KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Memphis

  • If you’d like to rent a car in Memphis after you alight from your train at Memphis Central Station, you’re in luck, as this station is within a 2-mile radius of various cheap car rentals in Memphis. Some notable Memphis car rentals a short distance from this station include Enterprise, Budget, and Avis Rent-A-Car. Given that the streets of Memphis have well-designated pedestrian paths, you can easily walk to any of the mentioned car rentals.
  • Like all other US cities, Memphis has a couple of road rules you should be aware of before renting a car. In Memphis, it is unlawful for anyone to drive within city streets at a speed of over 25 mph. It is also unlawful to drive at speeds of over 15 mph on any street that has been zoned as a school area. All Memphis schools have official signs that show the areas are designated as school zones. Thus, it would help if you kept an eye out for these signs while driving. If you are caught driving above the set limits in the city streets, you’ll pay a fine of about $70, while if you’re caught doing so in a school zone, you’ll be fined at least $100.
  • With a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Memphis, you’ll be able to have road trips to destinations outside the city. Heber Springs is one such destination. Situated 132 miles (212km) from Memphis, this town boasts picturesque landscapes and many historical points of interest. In your preferred Memphis rental car, you can drive to this destination in about 4h. Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge is another fun destination outside Memphis. Located 56 miles (90km) from Memphis, this destination is home to superb wildlife and vegetation. It is a 2h drive away from Memphis. If none of these attractions appeals to you, you can drive to Chickasaw State Park, which is 80 miles (128km) away from Memphis. It is also a 2h drive from Memphis.
  • Like so many cities in the U.S., Memphis requires visitors to have a vehicle at their disposal. Without a rental car at hand, you would simply struggle to get around the city as there is very little in the way of public transportation in the city. The main option is taking the public bus that, compared to a rental car, is quite slow and, especially when traveling with a group of people, would be even more expensive than renting in some cases.
  • Planning on picking up a rental car after your flight to Memphis lands? For travelers with flights to Memphis International Airport you will find the rental car counters in the Ground Transportation Center in Terminal B, one level below Baggage Claim.
  • Visitors to Memphis should note that GPS devices will often say that drivers can drive on Memphis’ famed Beale Street, but in actuality the street is blocked off for pedestrian use most hours of the day. Beale Street is one of the most popular attractions in Memphis and, while originally cars could drive on it at all hours, nowadays it is mostly reserved for pedestrian traffic except in the early hours.
  • No two words are dreaded more by drivers than rush hour. Fortunately for visiting drivers to Memphis, the city actually has fairly mild rush hour traffic. The morning rush hour normally lasts from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and in the afternoon it starts up around 4:00 p.m. and finishes shortly after 6:00 p.m.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Memphis for $47 or less

  • Off-airport rental car locations in Memphis are around 34% cheaper than airport locations on average

I booked a car a month in advance. Then on the day of pickup they tell me they are overbooked and don’t have a car for us. Both customer service line and people at the counter were very unhelpful and uncaring about the situation they created for us. We wasted an Uber ride from the airport to the pickup site and then had to go back to the airport to get a car from another company. Will never use Hertz again.

When we arrived to pick up the car, after waiting in the queue for 30 minutes were told that they didn't have one available. The lady at the desk said that we could try the airport office which would require us to book a second taxi. I asked if she could phone them first to check if they had a car available she advised that there was no point as they would be busy so wouldn't answer the phone anway. Being stranded we took the second taxi to the airport where the Hertz desk was not busy at all , theren was nobody queueing at all. I explained the situation to the lady at the desk who could not have been less interested or helpful. She simply gave me the customer service number to ring to change the booking, she also declined my request to call for me.. I phoned the customer service number and got recored message advising that there would be a 10 minute with time. After 30 minutes my wife asked the still not busy lady if there she could help, met with the same complete indifference. After a further 20 minutes we decided to get a car from Avis. This is not the first time that Hertz have let us down on this trip. On a previous rental a metal cover under the car came loose and ws noisily dragging on the ground. We.phone the assistance number and were told that someone would be with us in 2 hours. After 3 hours when I called again I was told that nobody was coming and nor would they be as they had nobody covering the area we were in. By this time shops and garages were shut so we had to stay in a nearby motel and then bought some cable ties in the morning and crawled under the car myself to effect an emergency repair. The service and care we have received from Hertz has been th worst of any company of any kind that I have ever dealt with and the staff at the 2 Memphis offices the lest helpful and interested of any front desk staff I have ever come across.

The person said cars are not avaipable even if they had cars and l have already prebooked it. Later the person said he will figure out something and gave one of the car as I was with the family there which are quite older. The questions asked during the car pickup were also quite irrelevant as compared to my previous experiences. Nobody asked me earlier who is your employer and give me your insurance details for some reason. Also, how the car appeared available suddenly after seeing I will be there standing figuring out what to do next. The car didn't had any viper fluid also. I am thankful that I finally got the car but the dealing and not giving the car in the first time either thinking to make it available for higher prices for future booking or some other reason.

I was somewhat disappointed that my rental was not automatically extended when there was a power outage at the rental location which delayed me getting the rental and on the road. Subsequently (once I realized this), I had to call Avis to request an extension to which I received clack from the agent, not exactly the customer I am accustomed to from Avis.

The first rental they were sold out of cars and were supposed call me in the morning when one came in. They did not call. The second rental no one was at the desk or in the lot at DFW. So I ended up renting from another agency.

Despite having a reservation they did not have a car when I arrived. I had to pick up a car the next day from a different location.

Pros:

Staff are unfriendly. The pick-up is inconvenient and disorganized. There is garbage and standing water all over the parking garage and car rental area. We didn't get the car we booked. We had no assistance with our child seat. The car we picked up was dirty and not in great shape. The overall pick up experience took more than an hour. I hate you all.

Cons:

Y'all need to up your game. You should be ashamed of the way these businesses are ran.

Everything was a bad taste in my mouth , rented a car that wasn’t available for my to pick it up and the person at the airport was rude and very self centered no empathy and should not be in a position like that . Had never been treated like that in my entire life .

UI liked nothing. I had previously made a confirmed reservation for 5:30PM. I approached the rental counter at approximately 5:35PM. The agent took my driver's license and a hard copy of my confirmed reservation. After a few minutes she informed me there were no cars available, and it could be 1 to 2 hours before a vehicle could be available. I pointed out a vehicle less than 509 feet from the counter and was told it was unavailable. Approximately 1 hour and fifteen minutes later the agent called me to the counter, explained a vehicle was available but I would be required to pay an upcharge. She pointed to the very same vehicle which was still in the same spot I had inquired about when I first got to the counter. I had to drive over two hours south of Memphis for a meeting the next morning. I had to have a car. She explained the upcharge would be $10. I agreed. I received a charge to my credit card for just over $239. $200 of which she explained was a deposit. I am requesting a full refund for the upcharge and confirmation the $200 deposit has been returned to my account. I have never been treated like this by any rental car company. I will never rent from your firm again. I am sending out a blast email to all my contacts and work associates detailing my experience and recommending they never use your firm.

Found good pricing online. The hiccup was that there was a 4 hour delay to pick up the vehicle when we arrived at the airport, as cars had not been turned in on time, so we had to use Uber to leave the airport, then return to pick up the vehicle. I was notified when the vehicle was ready and from there, things went smoothly. Car was clean on pick up overall; had some prior dings that we noted before leaving the rental pick up site, but nothing major. The vehicle return went well.

Pros:

No staff was not friendly, Thirfty didn't have any cars/trucks available. Told us we could be put on a waiting list and sit and wait for someone to maybe return a vehicle. This is unacceptable for you to allow a reservation for a specific time and there be no cars available. There were a lot of customers up there waiting. We cancelled the reservation and went with another company.

Cons:

Everything could have been better. I will never attempt to rent from them again. Horrible customer service. Horrible way of doing business. I will recommend them to anyone ever

Pros:

I made the reservation for the vehicle 2 months prior to the pick up date. When we arrived in Memphis Airport we were told there were no vehicles available. The Thrifty agent said they were cleaning vehicles when they came in and it would be approx 2-3 hours before a vehicle was available!! We waited almost 3 hours for a car!!!!! The Thrifty agent was completely matter of fact and didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. I will NEVER rent from this company again!

Cons:

The entire experience!!!!!

Pros:

Cons:

it was a 3 hour wait for a car. actually, they couldn't give us an actual time on how long it would be until our car was ready. the only good thing was that the lady working the counter allowed us to cancel our reservation without any questions asked (good on you, whoever you are!!). we went to another company and they told us that they do this ALL THE TIME

Pros:

Staff was friendly, car was clean, everything worked.

Cons:

1. No car was available when we arrived, in spite of my efforts earlier to ensure there would be. We were lucky that a car appeared within 20 mins. 2. The air pressure warning was on the entire 8 days. I added air to all tires but the warning persisted. 3. Too much time spent waiting for receipt to be printed upon our return. Avis doesn’t seem to try harder anymore.
