KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Oak Ridge

  • Oak Ridge, TN, has several impressive attractions and hidden gems. It is most known for its scenic parks and museums. With so many iconic landmarks, you will never regret visiting the city. But you need convenient and comfortable transportation to explore these locations. Oak Ridge car rentals offer convenience, comfort, flexibility, and peace of mind. Car rentals in Oak Ridge win out when visiting popular places like the American Museum of Science & Energy, K-25 History Center, Children's Museum of Oak Ridge, Manhattan Project National Historical Park, and Melton Lake Greenway.
  • Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) is about 26 miles from Oak Ridge city center. Your flight will likely land here if you are flying into the city. You can also land at Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA), about 101 miles from the city center. It's convenient if you don't intend to go to the city center. The car rental desks at TYS are in the Arrivals Hall. If you opt for CHA, the car rental counters are in the terminal building just before the baggage claim area. The common agencies are Alamo, Easirent, Hertz, National, Enterprise, and Budget.
  • As a small city in Tennessee, finding narrow roads and one-way streets in Oak Ridge is unsurprising. But driving in the city is still manageable with keen attention to detail. The city has sharp corners and several roundabouts. Drive carefully and ensure adequate visibility when negotiating corners and navigating roundabouts. Although encountering jaywalking is uncommon, drive cautiously in thickly populated areas to keep pedestrians and cyclists safe. Remain sober when behind the wheel, as the city has a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving.
  • With narrow roads and tiny streets, encountering heavy traffic when driving car rentals in Oak Ridge during peak travel hours is natural. It is also unsurprising because most cities in Tennessee experience traffic snarl-ups during rush hours. Usually, traffic snarl-ups are witnessed in the city from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. It is recommended not to drive during peak travel hours to avoid heavy traffic. However, if you must drive during rush hours, steer clear of busy roads like Administration Road, Adelphi Road, and Dams Road.

Dale (customer service) was Great, efficient, quick, got me an upgraded car because the original was too small for me to be comfortable for the week. I needed to extend my rental for a few days...he actually answered the phone, accessed my account, took care of it in under a minute. You guys have a very happy customer for the future. One thing though...I think the former customer ignored the NO SMOKING, I think it was in the recirculate air mode filter.

Pros:

Everyone at this location are very helpful and professional.

Cons:

I would really like it if Enterprise put floor mats back into cars. It is much easier to clean a rubber floor mat than a carpet before returning the rental.

I had reserved a full size SUV Chevy Tahoe and when I got there they had a Hyundai palisades which is a much smaller vehicle. They said it was the same thing because hertz goes by that there is a third row. But I needed the interior space not the need to sit a bunch of people. It was extremely frustrating and stressful. It delayed my trip by 3hrs.

2023 Toyota Camry. Wow! The technology! Great gas mileage. ECO mode, cruising at 62 mph, we were getting 44.9 MPG! The staff both pick up and return (TY2 ?) were fabulous! Only negative, the Camry 24000+/- was soiled. Someone we believe had smoked in the car. The interior windshield was dirty. Dash had been wiped, but not cleaned. Did I tell you we got 44.9 MPG!!! Who cares if the interior windshield was dirty! We'll be back!

I picked up the car an hour early and was charged an extra $10 for the privilege. Never mind that I asked if it was okay to pick it up an hour early and nothing was said about being charged for an extra hour - or the fact that I returned it 16 hours early - which was also mentioned at the time of pick-up. It's bad enough that rental car prices are extremely high right now, but to gouge the customers even more is pretty crappy. Nice car and - aside from the price gouging - great customer service.

Customer Service was great, although the car I received was questionable. It was a bare-bones vehicle reeking of smoke and of questionable safety. Well over 50,000 miles on it, numerous stains and only one working window. And to top it off, I was charged twice as much as I would have been for a brand new vehicle at the beginning of the year.

So I went to pick up a vehicle. They did not have what I asked for so he wants to give me a different vehicle. I ask him if I have any other option beside what he wants to give me simply he was just so rude. He said that’s all what I have whether you want it or not And then it’s OK. I will take that one then he said you know what I don’t want to give you vehicle Anymore and he said he’s also a owner over there so you don’t have to worry about complaining anybody that was super rude. I never ever go to that place anymore.
