Top tips for hiring a car at Memphis Airport

  • If you book a car rental at Memphis Airport, you will be provided with an easy way to move throughout the city. Memphis is not known for being particularly walkable or for having an extensive public transportation system, so driving is one of the best ways to get to where you need to go. Having your own vehicle will also make it easy to store any sports equipment or luggage that you may be traveling with.
  • There are several different models that you can choose between for your car rental at Memphis Airport. If you will be traveling with several other passengers or are planning on spending some time in the nearby mountains, you can opt for a standard or full-size SUV. When driving throughout the city center, a compact vehicle is a convenient option, as it will make it easier to park and drive through narrow streets.
  • Once you are ready to return your car rental at Memphis Airport, you can do so by bringing it back to the location where you first picked it up at the Ground Transportation Center. Most rental car companies that have branches at the airport keep their fleets in this area, so make sure to look for your specific brand. As you start to approach the airport by car, you will find signs that will help to guide you to the drop-off area. Depending on which specific company you choose to rent a car with, you may have the option of dropping your vehicle off outside of normal business hours.
  • Memphis is a popular destination amongst travelers, so its roads can often be congested. To prevent yourself from getting caught in a traffic jam, plan on picking up and returning your rental outside of rush hour, which is generally between 6 and 9 am and 5 and 7 pm. Some major roads tend to be busier than others, and these include streets like Interstates 175 and 240.
  • Book your car hire at Memphis Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about hiring a car at Memphis Airport

  • What are the documents that I need to rent a car from Memphis Airport?

    To book a Memphis Airport car rental, you are required to provide a few different documents to your rental company of choice. For example, all customers must have a driver’s license that is valid and does not expire during your rental period. If you do not have a license that was issued from the United States, you may be able to use either an international license or a foreign license. Make sure to check with your rental company ahead of time to see what type of license is accepted. You will also want to have your passport with you in case a photocopy needs to be kept in your file.

  • Does the rental car center at Memphis Airport offer amenities or services for customers?

    The rental car center at Memphis Airport is equipped with public restrooms that all customers are welcome to use. There is also a sitting area if you would like to rest for a few minutes while waiting for all your paperwork to be finalized. The center is accessible for travelers with limited mobility, and airport employees are available to help you make your way to your company’s desk if you will need additional assistance.

  • How do I get to the rental car center at Memphis Airport?

    The rental car center can be found in the Ground Transportation Center. To head here, go to the lower level of the B Terminal and follow the signs that are labeled Rental Cars. Once you have reached the Ground Transportation Center, you will see signs that will point you to your individual company’s desk.

  • Which car hire companies will pick you up at Memphis Airport?

    Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Memphis Airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, National, Payless, and Thrifty.

Filthy car, no L1 charger included. No one available upon return. Daily charge added for EV accessories which were not included. Told to charge KIA at Tesla supercharger using a NACS to J1772. I tried explaining it wouldn't work- they assured me it would. I didn't argue. Memphis airport Budget location is dramatically understaffed. An issue that didn't seem to be a problem at the several other counters and pickup locations. Not my first negative experience with Budget, but it's my last.

UI liked nothing. I had previously made a confirmed reservation for 5:30PM. I approached the rental counter at approximately 5:35PM. The agent took my driver's license and a hard copy of my confirmed reservation. After a few minutes she informed me there were no cars available, and it could be 1 to 2 hours before a vehicle could be available. I pointed out a vehicle less than 509 feet from the counter and was told it was unavailable. Approximately 1 hour and fifteen minutes later the agent called me to the counter, explained a vehicle was available but I would be required to pay an upcharge. She pointed to the very same vehicle which was still in the same spot I had inquired about when I first got to the counter. I had to drive over two hours south of Memphis for a meeting the next morning. I had to have a car. She explained the upcharge would be $10. I agreed. I received a charge to my credit card for just over $239. $200 of which she explained was a deposit. I am requesting a full refund for the upcharge and confirmation the $200 deposit has been returned to my account. I have never been treated like this by any rental car company. I will never rent from your firm again. I am sending out a blast email to all my contacts and work associates detailing my experience and recommending they never use your firm.

Found good pricing online. The hiccup was that there was a 4 hour delay to pick up the vehicle when we arrived at the airport, as cars had not been turned in on time, so we had to use Uber to leave the airport, then return to pick up the vehicle. I was notified when the vehicle was ready and from there, things went smoothly. Car was clean on pick up overall; had some prior dings that we noted before leaving the rental pick up site, but nothing major. The vehicle return went well.
