KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Monroe

  • Though train services are common and reliable in Monroe, renting a car is the best way to explore this vibrant city. The advantage of driving Monroe car rentals is that you can drive to various destinations at your own pace, unlike public transport, which travels on specific routes at certain times. You can visit Itusi Trail, approximately 50 miles northwest of the city, or Sand Hills State Forest, about 40 miles from Monroe.
  • Most flights to Monroe land at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Several car rental agencies at the airport, including Silvercar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Hertz, are located in Lobby 2 near the terminal. Also, free shuttles are available to transport passengers from the terminal to the rental car facility. When booking a car at the car rental office, you can find long queues if car rentals are in demand. Booking a rental car in advance helps you avoid last-minute hassle and stress.
  • Sometimes, Monroe Street can be busy if there are activities such as crews filming. If driving car rentals in Monroe during busy days, you need to use an alternative route. Also, you should be careful when driving at the Unionville-Indian Trail Road intersection. Though there are sidewalks near the intersection, it lacks crosswalks, and pedestrians can cross the road without the driver's expectations. Hence, drive slower while approaching the intersection.
  • Driving car rentals in Monroe during rush hours between 7:30 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 6:30 pm on weekdays can be frustrating. When driving in the city during these hours, avoid Griffith Road and Plyler Mill because they are congested. You should avoid these roads when getting in and out of the city, especially in the mornings and evenings. If you have to use these streets, begin your journey earlier to escape traffic and enjoy a convenient journey.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Monroe for $49 or less
  • Book your rental car in Monroe at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

Staff was not helpful, they did not have the vehicle (VAN) I reserved or anything even close. I needed a Van for my job while my pickup was getting repaired and they could only give a subcompact car even though I made a reservation for a Commercial Van.

Cons:

Everything, run away from this place! The vehicles are not well maintained or clean the car had such a horrible smell I had to drive with the windows down to reach my destination. They allow you to reserve a vehicle class but don't have that class available when you show up to pick it up.
