KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in West Memphis

  • Using car rentals in West Memphis offers several advantages over relying solely on the city's public transportation system. Firstly, a West Memphis car rental provides convenience and flexibility, enabling you to explore the city and its surroundings at your desired speed and schedule. Public transportation in the city may have limited routes and schedules, making it less convenient for visiting specific attractions or locations off the beaten path. Having a rental car gives you the freedom to easily reach attractions such as the Mississippi River State Park, Southland Casino Racing, and the National Civil Rights Museum, which are better accessed by car.
  • The car rental counters at Memphis Airport (MEM) are located in the Ground Transportation Center, just a short walk from the terminal. To get there from the arrivals hall, follow the signs for Ground Transportation or Rental Cars. Once you exit the terminal, you'll find a covered walkway that leads directly to the Ground Transportation Center. The car rental desks are conveniently located inside the center. When renting a car at Memphis Airport, it's recommended to make a reservation in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates. Many major car rental companies, such as Hertz, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National, operate at the airport. Make sure to have a valid driver's license and a major credit card in your name.
  • When driving car rentals in West Memphis, it's important to familiarize yourself with the local driving culture and road conditions. The driving culture in West Memphis is generally relaxed, with drivers exhibiting courtesy and obeying traffic rules. However, it's essential to stay vigilant and cautious at all times. The road conditions in West Memphis are typically well-maintained, with smooth surfaces and clear signage. As for general road use, it's important to be aware of pedestrians and cyclists, especially in busy urban areas. While jaywalking is uncommon, yielding to pedestrians and exercising caution when encountering them is crucial.
  • Driving car rentals in West Memphis can be challenging during peak hours, typically between 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm, when rush hour congestion occurs. Main thoroughfares like Interstate 40 and Interstate 55 can experience heavy traffic during these times. To bypass congestion, consider using alternative routes such as local roads. It's worth noting that weather conditions can impact driving in West Memphis, particularly during winter, when icy roads can be hazardous.

The person said cars are not avaipable even if they had cars and l have already prebooked it. Later the person said he will figure out something and gave one of the car as I was with the family there which are quite older. The questions asked during the car pickup were also quite irrelevant as compared to my previous experiences. Nobody asked me earlier who is your employer and give me your insurance details for some reason. Also, how the car appeared available suddenly after seeing I will be there standing figuring out what to do next. The car didn't had any viper fluid also. I am thankful that I finally got the car but the dealing and not giving the car in the first time either thinking to make it available for higher prices for future booking or some other reason.

Pros:

Staff are unfriendly. The pick-up is inconvenient and disorganized. There is garbage and standing water all over the parking garage and car rental area. We didn't get the car we booked. We had no assistance with our child seat. The car we picked up was dirty and not in great shape. The overall pick up experience took more than an hour. I hate you all.

Cons:

Y'all need to up your game. You should be ashamed of the way these businesses are ran.

4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, Feb 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Drop off was smooth other than the fact employee checked out customer who returned car after me first as he was more aggressive to the window.

Cons:

Wait time for car, I reserved in advance, was well over an hour. Then desk staff asked me if I wanted to wait “ for my car” or take a mid size SUV upgrade. I asked if there was a charge, she said yes yet could not tell me how much til she ran my credit card. Then proceeded to tell me it was$11 more for the wkd, and at frustration to just get a car I agreed. My car was not an upgrade as I was to have an intermediate suv like “ a Nissan Rogue”. In fact I got a compact Nissan Kicks which my 6’5” passenger hardly fit. Just irritated that you charged ME extra, Gabe me a smaller car, and could do so because customers are already angry waiting for so long to get out of the airport

8.0 Very good

Brenda, Dec 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

I appreciated that I got the vehicle I requested.

Cons:

My truck had no tags on it. My pickup was for 4 pm, but I vwas told that I would have to either go to the airport in the truck with no tags or wait until someone from the airport could bring it. I couldn't believe they asked me to drive a truck with no tags. Eventually some tags were put on the truck and I was on my way.

6.0 Okay

Ryan, Jul 2020

Pros:

My vehicle was in the shop so needed a last minute vehicle. It was a good size. After cleaning it we were able to use for exactly what was needed a short vacation.

Cons:

The car was very dirty, it wasn’t vacuumed. I had to dis infect it when I got it home. The windshield was cracked and drips of drinks and what not on the doors and seats. For having to pay $65 per day it was pretty gross.
