You can go to Boone's Cave Park, about 49 miles north of the city, Sugarloaf Mountain, approximately 50 miles southeast of the city, Sliding Rock, around 50 miles northwest, and High Lock Lake, about 60 miles northeast of Matthews.
  • Most flights to Matthews land at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Several car rental agencies are at the airport, including Dollar, Turo, Easirent, Ace, and Alamo. These rental agencies are located near the baggage claim terminal across the street. Shuttle buses offer convenient services to connect passengers to the rental car facility. Most car rental agencies recommend passengers book a vehicle in advance for easier pick-up.

Avoid blocking the crosswalk with your car and drive slowly to ensure the safety of pedestrians. To drive a rental car, you must have a minimum age of 25 and have a valid driver's license. Though drunk driving is prohibited, city laws allow a blood alcohol concentration below 0.08.
  • Some Matthews streets are affected by traffic, mainly between 6 am and 8 am and 5 pm. and 7 pm on weekdays. The most congested streets are the intersection of W. Matthews Street and N.

Horrible, Will never rent again. Made a mistake when setting up location at airport. When I went to pick up I was told it was the wrong location and they charged me double for an honest mistake. Never again.

Full-size SUV

KAYAK
I reserved an SUV (Nissan Pathfinder) for a 3 day rental. When I arrived, the agency only had 2 cars; a minivan and a Hyundai Sonata. Neither one fit my needs. After 10 minutes of discussion, a Volkswagen Taos was returned. The agents prepped it for me but provided a disclaimer that the car's interior was dirty. I agreed but due to limited time, had to take it. The car felt undersized for what I rented but I was told over and over that it was in the same car class. I'm still not sure about that as it felt more like a compact SUV.
One traveller who hired a car in Matthews gave the car agency they used an average rating of 5,6
