KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lexington

  • Whether you are on a business trip, commercial travel, or just on a private trip, car rentals in Lexington provide a way to travel more independently and explore locations you would have otherwise missed. Renting a car in Lexington gives you an easy way to explore Peachtree Rock Heritage Preserve and Icehouse Amphitheater. Unlike the mass transport systems that operate on fixed schedules, rental cars give you much-needed flexibility in your trip. Additionally, you can explore locations the scheduled mass transit systems do not cover.
  • You will land at Colombia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) when flying into Lexington. You can get a vehicle from car rentals in Lexington right from the airport. Hertz offers on-site rental services at the airport. It has a rental counter on 3000 Aviation Way, 29170 that operates from Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 12 am. It remains open from 7:30 to 10 pm on Saturdays and from 7:30 am to 12 am on Sundays. National, Budget, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Thrifty, Avis, Alamo, and Dollar offer pick-up services from the airport to their off-airport rental locations.
  • Before getting behind the wheel of any Lexington rental car, here are a few tips you should have. First, every occupant of a motor vehicle in Lexington must wear a seatbelt. Children under six years must be secured in a child passenger restraint. When driving on a highway or street half an hour before sunrise or after sunset, you must turn on your headlights. You must also turn on headlights when using windshield wipers as a result of sleet, snow, or rain.
  • While driving around Lexington is usually relatively straightforward, avoid driving during rush hours. Lexington experiences rush hour traffic in the morning and evening. The morning rush hour typically lasts from 7 am to 9 am, while the evening rush hour is from 4 pm to 7 pm. Particularly avoid driving on Buck Coley Rd during the rush hours as it experiences heavy traffic flow during these hours.

Everyone is strapped for cars these days. Luckily Hertz had a car for me (had a reservation via Kayak). Others coming to the counter late at night were not so lucky. The lot was thin. I reserved a sedan, e.g. Chevy Malibu but received a GMC Acadia. Way too much car, but can't be to picky these days. No agent in the return lot, had to take keys to counter, but it was quick.

Cons:

I usually select the managers special which was $560 where they choose the car. They had options available but elected to give me a compact for the $560 for 9 days. Really? A compact for 9 days at $560? I cancelled my reservation at that point I usually get good options of a mid size or better, and most of the time a full size truck, hence why I go with the manager special. I explained to them I was carrying 4 people around for a week and they didn't seem to care. I had doubled booked with Enterprise to cover myself. Glad I did. At Enterprise I got a luxury SUV for the same price. I guess Hertz didn't need my $600?
