KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Waynesville

  • To gain movement flexibility and convenience, allowing you to explore Waynesville and its surroundings at your own pace, consider getting a car from any of the cheap car rentals in Waynesville. Unlike public transport such as buses and trains, renting a car gives you the freedom to visit remote or less accessible areas within Waynesville. Additionally, it saves time by helping you avoid waiting for buses or trains. Some of Waynesville's surrounding attractions such as the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Pisgah National Forest, are best accessed by car due to their distance and limited public transportation options.
  • Waynesville does not have its own airport. Its closest major airport is Asheville Regional Airport (AVL). If you intend to rent a car from any of the Waynesville car rentals at AVL, note that the rental car offices are located on the ground floor of the airport's main terminal building. Since car rentals are located a comfortable walking distance from your baggage claim area, you should note that most of the onsite car rentals such as Hertz, Enterprise and VIP cars don’t offer free shuttle bus services.
  • When driving your rented car from any of the cheap car rentals in Waynesville, be cautious of jaywalkers and bicyclists. Jaywalking significantly contributes to the total number of accidents recorded on the major roads especially in downtown Waynesville. Most locals cross from one side of the road to the other without any consideration of the oncoming vehicle. Besides jaywalkers, bicyclists are another category of road users who may often flout safe road use guidelines. They keep shifting lanes without any prior notifications or consideration of the oncoming vehicle.
  • Like any other city, Waynesville's traffic patterns change with time. Traffic congestion is common on most routes during commuter or rush hours. Between 7 and 8:30 in the morning, the main routes leading into the city center are likely to be congested. You'll also encounter a traffic jam in the evening between 5 pm and 6:30 pm. On the other hand, weekends and holidays realize a relatively calm traffic flow on the key roadways. To enjoy your rented car from any of the cheap car rentals in Waynesville, you should plan your travel schedule to take advantage of the off-peak hours.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Waynesville are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

    When determining the type of car to rent from any of the cheap car rentals in Waynesville, you may consider two factors. First is the number of passengers. For instance, a minibus or an SUV would be your car-type options if you are traveling as a group of more than four people. These cars may, however, prompt you to reserve your parking spaces in advance. The second factor to consider is your destinations. You can consider a compact car if most of your destinations are in the city center. Compact cars fit better in small parking spaces within the city center. These cars also fit on the city center's narrow streets.

  • What’s the speed limit in Waynesville?

    Depending on the current conditions or circumstances on the road, drivers must maintain appropriate speed restrictions under the Waynesville transportation code. However, you must adhere to a 30 mph speed when driving your rented car from the cheap car rentals in Waynesville through the city's residential areas. You must maintain a 15 mph speed in the city center alleyways, while 70 mph is in effect on the interstates.

  • Where are the best places to park in Waynesville?

    Your first parking option for your rented car from the cheap car rentals in Waynesville is your hotel’s onsite parking. If your hotel doesn’t offer free onsite parking, you would be forced to budget for parking fees in some of the public parking lot options such as Wall Street Garage, North Carolina Welcome Center, and College Street Parking Deck. The average parking fees in most of these parking lots is $25 per hour.

They took over an hour to get it for me. Then it wasn’t clean. They said their equipment was broken so they couldn’t make it quite clean. It was filled only a quarter full of gas.

There was no car for us. I don’t know whether to blame Enterprise or Kayak but the website was not current. you should not be able to rent a car that does not exist. The only good thing is that someone called and told us before we got to the facility.

Everything was awesome except the fact that the card we had reserved wasn’t there so when we got ready to leave in the morning, we had to wait a couple of extra hours because they didn’t have the vehicle there. It had to be transported. Other than that. everything was amazing and excellent. The customer service the person who checked us out with it was amazing as well, very friendly knowledgeable.
