KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Marietta
- Day trips with cheap car rentals in Marietta provide the perfect escape from the city. The most popular day trip destinations are to the northeast and southeast. Hop on the I-75 and drive around 3h 40min northeast to Pigeon Forge, roughly 230 miles away. Great Smoky Mountain National Park is also about 3h 40min away by car. The famous Georgia Aquarium is about 19 miles southeast of Marietta, a great destination to explore with the family. About 105 miles northwest of Marietta are the Ruby Falls, a journey taking about 1h 35min.
- Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is approximately 30 miles from Marietta Square in central Marietta. Get on the Terminal Parkway and head east. Join Riverdale Road by making a right, then run right again onto the I-85 N ramp. Continue on the I-85 N for about 15 miles, then take a left onto I-75 N. Join GA 120 W by taking exit 263 after about 12 and a half miles on the I-75 N. Continue for about half a mile, then merge onto South Marietta Parkway SE. Drive for about three miles, then turn to Atlanta Street SE. Less than a mile ahead, make a left onto S Park Square NE, and you will have arrived at your destination.
- Drivers of Marietta car rentals are bound to drive past several intersections in the city. Some intersections can be dangerous if you fail to pay attention on the roads. Knowing about these intersections and being vigilant when driving past them will help you keep safe on the roads. The most dangerous intersection is at Cobb Parkway and Windy Hill Road. If you drive outside the city, the intersection on Canton Road and US 41 near Interstate 75 is the most dangerous in Cobb County. Watch out for other dangerous intersections within Cobb County when driving around.
- Rent a car in Marietta to have easy access to this suburb, just a half an hour away from Atlanta. There are many places to visit in the Atlanta area that are a short drive away with your car rental. Using alternative modes of transportation in this city is rare, requires planning, and sometimes long wait times. Specifically, if you are planning a visit to Six Flags White Water with the family or explore the many historical sites in and around Atlanta, you are sure to appreciate the benefits and added comfort that your car rental in Marietta will provide you.
- The closest airport to Marietta is the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), only 30min to the south of the city. The Rental Car Center is not located at the airport terminal but can be reached by the free airport SkyTrain in 15min. Walk towards the Western portion of the terminal and continue beneath the walkway to reach the escalator that will take you to the SkyTrain station.
- The main highways serving Marietta include Interstate 75 and the US 41, which run from the north to the south of the city. Interstate 85 will take you to and from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Other than that, driving in Marietta is easy as Marietta roads are well-marked, in excellent condition, there are no tolls on Georgian highways, and parking is plentiful. These are a few more reasons why a car rental in Marietta is a good idea. The one thing to watch out for is speeding on residential roads, as drivers have been known to take shortcuts through these roads to avoid the highways during rush hour.
- Rush hour in Marietta is from 6:30am to 9:30am and 4pm to 6:30pm from Monday to Friday, and typically earlier on Friday afternoons. Keep in mind that in the winter months, when snow and rain accumulate on the Marietta roads and highways, driving conditions can become dangerous. Drive slowly, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, don’t slam your brakes, and keep your vehicle in a low gear as you travel to prevent accidents and keep safe. If you are on a schedule or need to catch a flight, consider the rush hour times when deciding when to leave.

Pros:
The car I was giving drove ok. Not really a fan of Ford cars.Cons:
The price I was quoted and guaranteed online under the Kayak website turned out to be much, much more in price when I got to the budget location. Not something you what to here/learned when you're on a financial budget. Then I was giving a clipboard with my paper work to do my own inspection of the car without a attendant/employee present. And finally was told because I used a debit card I needed a pay stub, utility bill, or bank statement in order to rent the car. Not something people walk around in their purse with everyday. Wasn't told this online either. Will go back to Enterprise Rental.10.0 Wonderful

Apr 2021
Pros:
I booked the car through kayak, and after waiting 30 minutes, they told me that the car, which was to be ~700, was going to be 1100 because they were going to give me a RARE upgrade. I told them I didn't want an upgrade that I had to pay for. I wanted what I paid for. So, after 20 more minutes, the guy I was dealing with went in the back and didn't come out. Some other guy came out and ultimately helped me. Also, I explicitly told them I did NOT want satellite radio. When I got the bill, it included a $35 fee for the satellite radio. Also, they gave the car bone empty. The fuel light came on 2 miles after I drove out of the parking lot. The car itself (A Ford Fusion) was great. The process to get it was very poor. Btw - It was a Hertz rental facility.Cons:
Pickup was NOT good. ~50 minutes to get the car. Plus the bait and switch, satellite radio fiasco and followed up with no gas in the car. I won't do this again2.0 Poor
Mar 2021
Pros:
It was cheap. The car worked (except for two of the rear speakers).Cons:
Easily the worst car rental experience of my entire life. The staff at the pickup location were unprofessional, unprepared, and dishonest. They did not have the van I prepaid for, but told me on the phone prior to pickup that they did. When I arrived and was stranded at the location, they took an hour to start working with me, then told me that there was no van (and hadn't been one for days) and tried to make me accept a sedan instead. They told me that the only way I would get a van was going to the airport, but refused to arrange a way for me to get there. They kept implying that they were going to have to just cancel my reservation unless I just accepted a smaller car. After two hours, they "found" a large SUV that, while still not as big as I needed, was workable. They then tried to strongarm me into paying an upgrade fee and again implied that unless I agreed to it they would cancel my reservation. After waiving the upgrade fee, they then acted like they did me some huge favor and tried to guilt me into paying extra again. After all this, the salesman told me that they would charge $2.00 per gallon to pre-purchase my fuel. When I pointed out that the wall sign said a higher price, he told me to ignore that because it was out of date. Shame on me, I agreed. Guess which amount I was charged? To put a cherry on top, when I tried to drop the vehicle back off at the location using the after-hours key drop they told me to use, I arrived to find the only entrance to the facility gated and locked. I had to sit in a nearby parking lot for an hour waiting for the 1-800 number to finally work with me, and now I have to take time off of work to make another trip out there. I haven't actually returned the vehicle yet after corporate extended my dropoff time to today. But how much do you want to bet they try to stick me with some extra fees?4.8 Mediocre
Aug 2020
Pros:
The location was close.Cons:
Facility was very dirty. In Bathroom, the cabinet holding supplies was busted, the tissue holder was broken and the soap dispenser was broken. The facility including sink and toilet were filthy. Common area floor was dirty as well. Reservation was for a full size SUV. It was NOT a full size SUV. The person said that it seats 7 so it is rated as a full size SUV. First, there is NO way it could fit 7 people, maybe if you include 4 children. A smart car can fit 5 so does that make it a compact SUV? Felt cheated so I have lost trust in Hertz.10.0 Wonderful

When I picked upmy car, they were friendly and quick. I received an upgrade from a standard sedan to a luxury sedan because the car I had requested to rent was not suitable for rent.10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2017
Pros:
One employee, I believe Danielle was her name?Cons:
I arrived at the location, only to be told there were no cars available and maybe there would be one in an hour. The very unapologetic and unhelpful employee did nothing to soothe my concern. He didn't offer any suggestions on how I could change things to accommodate their mistake. I was basically SOL. When I called about in about 30/45 minutes to check on the status of my refund, I was told all reservations had been pushed to the next day. I told them that didn't work for me since I was leaving in the morning. They finally accommodated me with a vehicle that smelled bad, didn't seem to run properly and seemed like the alignment was off. In summary, maybe the entire Hertz company isn't bad, but corporate should take a hard look at this location and how it is run!!!Thrifty

Sep 2017
Pros:
Car was comfortable. No hassle at pick up. Car drove well. The employee at pick up was very sweet and helpful. Easy to get to pick up location.Cons:
Interior of car smelled awful and never really got better. No other option for stereo besides boring and one dimensional XM radio. Really would've appreciated being able to plug my device in without having to download app. When I droppped off the car there ended up being hidden fees and charges during the rental that I was not informed of until after my card was charged. I was also charged for extra rental hours even though I brought the car back on the date I was supposed to before the location closed. The car also had terrible gas mileage and I was forced to spend a lot more on gas than I should have. All in all it was a shady and unprofessional experience. At least now I know to stay away from Thrifty locations. The employee I dealt with at drop off was rude as well.7.2 Good

It was a horrible occasion. I made this reservation on December 6, for a full size car and to be pickup on December 22. In the morning of the pickup day, I called the rental location to make sure that they had my car. After 15 mnts of waiting, since at first my reservation could not be found, they told me that since I made reservation using a third party - Kayak my reservation was for whatever car they have available. They offered me a compact car, which could fit my necessity. I had to go to other company (Avis) and get exactly what a needed. Even though I had to pay more for it.8.0 Very good
