the rental car you acquire from one of the car rentals in Hobbs during these rush-hour periods, be sure to have a navigation system with you. It’ll assist you in finding the least congested routes to take.
  • Book your car hire in Hobbs at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

The vehicle I had reserved was not available; since it was an hour pas my pick up time ; I needed to have a vehicle; took what was offered. It was dirty ; the driver’s seat was stained, the interior had been rushed to be cleaned and it showed. The plastic skid plate underneath the driver’s side of the car was hanging down and dragged and skipped along the roadway the entire time. No one that was being processed with me got the vehicle they reserved. Now let’s get to the facility itself. The restroom was an absolute disaster. The toilet was physically falling through the floor!!! I wasn’t sure where the water was going??? The trash can was overflowing. Just awful, absolutely disgusting. They didn’t appear to be under staffed, there was 3 agents working the counter. Now , for the return of the vehicle to the Enterprise lot at the Midland airport I had to simply figure it out on my own; as did everyone else returning a vehicle there. No directions or outside staff whatsoever.
