KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fort Smith
- Car rentals in Fort Smith are a great way to get around, especially if you're staying in the area for a while and want to explore its many sights and attractions.

Fort Smith car rentals have an impressive selection of vehicles to choose from, including SUVs and vans if you need more space for your whole family or luggage.
- If you are a Person with Reduced Mobility (PRM), you have no reason to worry about your chances of renting a car of your choice from any of the cheap car rentals in Fort Smith. A majority of Fort Smith car rentals, key among them; Enterprise, Avis, and Budget, may offer several PRM-friendly amenities. On request, these car rentals will modify your car with PRM-friendly amenities such as pedal and steering wheel extenders, left-foot accelerators, reduced-effort braking systems, adaptive electronic controls, and a surrogate driver. You should, however, note a surrogate driver will attract an extra cost.
- If you're looking to rent a car at Fort Smith Airport, there are plenty of options. You can choose from Budget, Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, and National. Car rentals in Fort Smith have on-site offices at Fort Smith Regional Airport.
- If you are planning to rent your car from Fort Smith car rentals, please take note of the minimum and maximum age restrictions for renting a car in Fort Smith. Most cheap car rentals in Fort Smith have set 25 as their minimum age limit for renting a car. A few car rentals among them, Hertz, have set their maximum age limit at 75. You may be allowed to rent only certain types, models, or classes of cars, provided you are paying the daily young driver's surcharge for renters aged 21 and 24. If you are over 75, some car rentals will request you to provide a recent medical certificate to determine your health condition.
- If you're driving in the morning, you have to contend with the fact that other people are also on their way to work, which makes it difficult to get anywhere fast. It's important that drivers avoid distractions while driving during rush hour because they could cause an accident or even hurt someone. Traffic jams however, start slowing down in the afternoon.
- You will need the following main documents to rent a car from the cheap car rentals in Fort Smith. First, since most Fort Smith car rentals reject cash payments, you need a credit or debit card. Your credit or debit card should have the minimum limit to cover your car rental charges. These cards should have also been issued in your name. Second, you will also need a valid driver's license. Your license should not feature a major endorsement within 12 months. Lastly, you will need any other document to identify you. This may be an I.D. for U.S. Citizens or a passport for non-US citizens.
- If you're driving in Fort Smith, it's important to know that road conditions can change rapidly. Due to the area's high elevation, dense fog is common in the winter months, and it can make driving very dangerous. If you find yourself in this situation, slow down and turn on your headlights.

Jul 2017
Pros:
The representative was very nice and professionalCons:
My agreement for the rental was for 4 days unlimited mileage but when I returned it, I was charged for mileage after an allowed amount of mileage. Making it come up to about $475. To my confusion I don't understand how the contract was so different in charges compared to my initial reservation through kayak. The manager was able to bring it down to $167 but that still meant I paid $50 extra in fee for no reason. It was picked up and returned on time with full tank. But better read the fine prints when you get the contract because they won't tell you anything and it wasn't the same deal as I reserved it through kayak. I will never rent again at hertz regardless of price.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Exceptional help with actually getting the car when I flew in at airport. One of the quickest processing, turn in, and close outs of any one way rental I have had.4.0 Mediocre
Aug 2016
Cons:
The building is bland and dirty. Dropped the car off in another city and had billing issues. There was an extra one way charge for $50 that no one made mention of or was on my original reservation. Of course the computers were slow and then crashed. It took almost an hour just to drop off the car. I received the receipt by email two days later.Demo Prepaid
