KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Birmingham

  • Get yourself a cheap car rental in Birmingham and explore the rest of Alabama in style. A rented car provides you with a perfect opportunity to enjoy road trips, access various points of interest, or get around downtown anytime you feel like doing so. In this case, you may drive yourself to Birmingham’s McWane Science Center, visit the Birmingham Museum of Art, tour the Ruffner Mountain Nature Center and wind up your day at the Alabama Theater to enjoy shows, classic films, live music, dance, and theatrical performances. All those top attractions are accessible by car rentals since most of them are within the city center.
  • Birmingham, Alabama boasts several locations with car rental agencies. Top on the list is Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) on 5900 Messer Airport Highway. At this car rental location, you will come across car rental agencies such as Budget, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Avis Car Rental, and Alamo Rent-A-Car. Upon your arrival at BHM, proceed to the car rental counter, choose the most appropriate car rental agency, present your identification, and sign the rental agreement. The representative at the counter will provide you with keys and directions to your rented car. Booking cheap car rentals with any of these BHM airport agencies allows you to start exploring the city and its numerous attractions right from the moment you sit behind the steering wheel.
  • Typical of larger cities, Birmingham, Alabama experiences heavy traffic at times. Therefore, you need to avoid getting caught up in a traffic snarl by driving around outside the rush hour. Usually, the rush hours in a city as big as Birmingham start at around 7:00 am and end at 9:00 am. In the evening, the rush hour starts at 4:00 pm and lasts up to 6:30 pm. In this regard, you need to stay away from major highways, and main entry or exit points to save your time. Also, acquaint yourself with the traffic flow lines on your navigation map if you are driving during the commute times. For instance, avoid Red lines since they indicate heavy traffic flow. Instead, choose Yellow/Orange lines for the medium traffic flow or take the Green line to drive within the normal traffic flow.
  • Getting around Birmingham will be easier for you with a rental car, and best of all, you’ll be able to travel on your own schedule. With a rental car in Birmingham, you can easily take trips to towns like Guntersville, a lakeside town about 75 miles north of Birmingham, where you can fish, hike, and do some bird-watching. In your rental car, you'll also want to consider a drive to Talladega County, where you can visit the Talladega Speedway and the Desoto Caverns. The city of Talladega is about a 45-minute drive from the airport and 55 miles from downtown Birmingham.
  • The Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) has its own rental car facility. Here you can rent a car from several different car-rental agencies, including Enterprise, Hertz, and National. To rent a car at the airport, you'll go to the airport's parking deck, which is right beside the taxi, shuttle, and limo pick-up areas. Having only one terminal, the airport is small enough for you to walk there in no time. The Birmingham car rentals at the airport are located in section 1B on the ground level of the parking deck. You will both pick up and return your rental car to this same area of the airport.
  • When driving past construction zones in Alabama, be extra careful. Alabama state law requires motorists to move over to the lane farthest away from the construction worker(s) for added safety. Also, all passengers in the vehicle, front or back, must wear a seat belt at all times.
  • Traffic congestion is not a big problem in Birmingham. This is true even during rush hour. However, if you're driving between 7am and 9am or between 4pm and 7pm, you might want to avoid Interstate 20/59. Also, be aware that during these times, you could experience traffic delays if there is construction or a car accident.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Birmingham for $38 or less
  • Book your rental car in Birmingham at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Birmingham are around 14% cheaper than airport locations on average
  • Full-size rental cars in Birmingham are around 105% more expensive than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Birmingham 
Verified travelerSep 2023
I went to visit a friend in Northport-Tuscaloosa and only picked up and returned the car to get off and on my flights. It would be nice to have a built-in GPS in the cars and that all cars, if possible have a cigarette lighter to plug in their own GPS s like I had to do. I have no smartphone and it would be dangerous for me, as the sole person in the vehicle, to have to look at a Smartphone and map to get to my destination.
SamSep 2023
Traffic was pretty bad going through BHM on I-59/I-20. Try to avoid rush hour. We had a 10 minute delay due to a wreck. Plan for extra time to get through the traffic.
THOMASOct 2023
PICK YOUR CAR UP EARLY!
Verified travelerAug 2023
It is a busy place so be prepared to be flexible and be patient. The employees are very helpful and kind, but I always expect a hiccup or two because of the volume of cars and people flowing in and out of BHM who need rentals.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Try to avoid peak times like 5 p.m. pickup. More traffic is on the road and may be challenging depending on the traffic.

it was fine- would do again but only bc it was the cheapest

FAQs about renting a car in Birmingham

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Birmingham?

    Would you like to enjoy a scenic drive through the back roads and mountains of Alabama while on vacation? If this is your plan, make it more fun and safe by renting an SUV or a car with four-wheel drive to make it easier to drive on gravel roads or rough terrain. Because it’s typically very hot in Alabama during the summer months, you’ll want to rent a standard or intermediate-size car to give everyone room to spread out. Alabama can also get a lot of rain.

Pros:

Drop off was quick but it looked like both the workers at the booth wanted to be anywhere other then there.

Cons:

It took awhile to pick up the car because the front desk was understaffed. The vehicle smelled heavily of smoke the interior driver and passenger side doors where cut up and the seats were stained and filthy. The front windshield had two big chips in it and there were scratches all over the vehicle. Lastly, someone took the floor mats out of the vehicle and never returned them. I will NEVER RENT FROM AVIS AGAIN and I strongly suggest you don’t either.

The Kayak reservation I made was intended to be for pickup at the Birmingham airport. Once at the Hertz counter at the BHM airport after a long wait in line, I was told that the address was another location and I would have to get myself there via taxi/uber. I called to confirm, but they had given away my reserved car and had no more available. I took another hour to rent from the airport Hertz counter at twice the price of my original Kayak reservation. I am very disappointed with both Kayak and Hertz for the miscommunication throughout the process, and will be asking for a refund.

I came to the Hertz location as stipulated in advance. They told me the car would be ready in two hours. I left and came back in two hours. Then, they told me the car doesn’t exist and that I’d have to go to the Pelham office, a 30 minute drive away. I had to pay for an Uber to get there. They then didn’t care about the situation. Completely unacceptable to make a booking and then not have the car at the agrees upon time. No attempt was made to contact me to tell me there was no care despite my existing reservation.

Pick up with amazing super helpful. Though in the end, there was never anything in the car that said Alamo. So when I went to drop off, I couldn’t remember which brand I had used so I had to look that up and at the airport that we dropped off at there was literally no direction and no attendant to help, I think it’s an airport issue, but it was confusing . And then I never received a final invoice via email like they said.

Pros:

Staff both departing and returning were great. Needed Suv and was given as promised

Cons:

The only negative was there were no floor mats or paper sheet covers for the interior floorboard. The place I was going was rural and muddy, so I had to constantly lay down towels or garbage bags to keep the interior floor carpet clean.

Not enough staff working. Waited an hour in line for a rental I had reserved several weeks in advance. Additionally, I was double charge. I am currently working on how to correct this.

Pros:

Pick up and drop off was easy and the staff was friendly and helpful

Cons:

We scheduled our pick up but when we got the it was closed for the night so we had to find a ride to our hotel and a return ride to pick it up the next day. Also the car had been smoked in.
