KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bardstown

  • Choosing to use car rentals in Bardstown has several advantages over using public transportation. Renting a car will give you the flexibility that public transportation systems lack as they follow preset routes and rigid schedules. With a rental car, you can easily transport your luggage, and you’ll also have privacy as public transportation can often get crowded and uncomfortable, especially during long commutes. Some attractions in Bardstown that you can visit using your rental car include McIntyre's Winery & Berries and Old Bardstown Village Civil War Museum.
  • Louisville International Airport (SDF) and Lexington Blue Grass Airport (LEX) are some of the airports that serve Bardstown. Louisville Airport has on-site rental car counters. After arriving at the airport, head to the baggage claim area where you’ll find various car rental desks and counters. The rental cars are parked at the airport’s rental car garage which is only a short walk from the baggage claim area. At Lexington Blue Grass Airport, the rental car center is at the baggage claim section found on Level 1 of the airport’s terminal.
  • Knowing the driving culture and road conditions in Bardstown is essential if you are opting to use car rentals in Bardstown. Drivers in this city are generally well-mannered and patient, and tend to follow traffic regulations and drive within the speed limits. The roads in Bardstown are paved, in good condition, and maintained. Always keep watch and drive carefully as cyclists are common on Bardstown streets. Pedestrians are also often on the streets, and caution is necessary at intersections and near crosswalks.
  • Knowing that rush hours in Bardstown typically occur between 7 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 6 pm is necessary before using car rentals in Bardstown. Some roads can get crowded and full of traffic during these rush hours as locals make their commutes, especially on weekdays. Roads in Bardstown that are mostly affected by these traffic jams and congestion include Bardstown Road, a major road in the city, and Ky Route 245 which passes through the town and joins U.S Route 150.

Pros:

The value & staff. They worked hard to give us a clean vehicle.

Cons:

We had a group of high school students we were transporting and the van had the slightest odor of marijuana. We would have returned it, but there no other vans and we really needed the bigger vehicle.

Cons:

This location is too small for the volume of business they do. The facility needs to be enlarged and/or updated. That being said; the employees are friendly; you are offered water while you wait and they explain your charges. Overall a huge win if saving money is what you want to do.

Pros:

Got a great rate by renting the car several weeks ahead and paid at the time of rental. Car ran great but was a bit smaller than we anticipated but was fine for our needs.

Cons:

Check in and Drop off were both much longer than I anticipated. Each agent I dealt with were very nice and knew their stuff, but it was just a very slow process to get the car - much slower than I usually have when I rent. The agent really tried to sell the insurance - probably asked us 5 times.
