KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Concord
- Public transportation is not an ideal choice when you want to explore the city or travel to locations far out of the established routes. Moreover, some routes might not operate on weekends and during holidays. Car rentals in Concord are your best choice for exploring the city conveniently. You cut the waiting times for public transportation and do not have to carry your bulky luggage around. If you are a car enthusiast, visiting The Charlotte Motor Speedway, The Mustang Owner’s Museum, and Hendricks Motorsports Museum will be the highlights of your trip to Concord.
- Concord Car Rentals offers a great way to explore Concord on your own terms. However, it's important to abide by the local laws concerning blood alcohol content (BAC). Any BAC level of .08 or above is considered a violation and can result in an arrest for driving while impaired (DWI). Furthermore, people under the age of 21 cannot consume any amount of alcohol at all while driving in Concord. This means if you're under 21 and are found to be drunk while driving, you may face penalties regardless of your BAC level. For a worry-free vacation, we recommend adding an additional driver to your rental agreement so that you can responsibly enjoy alcoholic beverages without sacrificing road safety.
- The main airports for travelers to Concord are the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and the Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (JQF). Concord-Padgett Regional Airport is approximately 10miles from the city center, while Charlotte Douglas Airport is 30 miles away. The car rental counter at the regional airport is within the terminal. The rental companies here include Budget, Enterprise, Avis and Hertz. The Rental Car Facility at Charlotte Douglas International Airport is in the Level 2 lobby. Here, you can find Alamo, Hertz, Budget, Enterprise, Dollar, National, Sixt and Avis.
- Most Concord car rentals require renters to use a credit card as an accepted method of payment. However, some companies like Enterprise also allow debit card payments, provided that you attach additional documentation and have a certain balance on your account. The name on the credit card needs to match that of the main driver. Some cheap car rentals in Concord will accept cash for payment, such as Dollar. However, such a company may however require a security charge on a major credit card prior to getting your rental car.
- Driving in Concord is generally easy because the roads are well-paved, and the city gives priority to maintaining safety on its roads. Be careful to stick to the rules because breaking them comes with hefty penalties. If you are driving on a two-lane road, you should stop when a school bus is picking up or dropping off kids. Moreover, give pedestrians way at marked and unmarked crosswalks and intersections.
- Concord car rentals may allow third-party drivers under certain criteria. A domestic partner or a spouse is usually allowed to drive at no extra cost. The additional drivers must meet age and license requirements and appear in person at the rental location. If a debit card is used for payment, with some companies like Enterprise, only the renter's domestic partner or spouse may be included as an approved driver beyond the original renter. An extra charge may apply for every extra accepted driver; this amount will be added to the total rental cost.
- Rush hour traffic is one of the biggest challenges when driving car rentals in Concord. The rush hours are typically between 7:30 am-9 am and 4:30 pm-6:30 pm. Most traffic is concentrated on major highways and the central business district. Consider traveling outside the rush hours to avoid wasting time. Floods are common in Concord. If you are caught up in one, move to higher ground and do not drive through flooded streets or moving water.
