KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Alpharetta
- In Alpharetta car rentals, you can explore some famous and historical cities in Georgia and beyond. You can drive south into the heart of Atlanta, east to Athens, and southeast to the eastern shores of Savannah. You can drive northwest to Nashville, Tennessee, the country music capital of the world, in about 4 hours and 25 minutes. If you want to get away from it all for a weekend or a day, Lake Lanier is less than an hour away, and to the northwest, Lake Allatoona offers State Parks, ferries to the many islands, and campgrounds.
- If you will be visiting or you are from the less urban parts of Alpharetta, such as the vicinity of Lake Windward or the Alpharetta Woods, you might not want to deal with the hustle and bustle of traffic as you get closer to Atlanta. If this is the case, opt for the Alpharetta car rentals located north of route 120, or State Bridge Road, where you will have to deal with less Atlanta traffic.
- A common rule of the road familiar to most American drivers is Drive on the Right, Pass on the Left. However, following this rule does not work at all when driving Alpharetta car rentals through the adjacent city Atlanta, where right lanes are almost always exit only. As a result, if you drive in the right lane, you will either constantly be exiting or suddenly changing lanes to the left, possibly cutting off other drivers. Keep this in mind if you tend to drive in the right lane.
- The Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta is a great place to stay if you want to be under a 30min drive from the main city, but away from the hustle and bustle. Because the suburb is not directly served by Atlanta’s MARTA trains but only a few bus routes, a car rental in Alpharetta is one of your best options for getting around. Check out the numerous Alpharetta Arboretum at either Cogburn Road Park or Wills Park or the Alpharetta Farmers Market held every Saturday from 8am to 12:30pm from April to October. Get a sense of the area’s 19th-century history at the Mansell House and Gardens or the Milton Log Cabin. Be sure to catch an outdoor concert in summer at the Ameris Bank Amphitheater or an Alpharetta Bulls Rugby Football Club game. Finally, pay tribute to the Georgian veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces from World War II at the Walk of Memories. All of this can be easily done thanks to a rental car.
- If you’re planning to fly to Alpharetta, pick up your car rental at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport. Once you have retrieved your luggage simply follow the signs for the Rental Car Center. Head west out of the terminal to reach the escalator that’ll take you to board the ATL SkyTrain. A 5-minute ride will take you two stops to the Rental Car Center. During busy moments at the airport, wait times can be up to 15min.
- Pedestrians and cyclists are common around the Alpha Loop and the Big Creek Greenway, which runs from Winward Parkway up to Mansell Road. Drive cautiously around these roads as you may be sharing the road with cyclists and pedestrians may suddenly step out into the road. The city is mainly served by State Routes 9, 120, 140, 372, and 400, as well as U.S. Route 19.
- The main rush hour is during the commute from Alpharetta to Atlanta in the morning and then in the returning direction in the evening along Highway 400. Rush hour starts as early as 6:30am, lasting until 10am, and then starts up at 3:30pm, lasting until 7pm. Alpharetta receives some snowfall in the winter months, so be sure to practice safe driving practices in your Alpharetta car rental when it snows.
