KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Somerset

  • For visitors who wish to explore all that Somerset has to offer, renting a car is a very practical option. With a rental car, you’re in complete control of your schedule; you can choose the best routes for seeing the area when you use car rentals in Somerset. Renting a car offers unrivaled flexibility instead of relying on the fixed routes and set departure times of public transportation. Utilizing car rentals in Somerset makes it much simpler to visit well-known sights like the Somerset Peddlers Mall and Sinking Valley Vineyard and Winery.
  • The closest major airport with car-rental services in Somerset is Blue Grass Airport (LEX), which is 65 miles from downtown Somerset. LEX airport has a number of car-rental agencies on site, conveniently located in the Arrivals terminal. Alamo, Hertz, and Enterprise are a few of the agencies. For renters who want to use car rentals in Somerset, picking up your rental car from LEX airport offers a number of conveniences. The advantage of selecting LEX as the pick-up location for Somerset car rentals is that you’ll have access to a greater variety of rental cars.
  • There are a few important factors to take into account when planning to use car rentals in Somerset. For one, booster seats must be used to safely restrain children under the age of six or those children shorter than 4' 9". The required children’s safety seat is available from any of the Somerset car-rental agencies for an extra fee. Additionally, be prepared to drive cautiously in the Somerset central business area, watching for careless bicyclists and pedestrians crossing roads.
  • Driving in Somerset can be challenging, especially during the congested morning and afternoon rush hours. Between 6:40 and 8:20 in the morning, most of Somerset's highways experience significant traffic congestion, with US-27 and KY-80 having some of the heaviest traffic. From 4:40 pm to about 5:30 pm, you’ll be in the afternoon work traffic. It’s a good idea to leave for your car trip about 20 minutes earlier than you normally would, if you’re planning to use Highway 27 or Highway 80 during these hours.
  • Economy hire cars in Somerset are around 34% cheaper than other car types, on average
