Confirm by phone the day of your car pick up that the rental car they say will be at the airport. Is there for you. Renting a car in Jackson Mississippi is always going to be difficult. They often don’t have cars where they say they will and they will blame the third-party provider or you or an active God. Anything to avoid personal responsibility for the fact that they just don’t have a car for you. Even though you have a reservation.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Jackson

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Jackson for $60 or less
  • Standard rental cars in Jackson are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average

Staff members at the enterprise in Jackson Mississippi told me after getting to the airport pick up place that kayak had moved my reservation to a location 15 minutes away in Brandon Mississippi. This caused me over the course of my trip much inconvenience and $60-$70 worth of cab rides getting back-and-forth to the other rental car place and the airport. I do not believe the kayak moved my reservation. I believe that the people at enterprise did this. I would very much appreciate it if kayak could tell me what happened. Thank you and if I do not receive any response to this from kayak, I will not use your service in the future.

The car smelled so bad like cigarettes. I drove with the windows down a lot of the time. I also had a tire that was leaking air and I had to pay at a gas station to fill it up. It went from 38 psi to 23 psi in about 9 hours.

First and foremost when I arrived there, they did not have the car that I reserved and instead of try to accommodate me, they tried to give me a minivan. It was for my son’s eighth grade ball. I reserved a Tesla or something similar but a minivan to accommodate me. No no apology was given or anything I never reserve or rent from them again.

This was the worst experience I’ve experienced with Avis/Budget. I normally book through the app but decided to use a 3rd party app. The truck was dirty and when asked for it to be cleaned, it was agin returned dirty after waiting 30 minutes. That’s an additional 30 minutes to the wait to get the truck. The truck had a broken taillight, dents & scratches all over it and broken light on the side mirror. When I cleaned the steering wheel with my wipes, they were literally brown with dirt.

We rented a van for the seven of us and when we got there they said they had no van and had no clue when they would get one. After waiting for an hour to see if one would show up, they told us they were not going to get one today. Our only option was to get a smaller car, but they would not give any discount for the smaller vehicle. To be charged the same amount for a smaller car and two of our group having to take an Uber was an awful experience.

I had to wait over an hour for a rental car at the rental counter. The ladies were nice enough but apparently they have no cars to rent/ had to get some pulled up from another lot. Having to wait over an hour for a rental car when you have an existing reservation is an unacceptable system failure.
