KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Covington

  • Car rentals in Covington have several benefits compared to public transportation. Covington car rentals offer enhanced comfort and flexibility when exploring the city. With a car rental in Covington, you can travel to your preferred attractions, including those in remote areas, at your pace. Renting a car also offers convenience in accessing various locations in the city without relying on the public transportation schedule, which may be limited. With a Covington car rental, you can quickly drive to multiple attractions in the city, including Devou Park, Roebling Suspension Bridge, the Ohio River Scenic Byway, Cincinnati Observatory, and Mary M. Emery Hall.
  • If you want to rent a car at an airport in Covington, you can either rent at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), about 11 miles from Covington, or Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport (LUK), approximately 8 miles from the city center. The car rentals in Covington at CVG are located in a rental facility separate from the airport terminal, accessible by shuttle buses from the baggage claim area. LUK has a limited number of rental companies with counters inside the terminal building at the Arrivals Hall. To complete the rental process at the car rentals in Covington, ensure you have a valid driver’s license, a credit or debit card, and identification documents.
  • Covington has historic streets, some of which are narrow. Ensure you drive carefully on these streets and yield to oncoming vehicles. The city is bicycle friendly, therefore, be prepared to share the road with cyclists and give them enough space when passing. Ensure you watch for bike lanes when driving car rentals in Covington. Covington also has many one-way streets around the city, therefore, ensure you pay attention to signage to navigate the one-way roads correctly.
  • Driving in car rentals in Covington is generally smooth; however, you may encounter some difficulties during certain times of the day. The city experiences rush hours between 7:30 am and 9:00 am and in the evening from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm when most residents commute to and from work. Certain roads, including Interstates 71, 75, and 275, and Dixie Highway, may experience heavier rush-hour traffic. Therefore, avoid driving your Covington car rental during those hours or find alternative routes to avoid delays. You may also experience more traffic during peak tourism seasons, especially in summer, during weekends, and near attractions like the riverfront and MainStrasse Village, which may slow driving.

One of the attendants at the enterprise office in Cincinnati turned me away saying he wouldn’t honor my reservation bc it was same day and an online reservation in addition inconvenient bc it’s one way. I was stranded. I’d taken an uber from the airport and it was close to end of day. Another attendant then helped me out and went out of his way to be supportive and got me a car. The first guy was a jerk just for the sake of it. No customer service capacity.

Never got the car that was reserved. Called a few days before to make sure the van was available and they said it wasn’t and that the district manager would call to make accommodations. Never received a call. Very disappointed.

It was the worst rental we have ever experienced. The vehicle was filthy (human and animal hair and it does not appear to have been washed on the outside either). The guy said there was not another car and they had a new person 'cleaning'. The key battery was dead and he told me they had replaced it and it would take a bit to re-set. Then I drove away and the oil change light came on. We went to another nearby Hertz location and did get the service we should have from the beginning. The downtown Cincinnati location should not even be in business.

Hertz in Cincinnati was great! Hertz in Chattanooga where I returned the vehicle was terrible. The lock box to return the key after hours was just completely open and anyone could have taken the keys. The gate to the parking lot was locked, and they were closed earlier than their posted hours online. I found a worker and was able to return my key to them, but they failed to document that it was returned and over a week later I still have the hold and additional charges being charged to my account and Hertz Corporate is having to contact them to confirm since they failed to close out the transaction properly.
