KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in McDonough

  • The transport system in McDonough, Georgia, is not as comprehensive as many other cities, and you'll find that getting a rental car comes with its advantages. From having the ability to keep to your own schedule to feeling safer given that you'll be behind the wheel, to the opportunity to see a lot more without having to worry about routes, schedules, and getting into the interiors. With a car rental in McDonough, you have the ability to skip town and venture as far as 32 miles away to the Georgia Aquarium in approximately half an hour. You could also drop at the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park just 57 miles away in about an hour.
  • You'll find a rental car facility at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport where you can pick up your car from various rental companies such as Avis, Dollar, and Enterprise. The consolidated rental car facility is located at the west end of the terminal. Use the escalator, the station where you’ll board the ATL SkyTrain that’ll take you directly to the facility about 1.5 miles from the airport terminal.
  • While driving with your McDonough rental car, be wary of jaywalkers as some roads may not have crosswalks available. The law allows pedestrians to jaywalk as long as they yield to traffic, so as a new driver in the city, be careful. During the winter season, it's not uncommon for roads to freeze following snow, so be prepared with a four-wheel-drive to avoid accidents if you intend to visit McDonough in winter. You may also encounter flash floods during the rainy season.
  • There’s not much traffic on most of the city roads in McDonough. However, the 1-75 is one of the most notorious routes for traffic jams. The morning rush hours in McDonough span from 6am to 8am. Traffic picks up again from 9am to 10am, but after that is going to be smooth sailing. The evening commute goes from 4pm to 7pm, so if you need to travel during those times, it may be better to grab a bite as you wait then commute after 7pm. These commutes could take longer if there’s an accident or ongoing construction.
  • Standard hire cars in McDonough are around 67% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in McDonough

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in McDonough?

    Getting a car like a sedan or a minivan, depending on your desired capacity, would be ideal in McDonough. However, if you intend to venture out on gravel roads such as Stroud Road or dirt roads like Owen Drive or the Butler Bridge Drive, getting a midsize SUV from car rentals in McDonough would be a better option. This type of vehicle will give you enough room to beat the McDonough heat and enough flexibility to venture on different types of roads in and outside the city.

  • What’s the speed limit in McDonough?

    Different areas in McDonough have different speed limits, starting with 55mph on roadways, 70mph on interstate highways, 65mph on divided highways, 35mph on paved country roads, 30mph in residential and urban districts, and 20mph in school zones.

Hearn Road from Fairview Road has a speed limit of 35mph, which also applies to Patrick Henry Parkway from Jodeco Road.

    It’s relatively easy to find parking spaces in McDonough though you’ll have to pay parking meters approximately $1 per hour for 3h, after which you’ll get a $10 ticket. You may be able to find free parking, but these are rare, so check the signs.

Pros:

The staff seemed to work the best they could under the current state of our country.

Cons:

The vehicle was not in the best condition. It was in terrible need of major repairs and was difficult to drive on the highway due to alignment issues.

I chose the “Special” which is the selection of the rental company. They selected an EV which would not be feasible because I was driving a route without charging stations. They did not want to allow me another option without an additional cost per day. Fortunately, one of the managers was very kind and allowed me to get a vehicle that was good on gas at no extra charge. If I had not waited and asked someone else, I would have been put in a 17 mpg vehicle at $10 more per day. Beware of the “special”.
