KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in McDonough

  • The transport system in McDonough, Georgia, is not as comprehensive as many other cities, and you'll find that getting a rental car comes with its advantages. From having the ability to keep to your own schedule to feeling safer given that you'll be behind the wheel, to the opportunity to see a lot more without having to worry about routes, schedules, and getting into the interiors. With a car rental in McDonough, you have the ability to skip town and venture as far as 32 miles away to the Georgia Aquarium in approximately half an hour. You could also drop at the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park just 57 miles away in about an hour.
  • You'll find a rental car facility at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport where you can pick up your car from various rental companies such as Avis, Dollar, and Enterprise. The consolidated rental car facility is located at the west end of the terminal. Use the escalator, the station where you’ll board the ATL SkyTrain that’ll take you directly to the facility about 1.5 miles from the airport terminal.
  • While driving with your McDonough rental car, be wary of jaywalkers as some roads may not have crosswalks available. The law allows pedestrians to jaywalk as long as they yield to traffic, so as a new driver in the city, be careful. During the winter season, it's not uncommon for roads to freeze following snow, so be prepared with a four-wheel-drive to avoid accidents if you intend to visit McDonough in winter. You may also encounter flash floods during the rainy season.
  • There’s not much traffic on most of the city roads in McDonough. However, the 1-75 is one of the most notorious routes for traffic jams. The morning rush hours in McDonough span from 6am to 8am. Traffic picks up again from 9am to 10am, but after that is going to be smooth sailing. The evening commute goes from 4pm to 7pm, so if you need to travel during those times, it may be better to grab a bite as you wait then commute after 7pm. These commutes could take longer if there’s an accident or ongoing construction.
  • Driving in McDonough is generally straightforward, but some roads require extra caution. For example, Jonesboro Road is a busy thoroughfare that is also used by pedestrians, so keep an eye out for people walking along the road or crossing the street. GA-20 runs east-west through McDonough and is an important commercial corridor with many businesses, shopping centers, and restaurants. This means that it is a major commercial corridor, so expect to encounter vehicles turning left or right into various shopping centers and businesses along the road.

It is advisable to have cash or a Peach Pass to pay for tolls on these roads.

What would have been better would have been finding our reservation and renting us the car we reserved. That did not happen. Enterprise in Griffin AND National Enterprise had no record of any reservation in my name. We suddenly had no car to rent and had to go to a town an hours drive away to rent a car -from Avis. It was a horrible experience, needless to say.

I chose the “Special” which is the selection of the rental company. They selected an EV which would not be feasible because I was driving a route without charging stations. They did not want to allow me another option without an additional cost per day. Fortunately, one of the managers was very kind and allowed me to get a vehicle that was good on gas at no extra charge. If I had not waited and asked someone else, I would have been put in a 17 mpg vehicle at $10 more per day. Beware of the “special”.

I reserved pickup for noon. I signed in at the counter and waited. At 2:30 I finally had a car that smelled like wet dog. I drove it home and decided I could not keep that vehicle. I reserved another for pickup the next day at the airport location. I was charged $122 for a single day rental, I wrote customer service and was told that I breached my contract by returning to a different location and returning too soon. Good to know for any and all future rentals from Hertz. I have had the vehicle from the airport for 2 weeks now and can't wait to see that final bill...

Lower rates, and clean car. Other customers were brought out a clean car, this red chevy was not clean. Then csr tried to charge me extra when I put $20 of gas in it. It had less than a half of tank of gas upon receiving the flop. Terrible!
