KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fairmont

  • If you visit West Virginia, you will always be right by getting Fairmont car rentals to help you move across the city and other locations. Unlike commuter buses and trains, which do not guarantee comfort, car rentals in Fairmont win out when it comes to convenience and affordability. You will spend less on Fairmont car rentals, more so if you stay in the city for long. You can drive to Coal Miner Monument, Valley Falls State Park, Marion County Historical Society, Priscketts Fort State Park, Sunset Beac Morina, and Marion County Trail.
  • Among the airports serving Fairmont, Clarksburg Benedum Airport (CKB) is the nearest, about 15 miles from the city center. If you are flying into the city, you will likely land here. Take advantage of the many car rental agencies at the airport to get your car rental in Fairmont. Renting your car at the airport lets you begin your adventure right after landing. The rental counters are near the Baggage Claim area. Popular agencies include Sunnycars, Easirent, Hertz, National, Enterprise, and Budget.
  • As a small suburban city in West Virginia, finding tiny streets and narrow roads in Fairmont is unsurprising.

Drive cautiously when approaching. Bikers are permitted to ride in the same lines as motorists. Unfortunately, they occasionally overlook traffic regulations and may overlap. Pay attention when overtaking and approaching them. Also, watch out for jaywalking. Although it’s uncommon for pedestrians to jaywalk, taking caution is critical.
  • Significant cities in West Virginia experience significant bumper-to-bumper traffic during peak travel hours, Fairmont is no exception. The traffic snarl-ups in the city are due to several locals and tourists accessing the town center with private vehicles. The traffic is usually occasioned by vehicles and motorbikes jockeying for position, leading to dense traffic. Usually, rush hours in the city start from 6 am to 10 am and from 4 pm to 7 pm. Endeavor to avoid driving your car rentals in Fairmont during peak travel times.
