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.
  • Book your car hire in McDonough at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini car hire in McDonough are around -23% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

Nothing to like.

Cons:

Actually getting the car I reserved, getting a refund for the car that they were not able to provide, not having a 3 hour line at the check in counter.

May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was friendly and quick (because I had already paid) once I got through the hour long line.

Cons:

The car was raggedy and dirty and poorly maintained. I barley made it back to the airport. Last 10 miles with hazards on in Atlanta traffic sweating bullets with a warning light for the engine air filter. HORRIBLE. When I returned the vehicle I tried to alert the attendant the the vehicle had an issue because I didn’t want it to be someone else’s safety issue. She acted like she barely cared. I can only hope someone else didn’t get that car. They won’t be making it far.

KAYAK

Pros:

The drop off was fine. The gentleman at the exit was very helpful. Everything else was awful.

Cons:

The wait time on line was awful. I stood there for an hour and a half before I saw a woman behind the counter who greeted me by telling me she couldn't wait to finish with me so she could leave. The rest of the staff ( 1 woman and two men ) spent more time away from the counter than behind it - they are seriously short-staffed and the customers suffer. They need to be aware of any problems there are with a car before they hand it over to a customer - our 1st car had a "check engine" light. There needs to be someone in the area a car is picked up from so that if there is a problem with the car when you get into it you don't have to drag your luggage back up to the counter and then back down again. The worst problem is that the woman behind the counter didn't tell me I had to call their Emergency Roadside department and report the problem. Because of her ineptitude, I wasn't able to get any consideration from Dollar because they had already charged my credit card. If I never have to deal with them again I will be thrilled. All Dollar will do is send me a $25 off a future rental that is only good for a year - if I ever get it at all. All this aggravation for almost $400 for half a day Saturday with a return of 10AM on Wednesday - highway robbery.

Pros:

Staff was efficient, car clean and well maintained.

Cons:

We waited in line for over 90 minutes to pick up our car. It was horrible! The desk person was very efficient when we got to the front of the line. There should have been way more workers helping. 90 minutes is ridiculous.

May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Inordinately long wait time. After waiting nearly two hours, they made me pay an extra $20/day so that I could rent a larger car and avoid waiting another hour.

May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The 4 hour wait time was an issue. Also, company overbooked reservations. We were lucky enough to get a car, but other behind us in line didn’t get the car they paid for.

Cons:

This is the 2nd time we’ve been in this situation with Dollar rental. We’ve paid for reservations and they had run out of cars. Absolutely will not use Dollar again.

Pros:

Bryan was very friendly

Cons:

Made an appointment for 11, I arrived at 10:35. To help speed things up before I arrived I prepaid and checked in prior to. The guy at the desk was friendly and fast. His attitude was pleasant despite the fact he was alone with a lobby full of unhappy customers. After 3 hours of waiting, which made me super late for work, I finally got the car. I didn’t bother to look for scratches, dents, or dings.. I grab the keys and left. Chances of me using this location again... slim to none.

Went to go pick up the car turns out they didn’t have it. Since we booked through kayak and not directly through hertz, couldn’t get a bigger size vehicle and told us to contact kayak instead.

They need more employees. My pickup time was not honored, I walked out 2hrs later. And that's with booking and pre-paid for the rental. I did the early check in process and still walked out 2hrs later...and then upon returning said they were keeping my $300 deposit because of a flat tire. I'm following through to see what tire cost $300!
