KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Shelbyville

  • Are you planning a vacation to Shelbyville? Visiting the city is worthwhile because you'll enjoy the city's vibrance and the culturally rich surrounding areas. However, having a convenient means of transport to help you explore the city's heartwarmingly stunning attractions is a godsend feel. It's okay to use public transportation services since the city's public transport system is top-notch. However, when visiting several places daily, Shelbyville car rentals offer convenience and affordability. With your car rentals in Shelbyville, you can have a trip to White Hall State Historic Site, 52 miles from the city center, Freeman Lake Park, 50 miles, or Camp at the Frontier Heritage Campground, 54 miles away.
  • The nearest airport to Shelbyville is Louisville International Airport (SDF). If flying into the city, you’ll likely land there. Take advantage of several car rental providers at the airport to get your car rentals in Shelbyville. Hertz, Alamo, National, Budget, Enterprise, Payless, and Avis are the popular rental providers. All the car rental desks are in the lower-level baggage claim area. You can get to the car rental offices using a free shuttle from the airport.
  • Driving your car rentals in Shelbyville is a safe, easy, and enjoyable experience, thanks to the less impatient drivers and well-developed roads. Road users generally abide by traffic rules and regulations. So, when driving your Shelbyville car rentals, be sure to abide by all the traffic light rules. The city has a zero-tolerance on drinking and driving, so you shouldn’t have any alcohol content in your system when driving your Shelbyville car rentals.
  • Just like other Kentucky cities, Shelbyville experiences considerable dense traffic during rush hours. Typically, the weekday rush hours begin from 7:30 am to 9 am, and the evening rush hours are experienced between 4 pm. and 6 pm. Don't drive during these hours when you can avoid it because traffic snarl-ups can impact your driving experience. Also, avoid congested areas as they're brimming with vehicles.
  • Book your car hire in Shelbyville at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Shelbyville are around 11% more expensive than other car types, on average

If you travel alone, look for an economy. But a standard or intermediate is recommended if you have a couple of passengers.

So, consider booking a Shelbyville hotel with a parking lot to fully focus on enjoying your vacation. The top hotels worth considering include Comfort Inn & Suites, Hampton Inn Simpsonville, Best Western Shelbyville Lodge, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Shelbyville, and Econo Roof Inn Shelbyville. Consider downtown Shelbyville if you opt for garage or metered parking. Charges vary, but on average, parking your car rentals in Shelbyville costs around $2 per hour.

Pros:

Nothing- enterprise was a nightmare. I had to end up canceling and going to Hertz next day and they were amazing

Cons:

They did not have the car in stock that I reserved so they sent me to another location the second location also did not have the car in stock but the person offered to give me a pick up truck for an additional 150 more. I did not want a pick up truck and the agent got nasty with me and told me that he wasn’t a part of the other location.They did not have the car in stock that I reserved so they sent me to another location the second location also did not have the car in stock but the person offered to give me a pick up truck for an additional 150 more.

For the size I reserved I was expecting something larger than I received. I reserved a standard suv. I was expecting something the size of a Ford Edge as was described online. Upon arrival I was given a Jeep Compass. Which the newer model is larger than past models but it is still far from a Ford Edge or something of similar size. It may also fall on me for not saying something in the moment but we were in a bit of a hurry to get on the road. This is more of an issue with enterprise and not kayak though.

Pickup time was Sunday at 12 noon. Arrived 12:02. Guy said we closed at 12 and wouldn’t give me rental. Customer service sent me to another location guaranteeing vehicle. Drove to this location to find no rental to meet 7 passengers. Drive to inconvenient third Budget location and had to pay more. Needless to say, extremely late to destination because lazy worker at first location would not give me the keys. He was very rude as well. Pathetic customer service. I will never rent from Budget/Avis again.

Budget called me at 10:30am (1.5 hrs before pick up) and let me know they didn’t think they’d have the kind of van I needed, that I reserved. I had to call 2 more times for updates , they didn’t call me. And I gave up. I never received a cancellation or a call to let me know they weren’t able to provide my reservation.

They did not have the vehicle I ordered and could not give me one that fit my needs. I ordered a van and they tried to put me in a Kia Rio!!! So massively disappointed in how the workers at Plantside acted and how unimportant them not full-filling the confirmation. We found out when we got there, they could have called to save us the trip. Called customer service and they were not helpful at all. Only confirmed that they did not have any van for us. Worst experience of my life. I dont know if I will ever rent from Budget again.
