KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Murfreesboro
Your stay in Murfreesboro can use the comforts provided by a rental car as you visit the plentiful attractions in the city. The Stones River National Battlefield, rich with history and scenic trails, is on Old Nashville Highway. In its vicinity are Oaklands Mansion and Cannonburgh Village, which you can get to by your rental car in Murfreesboro in less than 10min. You can also seek entertainment from the parties and events on Mayday Brewery on Old Salem Road. If country music is your cup of tea, a rental car would be a convenient means of transport to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, approximately 32 miles from Murfreesboro.
Murfreesboro Municipal Airport is approximately 3 miles from Murfreesboro city center. The local airport has no rental car center on-site, and you might have to travel to Downtown Murfreesboro to rent a car. The closest international airport to Murfreesboro is Nashville International Airport, located roughly 30 miles from Murfreesboro. To find the Rental Car Center at the airport, you can go down one level from the baggage claim area using the escalator. Once on the Ground Transportation Level, follow the signs to the Murfreesboro Car Rentals, with counters for Budget, Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise, which you can book through KAYAK.
Downtown Murfreesboro is home to a dense network of roadways, including Old Fort Parkway, Memorial Blvd, and the busy Broadway Street. A navigation system, which you can easily install in the car rented from Murfreesboro car rentals, can be a helpful tool when driving through the city center. Moreover, Murfreesboro drivers are relatively aggressive, which is one more reason to be a driver with a keen eye. If driving through Maple Street, be alert as jaywalking is common in the area.
As Murfreesboro morning rush hour starts early at 6am, you should be on the road at least 30min before then. The traffic is worse between 7am and 7:30am but returns to normal levels at about 8:30am. In the afternoon, the rush hour runs last between 3:30pm and 6:30pm. During these times, I-24 is synonymous with heavy traffic. Thus, you should start driving early enough if traveling to a time-sensitive event.
Driving cheap car rentals in Murfreesboro gives you the flexibility to visit nearby destinations. You don't have to board buses that travel at specific hours to various towns. High Point Climbing & Fitness is the best driving place if you love outdoor activities. It's 83 (134km) miles southeast of Murfreesboro and only a two-hour drive from the city. Another destination is Mammoth Cave National Park, approximately 86 miles (138) north of the city and 2h 10min drive. Shiloh National Military Park is your best destination if you enjoy long drives. It's located about 120 miles (193km) southwest of the city and a 2h 40min drive.
Renting a 4x4 rental car is the best choice for personal or non-business reasons for cheap car rentals in Murfreesboro. It enables you to drive in urban, inter-urban, and secondary streets conveniently. Car rental agencies provide various models, including SUVs and vans. Again, you can get to several destinations despite driving in the city's muddy, rocky, and snowy road conditions. Further, Murfreesboro has varying speed limits near schools and crossing zones of 25 mph (40km/h) to ensure people's safety. Therefore, using a 4x4 rental car helps you to descend at slower speeds, avoid getting stuck in the mud, and drive on steep declines and inclines.
Murfreesboro streets have numerous crosswalks for pedestrians. Again, most roads have numerous marked sidewalks for pedestrian safety. However, some streets, such as Mercury Boulevard, lack sidewalks between Baird Lane and Hancock Street. This means you should watch out for pedestrians when driving your rental vehicle along these two streets. In addition, the roads have signposts displaying speed bumps, crossroads, and the intersection of major highways. Hence, check your GPS to see the busy streets and best routes to drive on throughout the city before driving your rental car. Also, contact customer care to help you understand safe roads in the city.

The warning light saying "maintenance required return to the dealer for service" light came on and the lane line alarm was an unfamiliar and unwelcome feature on the car. I contacted road side assistance and decided to wait and return the car the next day to the pick up site. I received good service from the staff and was told the mechanic just forgot to turn off the warning sign. The lane line alarm was supposedly disabled but it didn't stay off. The car was not in good shape from an electronics standpoint and caused me concern about its reliability while driving it. The key fob and automatic car lock was very slow almost unreliable to lock and unlock, the trunk would not open with the key fob or the button inside the car.. The staff in the rental office was friendly, helpful and kind. They didn't have the inventory to give me a different car after reporting the issues or the skills to fix the problems with the car I was assigned. Disappointing experience overall.
The staff were friendly, the car was clean and road quite well, and the price was the best in town.
Cons:
If it had been cheaper

I received a voicemail from Hertz Corporation stating I was late turning in my car. I turned in my car six days ago prior to the voicemail. After I hung up with corporate, I drove to the car rental location because I was in the area. As it turned out, my contract was not closed! A worker took care of it, and I am currently waiting for an email showing that my contract has been closed.
