KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in McDonough

  • Driving in McDonough is generally straightforward, but some roads require extra caution. For example, Jonesboro Road is a busy thoroughfare that is also used by pedestrians, so keep an eye out for people walking along the road or crossing the street. GA-20 runs east-west through McDonough and is an important commercial corridor with many businesses, shopping centers, and restaurants. This means that it is a major commercial corridor, so expect to encounter vehicles turning left or right into various shopping centers and businesses along the road.
  • If you are exploring McDonough in cheap car rentals in McDonough, it is important to know that you will encounter toll roads. The I-75 South Metro -- Express Lanes are such roads. These bidirectional toll roads stretch along the highway's center. Additionally, there are toll rate signs located on the northbound side of I-75 at SR 155/McDonough Road, which provide real-time toll rate information. It is advisable to have cash or a Peach Pass to pay for tolls on these roads.
  • Mastering McDonough's major roads is necessary to navigate the city with ease. For driving cheap car rentals in McDonough, some major routes include I-75 which is a major interstate highway that connects McDonough to Atlanta and other cities in Georgia, as well as other states. It's a fast and efficient way to travel long distances. McDonough Parkway is a newer road that runs around the perimeter of the city and provides easy access to different parts of McDonough.
  • The transport system in McDonough, Georgia, is not as comprehensive as many other cities, and you'll find that getting a rental car comes with its advantages. From having the ability to keep to your own schedule to feeling safer given that you'll be behind the wheel, to the opportunity to see a lot more without having to worry about routes, schedules, and getting into the interiors. With a car rental in McDonough, you have the ability to skip town and venture as far as 32 miles away to the Georgia Aquarium in approximately half an hour. You could also drop at the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park just 57 miles away in about an hour.
  • You'll find a rental car facility at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport where you can pick up your car from various rental companies such as Avis, Dollar, and Enterprise. The consolidated rental car facility is located at the west end of the terminal. Use the escalator, the station where you’ll board the ATL SkyTrain that’ll take you directly to the facility about 1.5 miles from the airport terminal.
  • While driving with your McDonough rental car, be wary of jaywalkers as some roads may not have crosswalks available. The law allows pedestrians to jaywalk as long as they yield to traffic, so as a new driver in the city, be careful. During the winter season, it's not uncommon for roads to freeze following snow, so be prepared with a four-wheel-drive to avoid accidents if you intend to visit McDonough in winter. You may also encounter flash floods during the rainy season.
  • There’s not much traffic on most of the city roads in McDonough. However, the 1-75 is one of the most notorious routes for traffic jams. The morning rush hours in McDonough span from 6am to 8am. Traffic picks up again from 9am to 10am, but after that is going to be smooth sailing. The evening commute goes from 4pm to 7pm, so if you need to travel during those times, it may be better to grab a bite as you wait then commute after 7pm. These commutes could take longer if there’s an accident or ongoing construction.

Cons:

Made an appointment for 11, I arrived at 10:35. To help speed things up before I arrived I prepaid and checked in prior to. The guy at the desk was friendly and fast. His attitude was pleasant despite the fact he was alone with a lobby full of unhappy customers. After 3 hours of waiting, which made me super late for work, I finally got the car. I didn’t bother to look for scratches, dents, or dings.. I grab the keys and left. Chances of me using this location again... slim to none.
