KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lincolnton

  • Lincolnton car rentals offer travelers numerous advantages over public transport options. With a rental vehicle, visitors can explore the city and its surrounding attractions at their own pace, enjoying greater convenience and flexibility. Must-see places like Lake Norman, Latta Plantation, and Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden have become more accessible, and travelers can also easily venture further to destinations like Asheville's Blue Ridge Mountains or Charlotte. Renting a car proves cost-effective for those wishing to visit multiple sites, avoiding the expenses of taxis or shuttles. Moreover, travelers can avoid the inconvenience of limited luggage space on public transportation, making their journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
  • When renting a car at Douglas Airport (CLT), travelers should know that the rental car offices are within walking distance of the terminal, eliminating the need for a shuttle. After exiting the baggage claim area and heading outside, visitors can easily reach the rental car center by crossing the crosswalk.

Pickup was slow because the truck I was scheduled to rent wasn't in the system properly. Drop off was done by dropping the keys in a dropbox.

It would have been nice to have taken the car on my trip back home. I am now stranded a fourth day with no one-way cars available. I hope your Card credit check, costs you billions to save hundreds. I recently restructured my own car payments, but the older late payments did not drop off as they should have, to only show new payment schedule, which I have kept current. Thanks for ruining my trip. :( :( :(

To actually get to pick up and use the truck that I rented...didn't happen...wasn't notified until 8:30am on the day of pickup which was supposed to happen @ 9am...30 minutes before pickup time, I am told the truck would not be available.
