KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Marion

  • Marion car rentals provide a convenient way to explore the county seat of Williamson County, Illinois, and nearby areas. You can drive to different destinations that can’t be accessed by public transport and stop wherever you need. Start your trip by heading south to Shawnee National Forest, a vast wilderness area with stunning landscapes and outdoor recreational opportunities, or drive southwest to Murphysboro, a charming town along the banks of the Big Muddy River.
  • If you’re visiting Marion, IL, you’ll fly into Williamson County Regional Airport (Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois), around 6 miles from downtown Marion. Hertz Car Rental is the primary provider at the airport, offering local and one-way rentals. The car rental desk is inside the Terminal building. You’ll find more car rental locations in downtown Marion. For instance, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has an office along 2705 W Deyoung St.
  • Driving in Marion, IL, is generally a pleasant experience. The city has a good road network, and nearby areas offer beautiful scenic drives. Shawnee Forest Country, the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, and the Historic National Road are popular routes with the best scenery.
