Top tips for renting a car in Fayetteville
- After scoring a deal on cheap car rentals in Fayetteville, keep in mind that it is illegal to text and drive in North Carolina. Although there are no laws prohibiting drivers from talking on a cell phone while driving, it is always safest to mount your device somewhere convenient in the car and use the voice controls while behind the wheel. Many Fayetteville car rentals come equipped with an integrated navigation system, which makes getting around town easy and safe. Always check to see if a hands-free navigation system is an option when making your rental car reservation.
- Expect added traffic in the areas surrounding Fayetteville’s Segra Stadium when the local minor league baseball team, the Woodpeckers, are playing. Starting in April and throughout the summer, parts of Hay Street are closed to vehicle traffic one hour before the games begin, and parking is not allowed in the temporary pedestrian zone. The same downtown area also hosts the 4th Friday arts and cultural event on the 4th Friday of the month, 6 pm – 10 pm, from March through November. Watch out for extra pedestrian traffic these days. Paid parking for the games (as well as for other large downtown events during the year) is available in the 12 downtown parking lots. On-street parking is free on weekends, even during the Woodpeckers games and large downtown events.
- North Carolina is home to several scenic byways, and the Meteor Lakes Scenic Byway is closest to Fayetteville. It starts about 45 minutes southeast of Fayetteville in Elizabethtown and travels north to Spivey’s Corner, about 30 minutes northeast of the city. Meteor Lakes Byway affords drivers wide views of farmlands while taking you through two large parks and close to several of the area’s meteor lakes and historic sites. In all, this drive makes an excellent day trip from Fayetteville.
- Enjoy some Southern Charm and a step back in time with a visit to Fayetteville. Tour a number of museums or make a visit to a local farm, park, or winery. Along with having the freedom to visit attractions at your leisure, with a rental car you can also visit nearby cities like Charlotte, Durham, or Raleigh (the capital city of North Carolina).
- The airport in Fayetteville offers direct flights to and from many cities, including Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. When you arrive at the airport you will have immediate access to numerous rental companies. Located in the airport terminal, you’ll have the opportunity to rent a car from Avis, Thrifty, or Alamo, among others.
- The city of Fayetteville has a program called “The Red Light Camera Program.” At certain intersections, there are cameras placed on red lights to catch those who don’t stop or drive recklessly; so be cautious. Also, if you are driving to Durham, you might need to hop on the Triangle Parkway (or Durham Freeway). This is a toll road so you’ll want to have change available.
- Morning rush hour fluctuates from about 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. It can be similar in the evening, with traffic congestion starting at about 3:30 p.m. and continuing through 6 pm. A military town, there can also be sudden traffic jams when there is a deployment or training scheduled. Some of the busiest streets include Hope Mills, Ramsey Street, Hay Street, and Skibo Road.

FAQs about renting a car in Fayetteville

Where are the best places to park in Fayetteville?
Just outside of the downtown area (on Maiden Lane and near the Amtrak Train Station) there are a few free parking lots.

May 2018
Pros:
The lady at the desk was great and made every effort to get us or car at the quoted price. However, we haven't rented a car in years and we're not familiar with the details. She was very polite despite our frustrations and was very professional.Cons:
I booked the car with a debit card but apparently you can't rent a car with a debit card without a credit check and paying extra. This should have been stated when I made my reservation. We brought a credit card but it was in my wife's old name and so we couldn't use it since it didn't match her licence. At the nice desk ladies suggestion, we tried to find a different ID with her old name on it but she didn't bring her whole purse on this trip. It was very frustrating. I had to get a ride to pick up the car and then my wife had to uber back up there with her credit card only to be told that wouldn't work as well. This could have been solved at the reservation point easily by stating you need a matching licence and credit card to book the car in the first place. Very disappointing.10.0 Wonderful
