KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Elizabethtown

  • A car rental in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, can provide several advantages for your visit to the area. Elizabethtown and its vicinity offer various attractions, such as the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park, Swope's Cars of Yesteryear Museum, and Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, which are not easily accessible by public transportation. Your Elizabethtown car rental allows you to easily access these attractions, including those outside the city center or nearby towns. Still, if you have luggage or plan to indulge in shopping during your visit, a rental car provides the convenience of ample storage space.
  • If you are arriving in Elizabethtown by air, remember that Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) is the closest airport, about 34.8 miles away. The airport hosts several major car rental companies, which typically have counters located in the Car Rental Center near the terminal building, making it convenient to find an Elizabethtown car rental. After arriving at Louisville Airport, you can follow the signs or ask airport staff for directions to the Car Rental Center, where you can find various options for being able to drive a car rental in Elizabethtown.
  • Most roads in Elizabethtown are well-maintained and in good condition. However, it's always a good idea to remain attentive to road signs and be cautious of occasional potholes or construction areas that may require reduced speeds or lane changes while behind the wheel of your car rental in Elizabethtown. In addition, Elizabethtown has areas with pedestrian and cyclist activity, particularly in downtown or near popular attractions. Stay vigilant in your Elizabethtown car rental and be mindful of sharing the road with pedestrians and cyclists, giving them adequate space and yielding when necessary.
  • Certain roads and intersections in Elizabethtown may experience localized congestion during peak commuting hours or special events. For example, US-31W and US-62, major roads in the area, can experience increased traffic volume during these times. Usually, traffic snarl-up occurs on weekdays from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. These can make driving an Elizabethtown car rental more challenging than at other times of the day.
