KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Pelham

  • Renting a car from any of the cheap car rentals in Pelham provides convenience and flexibility that may not be realized by public transport, such as buses and trains. With your car rental from Pelham car rentals, you may explore locations within and outside of Pelham at your speed, routes, and departure schedule. A rented car will also allow you to access most sites that are not well-served by public transport. Some of these sites and places may include; Oak Mountain State Park, Pelham Civic Complex, and Alabama Wildlife Center.
  • When flying into Pelham, the most likely destination airport is Birmingham Airport (BHM). Despite the fact that it is not immediately located in Pelham, BHM is a short drive away. If you intend to rent a car at BHM, please keep in mind that car rental firms are conveniently located in the Rental Car Facility, a distinct facility next to the main terminal complex. Enterprise, Budget, Thrifty, and Hertz are among the accessible car rentals that provide a courtesy shuttle to the majority of the offsite car rental outlets in Pelham.
  • Understanding a few vital considerations when driving your rented car from cheap car rentals in Pelham is important. First, because Pelham roads record a significant population of bikers, you should be cautious of sharing the road and providing them space when driving your rented car from Pelham car rentals. Second, jaywalking or crossing the road unexpectedly is common in Pelham, so it's critical to be vigilant and keep an eye out for jaywalkers at all times. This will help you not to get involved in costly accidents.
  • Rush hour traffic in Pelham might make driving your rented car from any of the cheap car rentals in Pelham difficult, especially during peak periods. Some of the major routes, such as Interstate 65 (I-65), U.S. Route 31 (US-31), and Pelham Parkway, may be very congested. Rush hour is more common in the morning and evening commutes. The morning rush lasts from 7 am to 9 am, while the evening rush lasts from 5 pm to 7 pm.
  • Standard hire cars in Pelham are around 53% cheaper than other car types, on average

A compact car will provide greater fuel efficiency, maneuverability, and convenience of parking on the city's outskirts. With narrow streets, fewer parking spots, and the possibility of traffic congestion, particularly during rush hours, a compact car from Pelham car rentals will allow you to maneuver the busy streets conveniently.

  • What's the speed limit in Pelham?

    If you intend to rent a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Pelham, keep in mind that speed restrictions vary based on location or zone. In most residential areas, the speed restriction is 25 mph. Major highways have speed restrictions ranging from 65 mph, while school or church zones often have a speed limit of 20 mph. To avoid overspeeding, it is critical to keep an eye out for posted signs that specify precise restrictions. Furthermore, be wary of speed cameras that enforce speed restrictions when driving your Pelham car rentals in select regions, especially on major highways.

  • Where are the best places to park in Pelham?

    Please include your parking charges when budgeting for your car rental services in Pelham. Although Pelham offers some of the best free parking places, such as Oak Mountain State Park, Pelham Civic Complex, shopping centers, restaurants, and Pelham City Park, most drivers would prefer paid parking due to the ample space and optimized security. The average hourly parking rate in most paid parking lots is $3.

The Nissan Rogue which I ended up with does not have the most awesome seats for a long drive... and the GPS (several times) didn't have a clue as to where we were or how to get where we were going... phone navigation saved the day...
