KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Decatur

  • As the city does not have an extensive public transportation system, booking car rentals in Decatur is typically the best way to move throughout the neighborhood. By having access to Decatur car rentals, you will be able to easily go to different neighborhoods and even visit other cities in the larger region. You will also be able to visit different sights that aren’t placed directly in the city center. For instance, there is the Fernbank Forest, which is best reached by car and is around a 20 minute drive from the city center. There is also Deepdene Park, which is around a 15 minute drive from Downtown Decatur.
  • You can always pick up car rentals in Decatur directly from Decatur Airport (DEC), which is a convenient option for anyone flying into the city. Decatur Airport has its own car rental center which can be found in the primary terminal, just a short walk from the baggage claim area. In this center, you will find desks for a few different airlines, including Avis. The fleets are also stored at the airport and are within walking distance of the rental center.
  • Before you operate car rentals in Decatur, you will want to read up on some local traffic laws and various tips for driving in the region. For example, unless it is clearly stated otherwise, you are allowed to make a right-hand turn at a red light after coming to a complete stop. Using a cell phone while driving in the state of Georgia is strictly prohibited, including for phone calls, texting, and data usage.
  • To make sure that you don’t get stuck in traffic, you’ll want to avoid being on the road during rush hour. In general, rush hour takes place between the hours of 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 and 7:00 pm. There are a few different roads that become particularly affected during rush hour, including Highways 78, 154, and 155. It is not uncommon for it to rain in the area, so always make sure to pay extra attention when driving under these conditions.

On freeways or highways, the speed limit may be anywhere between 55 and 70 mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Decatur?

    Within the Decatur city center, you will typically be able to find an ample amount of free parking, including street parking. You can also find plenty of metered spaces that charge rates per hour. For metered spaces, drivers are typically able to pay with coins, cards, or through a smart phone app. If you will need to park for more than two hours, keep in mind that you will need to park in one of the downtown parking decks, rather than a metered space.

The process could have been better, I was at the place early to get the pickup truck that I had confirmed. I was there and they told me that they didn't have a pickup truck available. I needed a pickup truck they did not have one.

Pros:

The two men working at drop off were excellent and had great customer service.

Cons:

The “manager” working at pickup was rude and nasty. The pickup process was not timely. The car wasn’t cleaned and was missing a headlight which they said don’t worry about it is only a fog light so you can’t get a ticket!

Pros:

The staff was super friendly, professional and provided in and out service.

Cons:

The outside of the car was not clean, but the staff offered to get it washed if I had the time to wait. Also, the gas tank was not full and they did not mention it until I came back to the counter - then they told me they already knew. However, my contract indicated the gas was 8/8.

Cons:

The car smelled of cigarette smoke. All the windows were down and I was wearing a face mask, so I didn’t realize until I drove away and took off the mask and rolled the windows up.
