KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sanford

  • Using car rentals in Sanford offers numerous advantages. With a rental car, you can explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace, enjoying the convenience of personalized travel. Unlike public transport, which might have limitations on destinations and schedules, a rental car allows you to visit off-the-beaten-path attractions and make spontaneous stops. It's especially advantageous for families or groups, as it offers cost-effective mobility and eliminates the need to adhere to fixed routes or timetables. With Sanford car rentals, you can visit areas like the picturesque Jordan Lake State Recreation Area, the historic Railroad House Museum, and the serene San-Lee Park.
  • Raleigh/Durham (RDU) Airport and Fayetteville Municipal (FAY) are the most convenient airports to land at when you visit Sanford by air. The RDU car rental companies provide complimentary shuttle service to their offices located on the airport premises. To reach your rental car, take the designated shuttle bus for your rental company from the green Rental Car shuttle stops outside the baggage claim zone. At Terminal 1, the shuttle stop is identified as Zone 4, while at Terminal 2, it is situated in Zone 5. The FAY rental facility is situated within the confines of the baggage claim region, while the area for picking up rental vehicles is located just a brief distance from there.
  • Driving car rentals in Sanford is a fun experience. Driving in Sanford generally involves a calm and relaxed driving atmosphere. Drivers tend to respect traffic rules, contributing to a safer experience. While the city sees a mix of vehicles, the common ones include sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Bicycles and pedestrians are less prevalent on the roads, and jaywalking is uncommon. The driving style is courteous, making it a pleasant and predictable environment for travelers using car rentals to explore Sanford.
  • Driving car rentals in Sanford can pose challenges during peak hours, particularly morning (7 am to 9 am) and evening (5 pm to 7 pm) rush hours. Traffic congestion is more likely along significant roads like US-1 and NC-87, affecting commute times. Downtown streets may be trickier due to narrower lanes and limited parking spaces. Avoid peak times if possible, and consider using navigation apps for real-time traffic updates. You might also encounter occasional road maintenance or construction, leading to detours or temporary road closures.

So when you book something online and pay one fee and then they change the fee price when you get there which is not stated during booking so the experience was bad so I just walked away from the buy all together already was paying 100 bucks for one day then they say there is a 300 deposit fee naw it don’t work like that I will never ever rent a car again.
