KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Wake Forest
- There are numerous advantages to opting for a car rental in Wake Forest, North Carolina. You can first take advantage of flexibility and independence by making stops where you like. Second, you can use a vehicle to travel to locations within and outside of this city. For instance, you may travel to the American Village, which is around 29 miles away from the city center and have meals and drinks there. North Carolina Museum of Arts, which is approximately 26 minutes drive from the city center, is another location well worth driving to with your Wake Forest car rental.
- You can rent a car at Raleigh Durham Airport (RDU), which is located around 25 miles from Raleigh. The onsite parking lot houses the car rental counters for the airport's convenient on-site rental car facilities. Alamo, Hertz, Payless, National, Dollar, Budget, and Advantage are a few of the Wake Forest car rental firms with locations right at the airport. We advise checking ahead of time because the rules for hiring a car may vary between car rental providers. In general, you can be asked to show a valid driver's license and a credit card with your name on it. In Wake Forest, you can also rent a car from off-site locations, which may be less expensive.
- Like many other streets, wake Forest has a cycling trail, street barriers, and walkways for pedestrians. To guarantee the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, you should use caution when driving a rental car in Wake Forest. Again, even though jaywalking is forbidden on most city streets, including at crossroads with pedestrian crossings, some pedestrians may object to this law. Don't go over the posted speed limit at these intersections. However, Wake Forest enforces municipal laws to stop people from jaywalking.
- Vehicle congestion is a general problem in the city, but key roads and intersections have quite heavy traffic, especially during rush hours. Some of the city's main thoroughfares are South Main Street, Ligon Mill Road, Glenwood Avenue, and Carroll Weathers Drive. If you don't want to be caught in traffic, make sure to stay away from these regions during peak times. These peak times usually begin from 6 am to 10 am in the morning and later in the evening from 4 pm to 6 pm. Similar difficulties can arise while driving in Wake Forest during the winter. Therefore, you should exercise caution when driving near crossroads, bridges, shady places, and ramps because these locations are prone to icing. So, choose a rental car in Wake Forest that has winter tires to have a smooth drive despite icy conditions.
