Important information about Atlanta car rentals

Car rentals in Atlanta are an effective way to get the most out of a visit to Georgia’s capital. There are a handful of rental car locations in Atlanta and the immediate surrounding area, so you can grab one and start your trip by exploring nearby attractions, like Six Flags Over Georgia, or you can head straight out on a day trip to one of the many surrounding national parks or cities, like the Chattahoochee National Forest or Augusta. Traveling to either park is easy since several major interstates, like I-20, I-285, I-75, I-85, and I-575, all provide service to the Greater Atlanta area. When you’re not navigating the intricate roadway systems, there are ample places throughout the city that provide parking, allowing you to explore by foot.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Atlanta?

While there are a few neighborhoods in Atlanta that are walkable, like Midtown, Buckhead Village, and Downtown, the city is best accessed by vehicle. While the city has MARTA transportation, coverage is not extensive and car rentals are a great way to explore with autonomy. And with a significant number of parking lots, garages, and metered spots available, there are many places to store your rental while not in use. An economy car rental is a good option if you’re staying in the Greater Atlanta area, giving you access to places like the Georgia Aquarium, where parking spots may be tight, and Six Flags Over Georgia, which is to the west of Atlanta. Cheap car rentals in Atlanta also grant you access to places like Augusta, Chattanooga, the Chattahoochee National Forest, or The Allman Brothers Museum, all of which are within a couple of hour’s drive. Interstates 85 and 20, among others, which run straight through Atlanta, make these spots accessible.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Atlanta?

Atlanta’s driving laws are fairly consistent with national regulations. For example, you’re prohibited from driving if you have a BAC—blood alcohol content—of .08% or higher. There are hefty penalties for failure to comply with this restriction, so rather than take your Atlanta car rental for a night out at the bars, you may want to opt for a taxi or an Uber/Lyft/ride-share app service. Keep in mind that it is illegal to use your cellphone while driving, which includes both texting and making phone calls. Unless there is a sign that specifically states it is prohibited, you are allowed to make a right-hand turn on a red light. When driving on a freeway or interstate, you should always stay out of the left-hand lane unless you are passing another vehicle. If you are driving in a construction zone, always yield to maintenance vehicles and workers. Georgia traffic laws also require that all front-seat passengers wear a seatbelt and all back seat passengers aged 17 and younger must buckle up too. Children seven and below must be secured in a child’s seat, which can be obtained along with many car rentals in Atlanta. If you’re unclear regarding any statutes, check with Atlanta’s department of motor vehicles for any recent changes in traffic laws.

Can I drive into Mexico in a rental car from Atlanta?

Because this area is a relatively short drive from the border, it’s not uncommon for travelers to use car rentals in Atlanta to drive to nearby cities in Mexico. Most major car rental companies are fine with their customers doing this, but make sure to check with your chosen agency before embarking on your journey. If you’re hoping to travel to Mexico with an Atlanta car rental, keep in mind that you will need to secure Mexican automobile liability insurance before crossing the border. Many rental companies allow you to do this directly through them for an additional fee. In addition to this particular type of insurance, renters must have a driver’s license issued by the government that will not expire during your rental period. Because you will be traveling to a different country, you will also need a passport. You may use a United States-issued passport card as well.

Can you rent a rental car in Atlanta without a credit card?

When reserving car rentals in Atlanta, even cheap car rentals in Atlanta, most companies prefer that you pay for your reservation with a credit card. Some companies will accept alternative payments, such as debit cards, but you may need to be 25 years or older to use this form of payment. When paying with a debit card, a company may also ask you to undergo a credit check or provide proof of insurance or address. Some companies accept prepaid cards, but many do not. Depending on your specific company and location, you may be allowed to pay with either cash or check. If you pay with a credit card, debit card, or check, keep in mind that the name on this form of payment should always match the name on the driver’s license that will be used.

What documents does an international traveler need to rent a car in Atlanta?

Even if you don’t have a driver’s license issued by the United States, you will usually still be able to rent a car in Atlanta, as long as you are able to provide a few additional documents. Almost every car rental company will accept a valid international driver’s license. Many foreign driver’s licenses are accepted as well, but some companies may require them to be in an alphabet that is Latin-based. If this is not the case, the company may ask for you to obtain an official translation from an external company. You will also need to provide the rental car company with your original passport from your home country. In general, the company will take a photocopy of this document and keep it in your file. Your passport and your driver’s license cannot expire during your rental period. In Georgia, you must be at least 21 years old to rent a car, and renters under the age of 25 may also need to pay an extra fee.
