KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lincolnton
- Lincolnton car rentals offer travelers numerous advantages over public transport options. With a rental vehicle, visitors can explore the city and its surrounding attractions at their own pace, enjoying greater convenience and flexibility. Must-see places like Lake Norman, Latta Plantation, and Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden have become more accessible, and travelers can also easily venture further to destinations like Asheville's Blue Ridge Mountains or Charlotte. Renting a car proves cost-effective for those wishing to visit multiple sites, avoiding the expenses of taxis or shuttles. Moreover, travelers can avoid the inconvenience of limited luggage space on public transportation, making their journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
- When renting a car at Douglas Airport (CLT), travelers should know that the rental car offices are within walking distance of the terminal, eliminating the need for a shuttle. After exiting the baggage claim area and heading outside, visitors can easily reach the rental car center by crossing the crosswalk. Major car rentals agencies like Enterprise and Avis have desks on the center's second floor. Due to high demand and convenience, rental vehicles are best booked in advance.

Though occasional impatience and aggressive driving might occur, traffic congestion is less than in larger cities. Bicyclists and pedestrians share the roads, so drivers should be attentive and considerate.

Navigating Lincolnton's roads is pleasant, but drivers should remain cautious and watchful for other road users to ensure a safe driving experience.

Cons:
The "full-size SUV" was more mid-size than full-size. We didn't have any trunk space and then the car's maintenance required sign popped up on the first day we had the car. The Hertz employee said the car had Blind-Spot Monitoring - it did NOT.2.0 Poor

Cons:
It would have been nice if they had the vehicle I have reserved. I paid extra money for a full size sedan but they only had a compact. I was charged the same price for a much smaller vehicle.

Pros:
Yes. I picked it up in a small town and they told me some things that Charlotte staff said wasn't true but they gave me a $10 discount when I dropped it off 2 make up the differenceCons:
I was really nervous picking up the car because it had animal hair on many of the seats and the floor mat was torn and there were a lot of rather large scratches on the hood. They kept reassuring me that I wouldn't be charged for any of that but in the past I've had them be real sticklers about it so asked them to write it on my check out papers. They kind of acted like I was crazy to be concerned about being charged for the damaged :-)6.4 Okay
Jan 2018
Pros:
The inside of the car was fine, and what we expected. Pick-up and drop off were super quick and convenient.Cons:
The car was filthy dirty outside. So bad, I took photos. Don't know how they can release a car in those conditions! Also, we picked up late in the day, and the day we wanted to return the car, they were not open that late, so we had to pay for an entire extra day for one hour. On top of that, I just noticed they charged us a $10 fee for giving them an extra day of busines!!! This should not happen. Other companies we rent from allow you to return anytime. Guess they have a camera that tells them when you dropped it off [or the keys in the slot], to make sure you are on time. Avis should get with the times!8.8 Very good
Mar 2017
Pros:
Car was the same size as advertised, and the rate given by Kayak was exactly what we were charged. We even got a refund for leaving more gas than we got! This was our first experience using Kayak and overall it was great, especially the rate in comparison to others.Cons:
Car had not been cleaned outside, just "watered" down. They did not go over dents in the car and when we noticed drove back to let them know.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The pick up location staff were great, the vehicle was wonderful!Cons:
We couldn't find the drop off location, searched for 20 minutes. Google maps took us to the wrong place so I was 17 minutes late and was charged 45 additional dollars!! We were with someone raised in Virginia Beach and she couldn't find the place either. Very frustrated...8.0 Very good
Aug 2018
Cons:
We were initially put in a car that reeked of smoke. (Our first clue of a problem should have been the chatty employee that talked about 'so many cars are returned with a smokey smell'... as though that would somehow make this seem normal.) We had to complain to get the car changed, but once we complained, the car was quickly swapped out. IMO, the guy wanted to unload the car on us - we were doing a long distance one-way rental... he probably wanted us to take the car so that he could remove it from his inventory.2.0 Poor
Oct 2016
Cons:
I never got to pick up the car. I ran into traffic and was literally 3 minutes late. I called ahead to let them know and asked if they could stay open 5 min so I could get the car. Instead they told me they closed promptly at 5:00 and there was nothing they could do about it. Extremely poor customer service
