Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Tallahassee
- Tallahassee SUV rentals offer numerous advantages for visitors exploring this vibrant city. With its diverse terrain and natural beauty, an SUV provides the perfect vehicle to explore Tallahassee's nearby outdoor attractions, such as the Apalachicola National Forest, Lake Talquin State Park, and the St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge. SUVs also offer ample cargo space, making them ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and groups traveling with sports equipment or luggage. Tallahassee's unpredictable weather, including occasional rain, makes an SUV a practical choice, providing stability and safety on the road.
- The primary airport serving Tallahassee is Tallahassee International Airport (TLH), conveniently located just 4 miles southwest of downtown Tallahassee. At TLH, you can easily find car rental desks within the terminal building. Rental car companies like Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, and National have their counters in the baggage claim area, allowing travelers to rent an SUV directly upon arrival. This accessibility makes it convenient for visitors to pick up their SUV rentals at the airport and start their journey through Tallahassee and the surrounding areas with ease.
- Driving Tallahassee SUV rentals offer a relatively smooth experience. The city's roads are generally well-maintained, providing a comfortable ride. However, it's essential to be cautious of cyclists, especially in and around the downtown area, where bike lanes are common. Tallahassee drivers are typically courteous and follow road rules, but like any city, there may be some aggressive driving tendencies during rush hours. Florida's mild climate often means clear roads, but occasional heavy rain can make driving conditions slippery.
- Navigating Tallahassee SUV rentals comes with its challenges. The city experiences peak traffic during rush hours, mainly from 7 to 9 am and 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Busy roads like Monroe Street and Apalachee Parkway can get congested during these times. Additionally, the spring semester brings increased traffic around Florida State University and Florida A&M University, and peak tourism season, which coincides with Florida's pleasant winter months (December to March), can also result in crowded roads. While Tallahassee's traffic is generally manageable compared to larger cities.

May 2017
Pros:
They said they would refund the cab ride from and to the airport with proper receipts, and they did.Cons:
My plane was late and I am not from where I needed the car. I was told the system was down for maintenance (at 11 pm?) and they would not be able to give me a car - they did not expect the system to come back up for 3 hours. In other words, I had to find my own way to my hotel and back again the next day to pick up the car once the system was up. No company runs maintenance at that hour! The guy behind the desk was, in my opinion, a bit too glib about the situation and offered no help. I was quite disturbed by his attitude! It was not easy to find a cab at that hour.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I reserved a car and when I got there they informed me that they were all out of cars. I started getting upset cause it took me an hour to get there and the guy asked if I would be ok with a mini van. I said ok and figured I was gonna end up paying 3 times more. They apologized for the inconvience and discounted the entire thing so I paid the same price for the car. They had really great customer service.Cons:

Apr 2018
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
When we arrived, on time, at 7:00 pm there was no one in the Thrifty booth. A sign referred us to the Avis booth. The Avis clerk told us that Thrifty had given our car to someone else. It would take a while to get another one. One and 45 minutes later we cancelled the reservation by phone and rented from Budget. They had us on the road within 20 minutes. The service person at Budget was personable and very helpful. We got the Budget rental for $200.00 less than the Thrifty rental. Perhaps they need to change their name. They definitely need to learn what the word "service" means. I'll NEVER go to Thrifty again.10.0 Wonderful

When I picked up the car, it didn't have a full tank of gas. The needle was clearly below the full mark. I was headed to Costco in preparation for my drive on the next day and the tank took over five dollars of gas. Gas that day was $1.70/gallon. That is not a full tank in anyone's book. Otherwise everything else was great.6.4 Okay

Pros:
Car was very clean and in great shape.Cons:
The first car I was given was an SUV that I was not expecting as I preferred a sedan. In addition, this car had flat tire that forced me to return to the rental station after leaving to exchange. I was not happy having to walk back and forth from the lot with my belongings twice in rain.10.0 Wonderful
