Cheap car rentals in Greenville
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Greenville
- If you are traveling with kids, try the SUV Greenville car rentals that have enough space for people and luggage. Don’t drive Greenville cheap car rentals along the left lane on highways. The left lane is used for an upcoming left turn or passing purposes. Furthermore, when your windshield wipers are on, ensure your headlights are on. The State laws don’t allow you to text when driving. Oddly enough, the laws do not prohibit wearing earphones when driving car rentals in Greenville.
- Drinking and driving are not allowed for drivers with a blood-alcohol content of 0.08% or higher. We always advise against driving car rentals in Greenville when under the influence. Please leave the Greenville car rental behind. When driving car rentals in Greenville, make sure you get familiar with the major roads and the metropolitan area. Always make sure you check out the navigation applications before you go to a destination. If you are caught up in the rush hour traffic, book the compact or economy car rentals in Greenville, they are small enough to maneuver the traffic and get you to your destination faster.
- Book an SUV car rental in Greenville for a road trip with your loved ones. You and your loved ones will have enough legroom and cargo space to picnic, reconnect with nature, and unwind at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Alternatively, you can travel in style by booking a convertible car rental in Greenville and enjoy the scenery as you cruise through the area. If you are coming from the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, it will take you less than an hour to drive into town. The I-385 route will take you directly to the heart of Greenville. Additionally, the parking is affordable in the downtown area. Some parking garages offer free parking for the first hour, while others are free on the weekends and after hours.
- A rental car is the perfect way to explore not only Greenville, but also the surrounding region of northern South Carolina. With a car you will be able to freely explore the city’s main attractions, such as Falls Park on the Reedy, located in downtown Greenville's Historic West End. Head to Caesars Head State Park, where you’ll be surrounded by mountains and majestic nature. It’s less than an hour’s drive away and you can make as many scenic stops as you please.
- All the big car rental agencies, including Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise, can be found at Greenville–Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), which is located in Greer, about 20 minutes northeast of Greenville.

The rental cars are typically parked on the first level of the parking garage.
- Driving in Greenville is pretty straightforward, as long as you keep an eye out for road signs as well as cyclists, since most areas of the city don’t have a designated bike path. Although the coast of South Carolina is hit the hardest during hurricane and cyclone season (June through November), the rest of the state is also at risk. If you’re driving in those months, make sure to be extra careful when the weather gets wetter.
- Although traffic is manageable, especially when compared to other big U.S. cities, you’re better off avoiding rush hour traffic both in the morning (between 7:30 and 10 a.m.) and the afternoon (between 4 and 7 p.m.), especially if you don't want to be stuck in traffic for longer than needed. The I-385 gets quite congested during those times, as do other roads such as Memorial Drive, Greenville Boulevard, and Arlington Boulevard.

Cons:
They didn't have the cargo van I rented. They called day of, saying they wanted to "save me the time" of coming to get it. I asked if they could locate one at another location and they told me I could call around. I did--no luck. I ended up having to rent an actual moving van and pay an extra month for being late. The representative didn't even apologize--just acted like it wasn't his problem. Appalling lack of customer service. :-(6.0 Okay

Cons:
The car smelled offensively of excessive air freshener as if the smell of cigarette smoke was being masked. The air freshener was so powerful that my cloths and belongings would smell like it hours after getting out of the car. My jacket still smells a day later!8.4 Very good

Pros:
I liked being able to book my rental online.Cons:
When we arrived to pick up the vehicle, the van that I requested was not available. The van we requested would have had more space for our belongings to fit. The Pathfinder we received was very limited. We also had a price quoted online, and had I not had an issue with it, I would have been charged almost $200 more than I originally agreed to. Even though the pathfinder is a great vehicle, we needed exactly what we requested. Especially since we'd reserved the van at least two to three weeks in advance.10.0 Wonderful
