The number of people and your baggage are the main determinants of the type of car you should rent from your preferred car rentals in Chapel Hill. An economy rental car will be an ideal type of car you should consider reserving if you will be driving in the city alone with one or two bags. On the other hand, if you intend to travel with three or four individuals and you have more than three pieces of baggage, an SUV car will be a suitable option for you. The destination you intend to visit while in Chapel Hill also determines the type of car you should rent. For instance, an intermediate SUV will be a good car option for you if you will be driving to off-road destinations.
The speed limits vary slightly on different roads, depending on their locations. For roads within the school zone, you need to observe a speed limit of 20 mph. If you are on other roads outside the school zone but within the city center, you have to observe a speed limit of 25 mph. The speed limit increases to between 55 mph and 70 mph on highways. With speed cameras at all major intersections, you need to keep an eye on the speed limits to avoid getting yourself on the wrong side of the traffic laws.
Consider parking outside Chapel Hill city center because the number of parking lots in the center is fewer, making it difficult and costlier. The UNC Chapel Hill offers both gated Campus parking lots and non-gated campus parking lots at different rates. If you choose the gated-campus parking lot option, you will have to part with around $7 per day. On the other hand, you will part with around $5 per day if you use the non-gated campus parking lot.

Pros:
The Chapel Hill desk employee was very courteous and friendly. He was careful about checking the car over before I left. The car's electronics included Android Auto, which allowed my phone's functions, including navigation, to be displayed on the car's entertainment screen. Great!!2.0 Poor

jeff, May 2021
Pros:
Nothing. No rental happened.Cons:
I came to get my rental and they had given my car (the last car on the lot) away! I was within the hour. There was NO notice that the timing would be any issue (they waited 30m and i was there 40m after the hour). I could not get my rental in a time I needed. I am extremely angry and disappointed at their behavior and the fact that none of that information was shared. Unacceptable on multiple fronts. This place should not be allowed to give out reservations that they cannot back up.8.0 Very good
