KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lexington

  • Whether you are on a business trip, commercial travel, or just on a private trip, car rentals in Lexington provide a way to travel more independently and explore locations you would have otherwise missed. Renting a car in Lexington gives you an easy way to explore Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve and Icehouse Amphitheater. Unlike the mass transport systems that operate on fixed schedules, rental cars give you much-needed flexibility in your trip. Additionally, you can explore locations the scheduled mass transit systems do not cover.
  • You will land at Colombia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) when flying into Lexington. You can get a vehicle from car rentals in Lexington right from the airport. Hertz offers on-site rental services at the airport. It has a rental counter on 3000 Aviation Way, 29170 that operates from Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 12 am. It remains open from 7:30 to 10 pm on Saturdays and from 7:30 am to 12 am on Sundays. National, Budget, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Thrifty, Avis, Alamo, and Dollar offer pick-up services from the airport to their off-airport rental locations.
  • Before getting behind the wheel of any Lexington rental car, here are a few tips you should have. First, every occupant of a motor vehicle in Lexington must wear a seatbelt. Children under six years must be secured in a child passenger restraint. When driving on a highway or street half an hour before sunrise or after sunset, you must turn on your headlights. You must also turn on headlights when using windshield wipers as a result of sleet, snow, or rain.
  • While driving around Lexington is usually relatively straightforward, avoid driving during rush hours. Lexington experiences rush hour traffic in the morning and evening. The morning rush hour typically lasts from 7 am to 9 am, while the evening rush hour is from 4 pm to 7 pm. Particularly avoid driving on Buck Coley Rd during the rush hours as it experiences heavy traffic flow during these hours.
  • Book your car hire in Lexington at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size hire cars in Lexington are around 34% more expensive than other car types, on average

Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

I was apparently an hour late and it cost me twice as much as I was quoted. I learned that budget has independent centers. It was horrendous. I will never choose Budget again. Don’t do it people, they are not kind nor helpful. There are lots of other options.

Cons:

The first car I was assigned had a low air in the tire light on and I had to go back to the desk to change cars. And two days into the rental, the same thing happened to the car that I was driving. I filled the tire at the gas station, but that should be taken care of before renting the car

I liked nothing. Everything was terrible. Had Everything set up online. Had the money on hand. But because I didn't have a credit card we were told they wouldn't rent to us and offered no help. They stranded 4 people on the opposite side of the country due to this. Don't allow someone to book something and then back out the day of when it is too late.
