Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Louisville
- Driving Louisville SUV rentals is an ideal way to see this vibrant city located on the northwestern border of Kentucky. Because the city is situated so close to both Indiana and Ohio, you could drive Louisville SUV rentals to explore the city of Louisville itself, or go beyond city limits to Lexington in Kentucky, Bloomington in Indiana, or Cincinnati in Ohio. In your SUV, you and your business colleagues, friends, or family can travel around in cool, easy, relaxed comfort as you stretch out with plenty of room for briefcases, backpacks, and souvenirs.
- For those with reservations for Louisville SUV rentals, keep in mind that some car rental agencies require you to either purchase car rental agency insurance or bring proof of your own coverage. If you plan to opt out of agency coverage, bring screenshots or photocopies of either your personal car insurance policy or your credit card policy to prove to the agency that your Louisville SUV rental will be insured. If you forget to bring proof, you may be required to purchase insurance before you leave the lot with the SUV.
- If you want to pick up your SUV rental in Louisville, but drop it off in another city or another state, many car rental agencies in Louisville will allow this one-way rental. When you call to make your reservation for your SUV rental, tell the car rental agency that you want a one-way rental and where you want to drop it off, so they have time to arrange all the necessary details with the destination agency. Keep in mind that a one-way rental usually costs a bit more than a rental where you pick up and drop off in the same location.
- Driving Louisville SUV rentals should be relatively stress-free. Roads are logically laid out in Louisville and clearly marked, with speed limits of 35 mph unless otherwise posted. Try to avoid peak rush hour traffic between 7:30 am to 9 am and then from 4 pm to 6 pm. However, if you must be on the roads at these times, consider investing in a GPS add-on to help you navigate around the worst traffic congestion. Rush hour traffic tends to be the most congested along I-65, I-71, and I-64.

Pros:
The car was nice/cleanCons:
I reserved a car for 12pm ET. Upon arrival, I was told there were no available cars and would need to wait a few hours until other drivers return their vehicles. I was stuck at the airport with nowhere to go, finally got a car around 2:30pm but didn't arrive in the evening until late Saturday evening. When I originally inquired about how there were no cars available despite confirming a reservation the week before, the front desk employees got a bit defensive. In the end, I made it to my destination. But it was a pretty bad experience overall.Hertz

Pros:
Car was clean, drop off was easy.Cons:
When I arrived, there were no cars available. There was a group of about 15 of us that were told we had to wait 2-3 hours for a car, this after standing in line for an hour just to check in.2.0 Poor

Pros:
I can't say anything positive about dollar.Cons:
I had to wait an hour and a half for a vehicle. The car they gave me wasn't as nice as what I booked. It smelled like incense and vape. I would not recommend booking with Dollar. Kayak was trying to pass me off to Budget to resolve the issue. Dollar was telling me to talk to Kayak. I do not like renting through third party companies such as Kayak. No accountability or care for the customer.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Nov 2020
Pros:
Agent at desk was friendlyCons:
I was assigned a car but it was not in it's location. I had to find an employee to find another car for me, which took about 15 minutes. The car I received was dirty and definitely wasn't cleaned beyond pre-covid standards. I'm not a germ freak, but greasy fingerprints on the screen and doors and a greasy feeling steering wheel are just nasty.6.4 Okay
Sep 2020
Pros:
Never like the "up sale" stuff.Cons:
The fact that a spouse is not free to drive?! Really in this day and time? Thrifty is on my short list to never use again.7.2 Good
Aug 2020
Pros:
The price and the vehicle was great.Cons:
At pickup, the vehicle was not ready, and had to wait. The help desk seemed to not want to be working. There was no information given about the return of the vehicle. I had to ask about return from the man working the gate, but even that was not enough. At return, there was no one to close the transaction, Just a sign saying to leave the keys in the car. I had to work with customer service for the next two days to get the extra daily charges removed from my credit card account because no one at the drop off location closed the account. I'll not rent from Thrifty and associated companies again.9.6 Wonderful

Use a different company. My flight from Afghanistan had engine problems and we did emergency landing and forced. To spend night in Bulgaria. I called in as soon as plane landed to cancel or pushback one day but agent said no help. When I finally got to Car Rental in SDF they double charged me and the rates went up to a premium of 85 dollars a day. But thank God we didn’t crash and all of us military got home to the USA safe and next time I just will not book their Kayak10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I loved driving the Ford Taurus! It was very nice and reminded me of a luxury car with the cream leather interior. The checkout process was very easy and quick! The checkin was even faster! Plus the value was amazing through Kayak.Cons:
They don't do a walkthrough with the car. My rental had a damaged console in the middle, stains on the carpet, and a burn mark. I didn't want to be held responsible so I took pictures.National

Jun 2016
Pros:
The car was clean and a nice vehicle.Cons:
The car was not ready for us at the designated time. Then the attendant said they did not have one at all. After several hours she found one at another site. All this caused stress and delayed our vacation by more than 5 hours. Then the price was even higher than originally quoted not a single discount for my inconvenience or their confusion.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
helpful desk staff and cars right there at the terminalCons:
first car was dirty and the one person in the parking lot was on a phone in a running car near us talking loud with a foul mouth. It would be better for Avis if he was cleaning the dirty car they first gave usEasirent
