Top tips for renting a car in College Park
- While public transportation or rideshare services are available in College Park, College Park car rentals offer several advantages. Car rentals in College Park provide flexibility and convenience, allowing you to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace and schedule. Unlike alternative transport options, car renting lets you visit off-the-beaten-path destinations and easily access attractions outside the city limits. With a car, you can conveniently explore popular sites like the Georgia Aquarium, Centennial Olympic Park, and the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site.
- When you arrive in College Park, you'll land into Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL). The airport houses several car rental agencies where you can obtain a rental car. The rental car offices are at the Rental Car Center, a separate facility from the airport terminals. The Rental Car Center can be accessed by taking the free ATL SkyTrain, which operates 24/7 and connects all airport terminals with the Rental Car Center. Follow the signs to the SkyTrain station within the airport and board the train to reach the Rental Car Center efficiently.
- When driving car rentals in College Park, be mindful of the speed limits and traffic regulations, as law enforcement is active in the area. Pedestrian activity is relatively common, particularly near the downtown area and around educational institutions, so exercising caution and looking out for pedestrians is crucial. The presence of numerous intersections and busy urban areas may require extra caution and attentiveness while navigating the city. Familiarizing yourself with the local traffic patterns and staying attentive while driving will help ensure a safe and smooth driving experience in College Park.
- Driving car rentals in College Park can be challenging due to heavy traffic congestion during peak hours, particularly around major roadways. College Park's rush hour occurs during weekday morning and evening commuting times. Morning rush hour commonly occurs between 7 am and 9 am when people travel to work or school. Evening rush hour typically occurs between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm when people return home. The high volume of vehicles during this rush hour can result in slower speeds and potential delays. One of the most affected roads is Interstate 285, especially in the sections around the exits for Camp Creek Parkway (Exit 2) and Old National Highway (Exit 62).

I was charged a drop fee (rented at ATL, dropped at STL as per the contract). The rental was not supposed to include a drop fee, but my credit card shows an almost $600 charge for what was supposed to be a $200 rental. I expect a refund of the drop fee. Thank you. -c.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:

I still have not got my refund for my deposit of $300.00 4 days after I returned the vehicle, and budget airlines does not have anyone I can speak to on this. So at this point, after calling over 6 times and not being able to get anyone, I’m going to escalate the hell out of this until budget Car Rental refunds me my deposit of $300.00.2.0 Poor
Apr 2021
Pros:
nothing to like. horrible service, gross car, huge van instead of compact, so much wrong with this experience. at least we got a carseat we requested for the toddler, that's the only thing that didn't go absolutely wrong.Cons:
I waited for 6.5 hours after my scheduled pickup time, exhausted after an international flight with my family (including a small child), and was eventually given a huge family van instead of the efficiency I requested. It had a gross muffin on the floor, and caramel or something gooey on the center console area. Staff was outrageously rude, and I wasn't the only one waiting for hours. It was such a nightmare. I've never had such a horrible experience with a rental car.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was friendly at first until she stated the vehicle size I purchased weren't returned yet. Normally when a rental company is at fault you receive a updrade but no. I had the option to wait a hour to hour and half or more for full-size car to be returned. Then when I took the option to get smaller car my price difference wasn't given then. I was charged the peice for full size and she would send email to manager for them to try and give price credit. As of now I still haven't received email stating what that refund will be or when given.Cons:
The car smelled first like cigarettes and later as the day grew it smelled like weed. That smell didn't leave the vehicle the entire time I rented it.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The staff was friendly and the drop off was very simple.Cons:
It was very difficult to find the kiosk, and the wait was very long. The car was dirty inside and smelled VERY strongly of smoke. I bought air fresheners and rode with the windows down a lot. The tires were not balanced -- the passenger side were both over 36 and the driver side were at 28/27. I had to put air in the tires twice while I had it.6.0 Okay
