KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dalton
- There are several advantages to renting cheap car rentals in Dalton. For example, Dalton car rentals offer a greater level of convenience and flexibility when exploring the surrounding areas. Dalton is known for its beautiful natural attractions such as the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, the Cohutta Wilderness, and Fort Mountain State Park. These stunning locations are best accessed by car as public transportation options may be limited or nonexistent.
- Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) is 99 miles from Dalton. You can pick up Dalton car rentals at the Rental Car Center at ATL which is a separate facility about five minutes from the main terminal. There is a free shuttle available 24/7 to take passengers to and from the Rental Car Center. The shuttles pick up at the terminal building from the lower level curbside. Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) is about 130 miles from Dalton. The car rental companies at TYS airport are located across from the baggage claim area on the main terminal's lower level. Passengers can take a short walk across the street from the terminal to get to the rental car buildings.
- Dalton has a significant number of trucks on the roads due to its textile and carpet manufacturing industries, so you should be cautious when driving cheap car rentals in Dalton and keep a safe distance from these vehicles. The city is situated in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, so some of the roads can be hilly and curvy, requiring a bit more caution and slower speeds. The city also has a hands-free driving law, meaning that using a phone or other electronic device while driving is prohibited.
- One of the main difficulties that drivers might face when driving cheap car rentals in Dalton is traffic during rush hour. Peak traffic times are usually during weekday mornings from 7:30 am to 9 am and weekday afternoons from 4 pm to 6 pm. During these times, roads such as the Dalton Bypass (Highway 76), Highway 41, and Highway 71 may experience heavy congestion and delays. During the spring and fall, there may be high levels of rainfall which can lead to slippery road conditions. The summer months can also bring high temperatures, which can sometimes cause overheating in cars.

Apr 2021
Cons:
The vehicle wasn’t cleaned and didn’t have any gas, so we had to switch to another, but same sized. Long line at check in, had to wait over 30 minutes and then spent another 20 minutes or so with the associate. The associates were great though. Wished the car had an entertainment package for the money. Will rent there again.6.8 Okay
Sep 2020
Pros:
The pickup was easy, but the drop off was like, "ok, thank you, have a good day"Cons:
I wish the drop off would have been just as good as the pickup. Also allow others to smell the inside of the car before they sign.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Allowed a oneway drop off at Knoxville when travel plans had to change.Cons:
The enterprise location made me take a $17 dollar taxi to the second location located a very short distance from airport. It was my mistake in original booking but they made no effort to assist me other than informing me that I was at the "wrong" location.2.0 Poor
