KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Matthews

  • Specific routes in the city have reliable public transport, but driving car rentals in Matthews gives you the flexibility to access many scenic places. You can go to Boone's Cave Park, about 49 miles north of the city, Sugarloaf Mountain, approximately 50 miles southeast of the city, Sliding Rock, around 50 miles northwest, and High Lock Lake, about 60 miles northeast of Matthews.
  • Most flights to Matthews land at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Several car rental agencies are at the airport, including Dollar, Turo, Easirent, Ace, and Alamo. These rental agencies are located near the baggage claim terminal across the street. Shuttle buses offer convenient services to connect passengers to the rental car facility. Most car rental agencies recommend passengers book a vehicle in advance for easier pick-up.
  • When driving car rentals in Matthews, expect streets with lots of sidewalks, crosswalks, greenways, and walking trails. Avoid blocking the crosswalk with your car and drive slowly to ensure the safety of pedestrians. To drive a rental car, you must have a minimum age of 25 and have a valid driver's license. Though drunk driving is prohibited, city laws allow a blood alcohol concentration below 0.08.
  • Some Matthews streets are affected by traffic, mainly between 6 am and 8 am and 5 pm. and 7 pm on weekdays. The most congested streets are the intersection of W. Matthews Street and N. Trade Street. You can also experience heavy traffic at Matthews Township Parkway. Driving Matthews car rentals on these roads during rush hours can cause delays and inconveniences. Consider using alternative routes. Driving in the city can also be challenging during winter. On snowy days, the roads can be covered in snow and slippery, affecting your vehicle's stability. So, driving rental cars in snowy weather requires skills, slow driving, and keeping a distance between vehicles.

Horrible, Will never rent again. Made a mistake when setting up location at airport. When I went to pick up I was told it was the wrong location and they charged me double for an honest mistake. Never again.
