Give this location a try if you're renting in-town (it is a long way from the airport). The location is convenient, easy to access and the rate was unbeatable.
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tallahassee
With not one but several huge national parks just around the corner, it is a good idea to rent a car for your next trip to Tallahassee and discover the beauty of the city as well as the surrounding areas. Explore every nook and cranny of Tallahassee, from the Tallahassee Museum in the southwest, to the Automobile Museum in the very northeast. Get the most out of your trip on your own wheels and also explore some breathtaking nature beyond the city borders.
If you fly into Tallahassee International Airport, the most convenient way to start your journey is by choosing to rent a car directly from there. Various agencies offer their vehicles to be picked up from the airport garage, so you can be in the center of Tallahassee in about 15 minutes. Keep in mind that there is no public service running between the airport and the city, so you would otherwise have to get an expensive cab or Uber to get to your next destination.
The state of Florida has many toll roads so, if you’re planning on leaving Tallahassee, make sure to have enough change to pay the tolls (about $1). There is also the Move Over law enforced now in the state, which means if there is an emergency vehicle on the side of the road, drivers have to slow down 20 mph from the original speed, or move into the left lane.
Try to avoid the rush hours in Tallahassee for a smooth and hassle-free driving experience. Usually, peak times are on weekdays between 7 and 8:30am and 5 and 6:30pm. During that time, especially Monroe Street, Tennessee Street, and Apalachee Parkway can be severely congested, and familiarizing with the one-way streets of Duval or Bronnough can be helpful to circumnavigate the main routes.
Tallahassee has numerous scenic routes to explore. You can book cheap car rentals in Tallahassee and drive along the Miccosukee canopy road to the Indian village or enjoy the landscaped corridor linking historic districts in Monticello and Tallahassee along Fred Mahan Drive. To ensure an incident-free drive throughout the sunshine state, you must give way to pedestrians, cars at an intersection, and emergency service vehicles. A right-of-way violation resulting in an accident is a criminal offense under Florida law that’s subject to fines or license suspension or revocation.
Tallahassee, Florida, has numerous couples and family-oriented activities. If you are nature lovers, you can drive to the 80,000 acres of St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, drop by the Museum of Florida History, or have a relaxing lunch with the little ones at Cascades Park. If you’re traveling with a minor(s), keep them secured in the age-appropriate booster seat. Additionally, to comply with Florida’s laws and keep everyone safe on the road, ensure all passengers inside Tallahassee car rentals wear seat belts.
Major car hire agencies with a counter at the Tallahassee Airport most likely have an off-site office. If you’re looking for a convenient pickup or drop-off spot, you can choose one of the 21 car rental locations in Tallahassee. For example, there is an Enterprise location on 628 N Monroe St., Avis on 1414 S Monroe St, a Hertz on 3204 W Tennessee St West, or 2353 Apalachee Pkwy, and Alamo on 3300 Capital Cir SW, to mention a few. When filling out the reservation form, select a return location and add a pickup date and time, including the drop-off date and time.

Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Allowing a different pay option if failed credit check. It’s frustrating when you have the funds but are still turned away because of credit

They Don't answer the phone in Tallahassee. Our flight was delayed, we called repeatedly to let then know. They ended up giving our car to someone else. Hope we get our money back. We had to make other arrangements to get to our destination.

I did reserve car when i get ti the place there was not cars available
Terrible. I got to the airport pick up with my reservation and there was a sign that said sorry no cars. I was stranded and had to pay over 100$ in Uber fees until I found another company that had a car the next day and ended up paying over $100 more for a car.

Excellent car. Customer service agent at the counter in Tallahassee was friendly and efficient.
I would have liked to know the car was 3/4 full of fuel before I got to the car.

Economy
The car itself was fine, other than the major crack all the way down the front windshield. I have experienced significant billing issues. I had a one way rental and have experienced significant overbooking. I dropped the car off on time, and three days later, the location I dropped off at had not closed out my reservation (according to my local location). I was informed my billing would be resolved. Since then, I have received three more charges, and now see I have been charged about $2.000 for a $109.00 trip. I get to spend more time today trying to sort this out and I am not happy.
I was promised unlimited mileage. First it said my rental will be at the airport then changed to another building on blountstown highway. They didn't have the car I requested and had to downgrade to a smaller vehicle. Had to pay .51 extra for every mile over 200 miles. Bad experience for me.

Passenger van
This rental site is NOT at the airport - it’s about 10 minutes away at a used car lot. The van reserved was not available at pickup time, and we had to come back later in the day to switch out a 5 seater car for the correct car reserved (7 seater). There was no transportation to the airport after drop off, and we had to secure our own transportation early in the morning in an unfamiliar location. The tank was only half full when we picked up, and an alert for low tire pressure went off during the rental period. The sliding doors tried to close while someone was in their way, and the engine took a long time to turn over whenever we started it. Very unsatisfactory experience.
