Car Rentals in Tennessee

The road conditions in Tennessee are pretty good. There aren't really any major highways or thruways but there's enough of a network to get to most places without having to take the interstate (which is free). During summer, it can get hot and humid, and in winter, it gets cold, so chains are necessary if you want to drive in the mountains. The places that do get snow have the appropriate roads for it and are plowed if necessary. If you're visiting during winter, then we would recommend renting a 4x4 car or one with all wheel drive. Other than that, any car will do because there aren't many major highways.

While driving in Tennessee, there are some basic laws that you should follow. Some important ones include keeping your lights on at night (which is pretty standard), and also honking if a car pulls out in front of you. This is the safest thing to do because there aren't really any shoulder lanes here so most people end up slamming on their breaks. However, by honking, you can prevent them from doing that and keep them from running into your car. This state also has a fairly low drunk driving limit, which is 0.08% so it's better to not drink at all while behind the wheel. If you're found with a BAC above this limit, you’ll get fined and/or have your license suspended.

While in Tennessee, you need to have a driver's license and a credit card for your car rental. If you don't, then there are other methods of payment like cash or paying online with the company's website. If your driver's license was issued by a state that is part of the United States, then it will be accepted as a form of ID. If it was issued by another country, then you'll either need your passport or an International Driver's Permit, which can be obtained from AAA offices in Tennessee. There are also countries that have an agreement with the United States so they can exchange driver licenses. If you're from one of those countries like Canada, Japan, or Great Britain, then you might not even need a full International Driver's Permit for your car rental.

It's recommended that you review the policy of your preferred rental company before booking.

When renting a car in Tennessee, all drivers must present a full valid driving license. An International Driving Permit is required if the driving license is written in a language different to that of the country of rental and may be necessary to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you are renting abroad, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend checking with the individual rental company you are booking with.
