KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Elizabeth City

  • Elizabeth City car rentals are the most affordable and flexible way for you to explore everything this North Carolina town has to offer. Located right on the Albemarle Sound, this smaller town offers plenty of outdoor fun. While ICTPA buses are free in Elizabeth City, they run on fixed schedules and some areas of town are hard to access. As a result, you will want your car rentals in Elizabeth City to help you navigate to places like the Museum of the Albemarle or the Waterfront Park. A car rental will give you the freedom and independence to explore the town at your own pace.
  • If you are flying into Elizabeth City, North Carolina, you will most likely be landing at the airport in Norfolk, Virginia (ORF), about 55 miles away. You can pick up car rentals in Elizabeth City directly from this airport. The desks for several car rental agencies, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, National, and Hertz, are in the arrivals terminal on Level 1. Their desks are open from 4:30 am until the last flight of the night lands, so there is no need to worry about operating hours if your flight is delayed.
  • Driving in Elizabeth City is pretty easy. All main roads are paved and are generally in good condition. You may occasionally encounter dirt or gravel roads as you get closer to the water. Motorists generally follow the rules of the road and don’t drive very recklessly. Since this is a city with a lot of outdoor activity, though, you will want to keep your eye out for pedestrians and cyclists.
  • Elizabeth City, like many other cities in North Carolina, experiences morning and evening rush hours that can make driving in the city a bit difficult. Try to avoid the main roads, such as State Route 17 and State Route 158, between the hours of 7 am and 9 am and again between the hours of 5 pm and 7 pm. In addition, since this city is so close to the Atlantic coast, the city can sometimes be affected by heavy rains during hurricane season. It is essential to check the weather forecast before setting out in your Elizabeth City car rentals.

  • What are the best places to park in Elizabeth City?

    Parking in Elizabeth City is pretty plentiful, so you won’t have any issues parking your car rental here. Even better, a lot of the parking is free.

No, they took my business for granted, were not helpful, and did not seem to even care. They seems to be more concerned about payments and upselling worthless add-ons.

Pros:

The price.

Cons:

Office space is very shabby and dirty. Car smelled strongly of air fresheners and the high touch surfaces didn't seem to have been cleaned well. I think I somehow lucked out with not too much trouble but I won't be trying my luck at this Hertz again.
