Top tips for renting a car in Jackson

  • Rent a car in Jackson to enjoy the flexibility and convenience it offers as you visit various destinations and go sightseeing at will. Cheap car rentals in Jackson allow you to save money rather than forking out on cabs, rideshares or having a hard time figuring out which bus or train connection you’ll need. Regardless of your purpose for visiting Jackson, an affordable car rental will assist you in doing things at your own pace. It gives a better experience exploring the city in your car than building the entire experience around public transportation, which can be hectic, especially if you have never been to Jackson before.
  • Jackson Evers International Airport has highly regarded car rental companies with convenient on-airport locations. Take comfort in not having to take a shuttle bus to get to the city car rentals. Immediately you land at Jackson Evers International Airport, book a rental car to make your transfer as seamless and simple as possible. You do not have to scour the internet searching for rental cars because the airport boasts several car rental agencies. You can find cheap car rentals in Jackson that match your needs at the airport and be on your way to see the city. You can find Alamo, Budget, Avis, Dollar, Hertz, Enterprise, Payless, Thrifty, and National.
  • Jackson is the most populous city in Mississippi and often experiences a large number of vehicles on the road. It is even worse during rush hour, from around 3:00 to 6:00 pm Avoid traveling during this time to avoid getting stuck in traffic. You will run behind time on visiting all your desired destinations. We advise that you stay away from milepost 87 (I-20 intersection) to milepost 103 (Old Canton Road) during rush hour and plan to travel during earlier hours.
  • Jackson is not only the capital of Mississippi but also one of the state’s most populated cities. Many travelers come to Jackson, Mississippi for either leisure or business, and a Jackson car rental will give you the luxury of attending your business meetings and sightseeing at your own pace rather than figuring out which of the city’s limited bus routes will get you where you want to go or spending extra money and time on rideshares. Be sure to check out historic sites that were at the epicenter of the nation’s human rights movement, like the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, the Medgar Evers House, Freedom Corner, and the Greyhound Bus Station Freedom Trail Marker. With a car, you can take a road trip outside of the city limits to the Bienville National Forest 50 miles away, the Delta National Forest 75 miles away, or nearby to the Ross R Barnett Reservoir 22 miles away.
  • Pick up your Jackson rental car directly from Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN) to save time and money. Most car rental companies are located on-site at the Car Rental Center in Terminal Level 1 across from the baggage claim. Some additional companies offer complimentary shuttle services, which you can catch directly outside the main terminal doors. Look for a brown sign indicating the Rental Car Shuttles. Then you can drive your car rental in Jackson 6 miles into Downtown Jackson.
  • Because Jackson is a large city, particularly when it comes to manufacturing, the highways around Jackson can get busy. The major highways in Jackson, Mississippi include Interstate 55, Interstate 20, Interstate 220, US 51, US 49, and US 80. Although the winter season is quite temperate, the city roads are frequented by several potholes, so please drive your car rental in Jackson with caution and a close eye to the road.
  • Snow is rare in Jackson, nonetheless, be sure that you practice safe driving in snowy or icy conditions by not slamming your brakes and driving below the speed limit. The morning rush hour is between 7am and 8am. During rush hour, the Interstate 55 South towards Byram tends to get the most backed up. Keep these rush hour times in mind when returning your car to catch a flight, and allow for more time to arrive in case of traffic.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Jackson for $51 or less
  • Book your rental car in Jackson at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Jackson are around 13% cheaper than airport locations on average
  • Supplier choice rental cars in Jackson are around -56% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:

The associate at the Jackson Hertz was very unhelpful and discourteous. I reserved a mid-size SUV and on the reservation it said, “Jeep Cherokee, Ford Escape, Toyota Rav-4, or similar model.” However, the associate would not let me rent a Jeep Cherokee without paying for an upgrade.

Scheduled pick up for 8pm. They closed at 8pm and no one was able to assist me with rental. I had to cancel and order another car last minute through a different company. I had to pay more and lost 2 hours of time. Called Bridget Whiteman, the supervisor, and she recommended I wait until the next morning to pick up the car. Very poor service and would not recommend.

I liked the efficiency of service, the car was ready. It was a great experience. The rental process was hindered by the overly flirty associate.

Cons:

The associate was unprofessional. He asked me where I was going, where I worked, make comments about my appearance. When I asked him what was his purpose, he stated it was apart of his job. I came to get a car, not to be harassed at the counter by a hormonal college student. He thought my irritation was funny. He and the female associate next to him. It was not.

Pros:

Cons:

The car was too small, the agents didn't explain the Insurance well. I paid for insurance and locked the key in the trunk and I had to pay another $60. That could have been avoided if that was explained when I picked the car up. Thanks. DEBORAH CHUKKA
