KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Louisville

  • Ready to rent a car on your road trip to Louisville? Instead of using public transport, rent a car for an ultimate sense of freedom while exploring this city. There is no better way to see all that Louisville has to offer than by roaming around its charming streets. From the Highlands to the Ohio River to Cherokee Park, the city has plenty of sights to discover by car.
  • If you are flying into Louisville, it’s good to know that there are two airports: Louisville International and Bowman Fields. When you land at Louisville International Airport you will find the car rental counters on-site at the airport’s main Terminal. Once you get into arrivals, the car rental counters are located on the lower level near baggage claim.
  • Drivers new to the state of Kentucky will have to navigate various interstates, county roads, and city streets, along with rural and secondary roads. Louisville has many bicycle lanes to cater for its large bicycling community, so look out for cyclists in the city. During winter, be prepared for heavy snowfall and decrease your speed when driving in tough conditions.
  • Driving on Louisville’s crowded interstates during rush hour, particularly around Spaghetti Junction where three major interstates meet and merge, means you will encounter heavy traffic at some point. You should avoid driving in the morning, from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and during the afternoon between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm. On Thursdays you can expect delays during the evening commute on Thursdays, while on Friday mornings the rush hour is much lighter.
  • Are you ready to find cheap car rentals in Louisville for some adventure? There are a few unique driving rules to keep in mind. One of them is that the maximum speed limit for cars is different from that of trucks. Trucks must move slower than cars. Texting while driving is also illegal. You risk paying a fine if you fail to stop at a red light or a stop sign. The limit for drinking alcohol and driving in Kentucky is .08%. Therefore, you might consider leaving your rental car behind if you plan on drinking. Besides, there are restrictions on where you can park your rental car in Louisville during morning or evening rush hours.
  • If you’d like to explore other areas with cheap car rentals in Louisville, you might need to check with your rental company. Different rental companies have varying cross-border travel policies. However, most companies allow cross-border travel. However, you must show a non-resident insurance card, a passport, and a valid driver’s license if you want to travel to the north across the Canadian border. If you're going to cross the southern border to Mexico, you will need your license, passport, and Mexican Automobile Liability Insurance.
  • Louisville has so much to offer when it comes to adventure, especially when you have the correct type of car. Most people renting cars in Louisville go for full-size vehicles. These cars have impressive features such as leather seats, powerful engines, and sunroofs. There are also spacious, so you have enough space for suitcases and kids. Most people in Louisville tend to go for the Chevrolet Malibu and Hyundai Accent. Lucky for you, there are around 15 car rental locations in Louisville, making it easy to find a car.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Louisville for $56 or less
  • Premium rental cars in Louisville are around 18% cheaper than other car types, on average

I showed up and they told me they didn’t have a car for me and would need to be placed on a waitlist with no guarantee of a car, even though I had a confirmation # from them. They were quite rude about it as well. They had cars on the lot but were only available as upgrades and cost more money. There were numerous others in the same boat. They blamed it on crowdstrike which I understand but the customer service was very poor.

I rented the car and couldn’t pick it up when I arrived. Fortunately, I didn’t need it until the following morning. When I went back the next morning, the person who was working there said that the person who had worked the day before I was telling lies, and there was no guarantee I could have the car then either. As a business, this kind of behavior on all ends is unacceptable.

Although we've had mediocre experience with Dollar Rent-A-Car before, this one I definitely rate excellent. Pick-up was seamless, and drop-off even faster. Employees were courteous. Car was clean. Thankful they've upped their game!

I was very disappointed that I had to wait for a car when I had booked it 2 months in advance. There should be no need to wait for a car….they told me that it was busy because it was spring break. You shouldn’t rent out more cars than you can supply.

Waited 90 min in line to pick up a car, even though I prepaid. Oil maintenance light came on 400 miles into my trip. I called Payless and I was told to get car serviced and save my receipts. Not and ideal situation during a vacation. We will see if I actually get reimbursed….

Cons:

Use a different company. My flight from Afghanistan had engine problems and we did emergency landing and forced. To spend night in Bulgaria. I called in as soon as plane landed to cancel or pushback one day but agent said no help. When I finally got to Car Rental in SDF they double charged me and the rates went up to a premium of 85 dollars a day. But thank God we didn’t crash and all of us military got home to the USA safe and next time I just will not book their Kayak

Pros:

Agent at desk was friendly

Cons:

I was assigned a car but it was not in it's location. I had to find an employee to find another car for me, which took about 15 minutes. The car I received was dirty and definitely wasn't cleaned beyond pre-covid standards. I'm not a germ freak, but greasy fingerprints on the screen and doors and a greasy feeling steering wheel are just nasty.

Never like the "up sale" stuff.

Cons:

The fact that a spouse is not free to drive?! Really in this day and time? Thrifty is on my short list to never use again.

Pros:

The price and the vehicle was great.

Cons:

At pickup, the vehicle was not ready, and had to wait. The help desk seemed to not want to be working. There was no information given about the return of the vehicle. I had to ask about return from the man working the gate, but even that was not enough. At return, there was no one to close the transaction, Just a sign saying to leave the keys in the car. I had to work with customer service for the next two days to get the extra daily charges removed from my credit card account because no one at the drop off location closed the account. I'll not rent from Thrifty and associated companies again.

I reserved a car, paid for a ride to the airport to pick up the car, there was no car available, the staff was rude and indifferent, they suggested that I sit in the airport for up to eight hours, waiting for a car to become available, they also couldn’t guarantee that a car would become available, I paid for a ride back to my home from the airport. I spent 60 bucks to get back-and-forth from the airport and I did not get a car. I can’t imagine how this could be worse. And I can’t imagine that Avis cares

No car was available. The desk person said she would have called to tell me, but, according to her, I didn’t enter a phone number on my reservation. She then read my phone number to me off of her piece of paper and didn’t even bother to apologize for the over sight.

Went to rental office and no SUVs were available. We had already waited an hour in line and had to leave the office. Went to the airport and had to pay full price for an suv rental. The car had not been cleaned. It drove well. Staff was nice at the airport Avis facility.

Car had a screw in the tire and could not call directly to any Avis stores to find a replacement. Came in to the Franklin Tn location ant Embassey Suites and was told there was a car coming in and after two days finally left with no car replacement! Customer service was terrible. The maintenance light came on had to find a Avis rental to bring it in. All the cars were filthy dirty. Many smelled like cigarettes. Will not use Avis again.

Terrible vehicle. The exact opposite of the 'economy' class that we reserved. Got 26mpg. We are used to 54mpg. Rolling catastrophe. Dirty inside and out. Smelled bad. Worse design. Should be junked.
