  • Car rentals in Murrells Inlet allow you to move around at your own pace and visit nearby attractions without relying on limited public transit options.

With a rental car, you can take day trips to nearby attractions like Brookgreen Gardens, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, or even Charleston, which is about a two-hour drive away.
  • If you're looking to collect Murrells Inlet car rentals at an airport, the Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is a convenient option.

I was charged an extra $59 because I used a debit card. I was told that because I had a debit card and not cc they had to physically speak to my insurance agent...at 6pm on a Saturday. They would not accept my insurance information or declaration page either. Very disappointed, will never use again.

They sent me out in a car with one rapidly deflating tire and another tire very low on pressure. The problem is such that I am confident that the problems had been going on for a while. The worse tire was so bad that my adding air only delayed the deflation. So I had to take the car back to exchange it - wasting two hours of my vacation. To add insult to injury the Hertz employee who did the car swap suggested it was my fault for driving away with two bad tires. No sympathy whatsoever, and certainly no offer of compensating me for my trouble and time for THEIR ERROR IN GIVING ME A CAR WITH TWO BAD TIRES. So, yeah, a disappointment. I"ll remember this the next time I need to rent a car.

1.5 hours to get the car once in line at budget/Avis counter. Way understaffed, way to old computer system. The fast track was to unfair to the other customers in line. Budget has to invest in the company. Same to be said at MSY counter. Update the corporate computer system to swipe your driver lic and credit card and get your car that easy. Less employees needed too!!

Car was clean and comfortable. I got a small SUV rather than a full-size car, so I thought that may have cost me a bit more in gas expense, but the vehicle seemd pretty efficient. Drop-off was extremely simple. I was somewhat distressed about an alleged $450 cleaning fee associated with sand in the vehicle, given that I picked up from an airport with "beach" in the name. I thought that was ludicrous. I ended up using car wash vacuums to be sure I wouldn't be charged. Otherwise everything was good.

Pros:

Rental itself was great, clean, ran great. Great rental.

Cons:

On pick-up, they said I had booked the wrong location even though my reservation was for the correct location, which I showed them. The person ahead of me in line had the same problem. Also, when I dropped off the rental they tried to charge a weekly rate even though I had spoken with the agent at pick up about converting it back over to a daily rate after the rental was up (which was reflected in my contract). Although a manager corrected the problem after I showed her proof, the initial agent was incompetent and did not know what he was doing. The manager had to show him twice. Also, the parking attendant was rude at drop off until he realized that I was correct. Would probably not use national through kayak again- too much of a hassle when you are traveling!

Pros:

I like that I got a free upgrade and a reduced rate from the woman working the desk at Myrtle Beach International Airport. I presented her with my paperwork and the airport was the WRONG airport in Myrtle Beach (the private airport - Not MYR which is the airport code for the International Airport). The whole booking had to be cancelled, the insurance had to be cancelled and everything had to be rebooked.

Cons:

That the airport code for Myrtle Beach (MYR) is the incorrect booking code to get a car rental! Who came up with that idea?!
