Very small airport; rental agencies are right next to the baggage claim.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mobile

  • Rich in history, Mobile is a popular destination in the United States’ South. You will find it beneficial to rent a car so that you can visit some of the nearby resort and beach towns like Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Dauphin Island (accessed via ferry). With a hire car you can also enjoy the white sandy beaches of the Florida Panhandle.
  • Mobile Regional Airport offers easy access to many cities around Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. This airport provides travelers with many modern conveniences including free wi-fi, coffee shops, eateries, and car hire services. Several hire car agencies are just steps from the terminal, including Thrifty, National, and Hertz. Some others are right across the street.
  • When driving on the Alabama highways, keep an eye out for construction workers. By law, you must move over to the lane farthest away from the worker(s) for added safety. Rainstorms are also very common in Mobile, which can cause difficult driving situations. If it starts to rain heavily while you are driving on vacation, be sure to turn on your headlights, slow down to keep control of your vehicle, and don’t brake suddenly, as this can cause you to hydroplane.
  • Rush hour in Mobile can add to your travel times. Traffic tends to get busy by around 6 a.m. for the morning commute, although it is the heaviest from 7 a.m. – 8 a.m. approaching downtown. In the evenings commuters typically return home from work between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., which can also cause some traffic delays. You’ll especially want to avoid driving on the George Wallace Tunnel during these times.
  • Medium hire cars in Mobile are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Mobile

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

    Because it can get hot in Mobile, you’ll want to rent a car with ample room for your family and a strong air conditioning system. If you travel there during the rainy season, you’ll also want to choose a car that is really safe to drive in harsh weather conditions.

  • What’s the speed limit in Mobile?

    When you are visiting restaurants or movie theaters on main roads in Mobile, the speed limit should be either 55 or 65 mph. To keep children safe, residential neighborhoods require you to drive no more than 25 mph. On highways, the maximum speed allowed is 60 mph in the city and 70 mph on the outskirts of town.

  • Where are the best places to park in Mobile?

    You’ll find plenty of convenient and safe parking spaces for your hire car around Mobile. There are an abundant number of metered parking spots on the streets.

Pros:

Easy pick up and drop off. The car swap was pretty smooth.

Cons:

Flat tire half way through the trip. No damage to the tire it just went flat somehow so that added about 3 hours to the trip. Road side assistance took two hours to get to us when it was estimated to be a little less than an hour (he changed it very quickly though and was very nice).

Cons:

The car provided to me was filthy. I could barely see through the smeared windshield, and there wasn't a drop of washer fluid. Worse, there was a terrible scraping sound that Hertz must have known about. This car should not have been rented to anyone, certainly not at the high price that I paid. It was the worst rental car experience I have ever had.
