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.

Feb 2020
Cons:
The enterprise that the rental was booked through, did not have the reservation and then proceeded to try and put us in a smaller vehicle for more money. Told us they didn’t have have a similar vehicle to what was reserved and good luck finding one. Will never use them or Kayak again.9.6 Wonderful
Sep 2018
Pros:
The saleswoman was very professional and nice. She gave us a nice, clean, new car and worked us through the controls before we drove away. I’ve never had that experience before when renting a car at the airport. Overall, it was a great experience!Cons:
The saleswoman tried very hard to talk me into taking the insurance on the car because the street in front of the rental office was under construction and she acted like I was going to get into an accident pulling out of there. First of all, the car she gave me was similar to the car I drive at home and second of all, I’m not stupid. I took it anyway because she was too pushy about it and made me uncomfortable.10.0 Wonderful

5.6 Fair
Apr 2018
Pros:
The price I paid overall was a fair price for the size vehicle and length of time I had itCons:
I did appreciate the way the manager treated me at checkout when I asked if there was a different vehicle available because I wasn't fond of a Kia. From that point on, the manager had a huge attitude issue and made it plain that she wished I wasn't there. The car i was given was dirty on the inside, it was supposed to have been cleaned before I got it but the cup holders were nasty, the center console area was disgusting, back seat cup holders had food in them and was sticky, the windows were nasty, ect. I had to put air in the right rear tire after getting it because the alarms started going off. When I returned the car, I informed them I had to air the tire up and they didn't act like they much cared about it.2.0 Poor

after booking my car rental on line I went to pick it up. I was told after I got there I could not rent it with a debit card but the amount was taken out of my account, They said it would take 5 to 7 days to be put back into my account. Enterprize let me rent one with a debit card.I will never use Hertz again. Not everyone has a credit card and they would not take cash.6.0 Okay
