KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Anderson
- When visiting Anderson for a stay, renting a car is the best way to explore its culture and natural beauty. Car rentals in Anderson provide the convenience of visiting places inaccessible by public transport buses. Additionally, it gives you peace of mind knowing that you don't rely on third-party transportation service providers to get to your destinations. Furthermore, Anderson has multiple tourist attractions, including Anderson Arts Center, Denver Downs Farm, Lake Hartwell, Anderson County Museum, and Old Depot Mall. Alternatively, you can visit Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, 25 miles from the city center and arrive there in about 20 minutes via car.
- If you're flying to Anderson, you'll likely land at Greenville Airport (GSP), 28.9 miles from the city center. Take advantage of the many car rental agencies to get your car rentals in Anderson. The benefits of renting a car from the airport locations are that you have a wide selection of rental agencies and can rent a car at an affordable cost. At GSP, the car rental desks are located at the airport terminal—the companies to expect include Alamo, Hertz, Thrifty, Avis, National, and Budget.
- Driving your car rental in Anderson should be manageable due to its well-established roads. However, you should be mindful of some things when driving your Anderson car rentals. Things that deserve your attention include jaywalkers. Despite being outlawed, pedestrians crossing the roads without signaling is still a concern. Again, motorbikes use the same lanes as vehicles. Often, riders disregard traffic light rules, posing serious driving challenges. Pay attention, especially when approaching and overtaking them. Adhere to speed limits and slow down when approaching build-up areas and roundabouts.
- Like other cities in South Carolina, Anderson experiences dense traffic, especially during rush hours. Typically, during weekdays rush hours begin from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Avoid driving your Anderson car rentals during these hours because you don't want to experience the traffic snarl-ups. If you must travel during these hours, avoid populated areas like commuter areas and narrow streets because they are brimming with cars and human traffic. Endeavor to access I-85, the only freeway in the city.

4.8 Mediocre
Dec 2019
Pros:
7 passenger van was easy to drive & blind spot aids were A+. Vehicle was very clean. Owner's overview manual was in glove compartment!!!!! Lots of controls on steering wheel and in unusual places, so manual was helpful.Cons:
The van was delivered 5 hours late! This was a major problem as we had to pick up additional drivers an hour away - their local office had closed, the airport counter could not add them, so we had to take a detour to find an office to add them. And we were not advised the extra fee was $13.95 per day per drier! 2 rear seatbelts did not buckle & one 2nd row seat did not adjust back making for an uncomfortable & less safe ride.2.0 Poor

Cons:
I will never rent from them again!!!!!!!8.0 Very good
Aug 2017
Pros:
Car was fine. It no GPS.Cons:
Picked up car and a very stressed and grumpy regional manager gave us our car. He complained about new employees, electricity outage, problems with the printer and that making everything stressful. Wasn't a pleasant beginning to our car adventure dealing with someone who was so grumpy and didn't smile. After driving we noticed there was a lot of hair on the back ledge behind passenger seats.9.2 Wonderful

Jun 2017
Cons:
Extra charges because the driver was not the name on the card even though I rented it in his name. Poor service because I didn't use their damage waiver since I bought insurance through Kayak10.0 Wonderful
Jun 2017
Pros:
The car was ready when I arrived. I rented the car through Kayak and only paid $174 for 6 days with unlimited mileage. Drop off was quick and since I was able to leave my car there I was on my way home without having to get a ride.Budget

Nov 2015
Pros:
The car performed fine other than the odor. The delivery person was pleasant. The convenience of dropping the car at the airport was very nice.Cons:
The delivery of the car was slower than I would have expected. Was told 15 minutes and it was closer to 30. I was late to my appointment. The car had an awful smell of black cherry and cigarettes- we had to make the trip with the windows down. Noticed my credit card was charged 45.49 versus my Kayak receipt of 41.06. Had to call Enterprise. Their first response was that it was a road side assistance charge(that I did not agree to). I told them that sounds like a scam. They put me on hold then they agreed to take the charge off.Avis
