Top tips for renting a car in Atlantic City
- Booking car rentals in Atlantic City is a nice way to easily travel throughout the area and between neighborhoods. While Atlantic City does have public transportation, such as a few local bus lines, the primary way to move throughout town is by driving. Having access to Atlantic City car rentals will make it easy for you to visit sights that are a bit more removed from the city center, such as the Seaview Golf Club, which is around a 15min drive from downtown. A car will also allow you to go visit the Absecon Creek, a scenic area that is just under a 20min drive from the city center.
- You can always pick up car rentals in Atlantic City directly from Atlantic City International Airport (ACY). Atlantic City International Airport has its own on-site car rental center that can be found in the main Arrivals terminal, just a short walk from the baggage claim. In this center, you will find a few different major rental companies that you can choose from, including Avis, Budget, and Enterprise.
- To be as safe as possible when driving car rentals in Atlantic City, it’s important that you familiarize yourself with some local driving laws and tips. The downtown and boardwalk areas are known for being quite busy and full of pedestrians, so always make sure to pay extra attention when driving here. There are some streets in these areas that are pedestrian only, so you will also want to be cautious when turning onto new streets. As you get closer to the beach, it’s also important to keep in mind that the streets become windier, rather than the grid system that is found in the rest of the city.
- Prevent yourself from getting caught in congestion by avoiding being on the road during rush hour, which is normally between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Atlantic City has a few streets that are known for being particularly busy during these times, including I-76 West and I-30. During the winter months, there will often be snow in the city, and you will want to be extra careful when driving in these conditions. It’s important to check your tires and make sure that you have any necessary equipment for them, such as chains.

Dec 2019
Cons:
Van was barely cleaned. Old food and debris from previous renter under seats and in back. Trash from previous renter in glove box. My rental was a Ford Trasit or similar. I ended up with a Chevy express. There were no Ford Transits. Not one anywhere and I don’t believe there ever was. I called for weeks before my rental pickup to have one allocated and was called the day before to tell me. I don’t believe that if your customer service associates took the time to actually look at a schedule, I could’ve been notified and I would’ve made other plans. I was transporting elderly people, the Transit’s configuration made it a lot easier for us and comfortable for them.4.4 Mediocre
Aug 2019
Pros:
The employees were niceCons:
They could have had the car I reserved instead of only having SUVs which I didn’t want but was forced to take. They could have cleaned the vehicle which they clearly hadn’t as it was covered in bird poop on the outside and had trash on the inside. It also had a big dent in the hood.7.2 Good

Feb 2017
Pros:
Friendly staff in Atlanta.Cons:
Went through three cars on pickup. First shelled of cigarette smoke and had 3/4 tank of gas. Second had 7/8. This was full. 30k miles on odo, loose steering, and an intermittent tire pressure light. Very clean, however.5.6 Fair
Oct 2016
Cons:
Someone treated the dash board with a high gloss coating, like Armorall. As a result there was dangerous glare in the windshield. Full coverage insurance was a rip off, over $9000 per year. I will not rent from Avis again.Hertz

Jan 2019
Cons:
When we dropped off our rental yesterday, there was a new Hertz employee (Mateo) standing at the counter who was very polite, but he said he was new to Hertz and didn’t know how to check in vehicles for returns and all he does is clean the vehicles so we would need to wait for the other woman working to return from Wawa in order to check in our rental car to get a receipt. We sat and waited 30 minutes for the other Hertz employee to return to the Hertz desk at ACY from Wawa. When she finally returned from Wawa, she was rude and unapologetic that no one was at the Hertz desk who could check in or out cars. Mateo was at the Hertz desk but said he was a new Hertz employee and all he was allowed to do was to clean the cars once they were checked in. When the other woman finally returned from Wawa after leaving us and others standing at the Hertz counter in ACY for 30 minutes she finally checked in our vehicle and ended up charging us for an extra hour for the rental which is ridiculous, since the late check in was caused by her leaving her post to go to Wawa for 30 minutes. If she was there at the Hertz counter to check in our vehicle when we arrived then our vehicle would not have been late. When i told her it was ridiculous to leave her post for 30 minutes at Hertz with no backup to check in or out vehicles, she was rude and said it wasn’t her fault. She proceeded to charge us for an extra hour for our rental and told us to take it up with corporate if we didn’t like it. We almost missed our flight because of this woman leaving her post at Hertz in ACY and Hertz not having any other backup person on duty who could check in or out cars. Horrible customer service! This woman was rude and unhelpful! Not the level of politeness, attention to detail, appropriate staffing levels and customer service i would expect from Hertz.8.8 Very good
