KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Germantown

  • Car rentals in Germantown, TN, offer more convenience and flexibility than public transportation. They provide the convenience of having a vehicle at your disposal whenever needed. You're not limited by the schedules and routes of public transportation, which can be especially advantageous if you have a busy itinerary or want to explore areas that might not be easily accessible by bus or train. Besides, like many suburban areas, Germantown might have attractions, shopping centers, or natural areas that are not well-served by public transportation. A rental car lets you easily reach remote places like Shelby Farms Park, Memphis Zoo, and Wolfe River Nature Area.
  • The closest major airport serving Germantown, Tennessee, is the Memphis International Airport (MEM). The facility has several car rentals in Germantown located on-site, making it convenient for travelers to rent cars directly from the airport. These rental car agencies are conveniently located on-site at the Ground Transportation Center, just a short distance from the terminal building. The facility is accessible via a shuttle service. Popular brands operating here include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and Thrifty. You can often make reservations in advance through the rental agencies' websites or contact them directly to inquire about rental options, rates, and availability.
  • Tennessee, in general, is often associated with a relatively polite driving culture. Germantown drivers might exhibit a friendly attitude on the road, including allowing other drivers to merge and showing consideration to pedestrians. In addition, with the growing popularity of cycling, drivers are encouraged to share the road with cyclists and maintain a safe distance when passing them. Most importantly, as you explore the area with your Germantown car rentals, you are expected to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and follow traffic rules related to pedestrian safety.
  • Germantown, Tennessee, is a suburban city located near Memphis. While it's less densely populated than major urban centers, traffic congestion can still occur, especially during peak commuting hours and in areas with commercial and retail activity. Rush hours occur in the morning (7 am-9 am) and evening (4:30 pm). If you are touring the region during winter, ensure you get good tire tread, as it is crucial for traction on wet or icy roads. Make sure your tires have adequate tread depth. Furthermore, turn on your headlights when visibility is reduced due to winter weather. This helps other drivers see you better.

Made a reservation for a car, got a confirmation. Then on the day I was supposed to pick it up, got a phone call from Enterprise that they didn't have any more cars. They offered to call me if any came in, but I cancelled the reservation. They should never have confirmed my reservation.

The car was really good with a few small problems. Drop off was super easy. No haggling or last minute attempts to up sell. The billing was correct, and the price was fair.

Cons:

Pick up took longer than it should have. The cabin noise in the car was louder than my 15 year old 4WD truck. The rear tire had a slow leak that should have been addressed.

Pros:

Cons:

We asked for a standard car. When we arrived at the Enterprise office, they said that they only had a truck which my wife could not get into because of the height (we are senior citizens). Finally, they gave us a compact which was very uncomfortable. In conclusion, we did not get the car requested.

The in person service was great, but the phone service trying to get the car was awful. Ended up having to spend an additional day in town because of it. The place I was the originally pick up the car was CLOSED. Always closed on Sundays! When I called I was sent to a second location, and they were out of cars! Said that all the places in the area (at 11am) were out of cars. Even though I had reserved one. Finally got a car the next day from a very nice woman at the original location I was supposed to pick up from. Car was fine, but very dirty and trashed on the inside. Wouldn’t book again.

I cannot convey my disappointment strongly enough. I am both astounded and infuriated by the “service” I received this past week from Hertz, a company that once stood for reliability and exceptional customer service. After booking a car half a month in advance at a Memphis, TN location, I was blindsided just 30 minutes before pickup with the news that there were no cars available. What transpired next was a catastrophic circus of confusion and disappointment. The customer service line first asserted there were "no cars available,” but then proceeded to offer me a mid-sized sedan at my original location, which doesn’t fit with the “no cars available” narrative. However, upon arrival at the pick-up location, the local staff informed me that there were, in fact, no cars at all. The ones I saw ‘available’ online were rented out for insurance claims. I suggested a call to the airport location for their availability, but local staff met that with a cynical, "Oh, the airport won't answer their phone, good luck there." When I attempted the customer service line, they dangled the promise of an available car at the airport, only to snatch it away upon discovering my one-way drop-off requirement (which was clearly outlined in my reservation and booking that Hertz reneged on same-day). Driven to desperation, my search extended to Nashville, a full three hours away from my original Memphis pick-up location. After a tedious call to establish the availability of a truck for one-way, single-day trip, the customer service agent asked if I could be put on hold and severed the call. These are not mere inconveniences but substantial disruptions. Hertz's right hand doesn't have a clue what the left hand is doing. This experience left me questioning the integrity of Hertz, their business ethics, and their commitment to customer satisfaction. If I had not had a support system to fall back on (aka my 71-year-old father-in-law driving 6 hours in a single day to fetch me), I wouldn’t have been able to attend a family wedding—and most folks wouldn’t have that back-up option. How is this ok? Hertz provided zero help in mitigating their failed service, and openly laughed at my attempts to solve it myself. The Better Business Bureau needs to investigate Hertz ASAP.
