Cheap car hire at Hilton Head Island airport
Top tips for hiring a car at Hilton Head Island airport
- Renting a vehicle from car rental at Hilton Head Island Airport has more advantages than the public transport provided by the free trolley services and bus operators. With a rental vehicle, you have the liberty of driving at your own pace at your preferred time. You'll experience more of what the island has to offer, including the beach, shopping destinations, arts and culture centers, museums and nightclubs. You can only experience these places with a rental car that you can drive at your own convenience, unlike public transportation, which only follows a single route.
- Car rental at Hilton Head Island Airport may charge extra dollars for the convenience and flexibility they offer arriving passengers. These charges include tax fees, car insurance, and car upgrade costs. One practical tip for renting a car at the airport is to avoid paying more on auto insurance by first understanding the details and costs involved in the policy. You also can limit your car rental budget by booking your preferred car in advance. This increases your chances of getting the specific model you want.
- Is your flight scheduled to touch down at Hilton Head Airport during the car rental after hours? Worry not because the car rental at Hilton Head Island Airport agencies provide after-hours pick-ups, although you'll have to follow additional steps from your agent. Returning the vehicle is also hassle-free during the after-hours. Once you park your car, leave the keys at the dropbox. Remember, you remain responsible for the car until your car rental operator inspects the car, usually within 24h of return.
- Hilton Head Island has good traffic flow, but it depends on your destination. If you plan on heading to the mainland, you can expect slow-moving traffic on Hilton Head Bridge. Cross your fingers not to have even a minor accident on the bridge because that would bring the traffic to a halt for several hours. Traffic during the morning rush is usually heavy from 7 am to 8.30 am and at dusk from around 6 pm to 7 pm. We recommend that you drive when the traffic moves relatively faster from around 11 am to 3 pm.
- Book your car hire at Hilton Head Island airport at least 2 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
My plane was delayed for a couple hours. When I realized this I called the rental office (it took quite some time for them to answer) and told them I would be delayed. They assured me that there would be someone there when I arrived. When I got there the office was closed and I had to wait until the next day to pick up my rental car. The next day they offered no apologies or explanation and still charged me the original amount for the full rental.1,9 Poor

Jackeline, Jul 2020
Cons:
I was told there was no car available for me and that I could wait to see if they had anything the next day. Then they were shocked i wanted to cancel the reservation. I had planned a cross country trip and needed to leave early in the morning the next day. So I was left scrambling to find another car from another business. Luckily the Budget counter had something for me and they were able to help me out. Now I know to go to Budget instead of Hertz in the future.2,0 Poor
