KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Nicholasville

  • When you have car rentals in Nicholasville, it is going to be much easier to see spots like the Camp Nelson Civil War Heritage Park, where you can explore this historic site and learn about the significant role it played during the Civil War. Having a rental car makes it far easier to enjoy Outdoor Recreation at Lake Mingo Park because you can take your entire group and all their outdoor gear in your vehicle as opposed to trying to do the same thing in public transportation or a taxi.
  • If you want Nicholasville car rentals at an airport location, your best choice will be the Blue Grass Airport (LEX) which is quite close to town. When you arrive at the airport you will find around seven major rental brands with all of them having service counters on the ground floor of the terminal near baggage claim. To pick up your car, you simply need to proceed to the rental car facility right next to the terminal.
  • Always wear your seat belt, and ensure all passengers in your vehicle are properly restrained as well when driving car rentals in Nicholasville, since seat belt use is mandatory by law in Kentucky. It is illegal to text or use handheld devices while driving in Kentucky. Use hands-free options if you need to make calls or use your phone for navigation. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Kentucky is 0.08%.
  • You should expect busier drive times during the morning and evening hours as people head to and from work. This will be especially true along US-27, KY-39, KY-169, and US-68. Another busy time is when the annual professional golf event occurs in the middle of July when a huge number of visitors come to town for the week. Traffic will increase not only around the event but in all areas of the town due to the increase in visitors.
  • Book your car hire in Nicholasville at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard car hire in Nicholasville are around -270% cheaper than other car types, on average

I was unaware that I needed to have my credit card with me. When I booked the rental, it didn’t advise me on what I needed to bring in order to pick it up. I have rented vehicles before and was able to use a debit card. So, I was stranded in Lexington instead of being where I needed to be.

On Oct. 18 the Dollar agent couldn't scan my card. Asked to type in the number, he simply said, we don't do that. We can't rent you the car you reserved. The Enterprise agent six feet away, did scan my card and gave a polite explanation of why none of them could type in my number.

Cons:

Dollar could spend the money to train their agents better with regard to common courtesy if not professional decorum.

The vehicle was well equipped. A Ford Fusion with backup camera and bluetooth sound system. The leather seats were very comfortable.

Cons:

There were a number of body scratches and I was afraid I would get blamed for them since no one came outside with me when I picked up the car and no one noted the condition of the vehicle. It also wasn't clean, particularly the interior windshield.

Cons:

This was the most infuriating experience with a car audio system ever. I don't know how anyone who uses a smartphone as an audio source could ever drive this car. When connected with a USB cable, so i could charge my phone, the system kept stopping the audio(podcasts app) and then switching to my music, randomly. I tried to just listen to music but it kept randomly stopping playback, sometimes restarting the song from the beginning, sometimes going to a completely different song, sometimes stopping entirely. I gave up trying to play from my phone and turned off audio in the car completely. while i left the phone plugged into USB to charge, but still, without me touching the phone or audio system, it would randomly open my music and start playing random songs through the audio system. I know my phone is not the problem because my personal car has a USB port integrated with the audio system and it works perfectly with my phone.
