KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sumter

  • Sumter is a small city located in the heart of South Carolina. While public transportation options are available in the city, renting a car can offer several advantages to visitors. First, cheap car rentals in Sumter provide flexibility and convenience. With a car, you'll have the freedom to explore the city on your own schedule and at your own pace. You won't have to worry about waiting for buses or trains, and you'll be able to avoid crowded tourist hot spots. Second, Sumter is home to several fantastic outdoor attractions that are best accessed by Sumter car rentals. These include the Swan Lake Iris Gardens and the Poinsett State Park.
  • Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is located approximately 98 miles from Sumter. The rental car offices at CLT are located on the ground level of the parking garages adjacent to the terminal. There is a shuttle bus service that runs continuously between the terminals and the rental car facility. Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) is located approximately 46 miles from Sumter. The rental car offices at CAE are located at the consolidated rental car facility, which can be reached via a shuttle bus from outside of baggage claim. Florence Regional Airport (FLO) is located approximately 30 miles from Sumter. The rental car offices at FLO are located in the terminal building, which is located directly across from baggage claim. While FLO and CAE are closer, CLT is larger. This means you will have more options for a Sumter car rental at CLT, but will get to driving your car rental in Sumter sooner if you get one from FLO or CAE.
  • When driving cheap car rentals in Sumter, it is important to be aware of your surroundings. One unique sign to look out for is the "No Turn on Red" sign. This means you cannot make a right turn on a red light, so wait for the green light instead. Bicycles are not common, but there are many trucks on the highways, so expect large-vehicle traffic when driving your Sumter car rental.
  • Rush hour traffic in Sumter typically occurs in the morning from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and in the evening from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The most affected roads during rush hour are probably the main ones leading to and from the city center, such as Broad Street and Manning Road. Certain seasons might also present some difficulties for driving cheap car rentals in Sumter. During the winter months between December to February, there is a chance of snow and ice on the roads, which can make driving hazardous. Furthermore, some roads in rural areas can become musky and muddy during wet weather, so it is important to slow down when driving a Sumter car rental in these conditions.

Awful! We reserved a car that Kayak stated was available through Enterprise; however, within an hour or two we received a call that there were no cars available. Kayak needs to correct this situation. I've always had success with Kayak, but this was a very bad experience.

Arrived at my time to get my minivan when we pulled up we noticed there was no minivans in the parking lot of the manager there said that she tried to call me on Sunday at 12:30. When I told her that I was in church, she giggled and said oh I didn’t know you go to church. And said that she gave my car away at 1:30 30 minutes before my schedule time to pick up the car that I had reserved three weeks in advance. her and her assistant, then proceeded to walk outside and get on the phone . Will not return.
