Top tips for renting a car in Atlanta
Atlanta is a thriving city with millions of drivers, making renting a car here common and convenient. Before you arrive, brush up on local laws, traffic tips, and travel advice to ensure your journey is a safe one.
How does airport pickup work near Atlanta Airport?
At Atlanta (Hartsfield-Jackson) Airport, you can collect your rental car from Turo at a convenient, easily accessible location off airport grounds, such as a parking garage, local business, or nearby street. Use the app prior to your arrival so that once you land, all you need to do is grab your bags and make your way to the pickup spot. Collect the keys directly or a secure drop box, then head off on your Atlanta adventure.
How does drop-off work near Atlanta Airport?
Leaving Georgia via Atlanta Airport? It's simple to return the car you rented on Turo — just communicate through the app at least a few days prior to your departure to confirm exactly where you'll meet or leave the vehicle. On the day, park the car and complete the handover per the pre-arranged instructions.
How far is Atlanta International Airport from downtown Atlanta?
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is located 15 to 40 minutes (approximately 11 miles) south of downtown Atlanta by car, with travel time varying based on traffic and time of day. After you've safely deplaned, collected your luggage, and get settled behind the wheel of your car rental, the drive is straightforward along the I-85 and I-75 (the Downtown Connector). Be sure to factor in extra travel time if you're driving during rush hour, as these roads get extremely congested.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Atlanta?
Atlanta is a busy, bustling city, home to millions of people across the greater metropolitan area and consequently, millions of cars. Driving here follows standard Georgia laws that you’ll observe across the rest of the U.S., such as sticking to the right-hand side of the road, always wearing a seatbelt, and observing road signs and speed limits. Handheld cellphone use is illegal thanks to Georgia’s Hands-Free Law, which dictates drivers cannot hold a phone while operating their vehicle. Right turns on red are permitted unless posted otherwise.
Speed limits in Atlanta usually start at around 25 to 35 miles per hour (mph) in residential areas, followed by 35 to 45 mph on city streets and 55 to 70 mph on major highways. Georgia’s Super Speeder Law enforces strict state and local fines for going over 75 mph on two-lane roads and 85 mph on highways.
Traffic is perhaps the biggest thing to take into account in Atlanta. The city’s population makes congestion extremely common, especially during peak commuter times. Major routes like the Downtown Connector (I-75 and I-85) and the Perimeter (I-285) can get extensively backed up, so it’s always worth planning your route using a navigation app if you’re in a hurry.
What is parking like in Atlanta?
Despite its continual rise in popularity, Atlanta boasts ample parking, though availability will vary based on neighborhood and the time of day and year. Downtown and Midtown both offer numerous secure parking garages to provide convenient access to offices, attractions, and event venues. In the city center, try the 31 Baker Street lot, the Courtland Garage (227 Courtland Street), or the 236 Williams Street lot and garage. In Midtown, good options include Colony Square (168 14th Street) and Azure Public Parking (1026 Piedmont Avenue).
Street parking is also available in areas like Midtown, Virginia-Highland, and Inman Park, mostly with meters and time limits. Many shopping malls and restaurants offer valet or limited parking, making it easier to drive to your destination without stressing about where to leave your rental car. The further out of the city you travel, the easier it becomes to find accessible and affordable street parking options.
Are there toll roads in Atlanta?
While Atlanta doesn't have traditional toll roads, it operates Georgia Express Lanes on various common routes including sections of the I-75, I-85, I-285, and GA-400 (Georgia State Route 400). These optional tolls allow drivers to access less congested lanes of the road during peak travel times, so unless you're in a rush, you won't have to factor toll costs into your Atlanta budget. To pay for tolls in Georgia, you'll need a Peach Pass, as there are no cash booths on any of Georgia's highways. Use the Turo app before you set off to confirm how tolls are handled for your vehicle.
Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Atlanta?
There are over 6 million people living in the greater Atlanta area, which means the city's infrastructure is well-developed and growing by the day. Whether you're in the city center or venturing into Atlanta's outer suburbs, finding a place to fuel or charge up your rental car shouldn't be hard.
For gas, try major roads on the outskirts of the city's core, such as Northside Drive and Memorial Drive. Easy options include the 76 at 74 Northside Drive, the bp at 479 Joseph E. Boone Boulevard, and the Shell at 387 Hill Street. Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are also ample, with chargers from Tesla, ChargePoint, and Blink scattered throughout Atlanta. The Atlantic Station Parking Deck (1371 17th 1/2 St) in Midtown has several chargers, as does Georgia Power HQ's (241 Ralph McGill Boulevard) visitor parking area. Other options include shopping malls like Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza.
Do I need to rent a car in Atlanta?
Atlanta's MARTA public transit system is a solid contender for getting around without a car, operating buses, rail services, and a downtown streetcar, but it's unfortunately quite limited beyond the city center and airport connections. With tons of brilliant day trips just outside of Atlanta, spanning historic towns, state parks, and other major cities like Athens and Chattanooga, having access to a vehicle is the top choice amongst visitors and locals alike. Rent a full-size luxury SUV to tackle long journeys in comfort and style, or opt for something small but powerful to zip around on your own schedule.
What rental car types can I find on Turo in Atlanta?
When you rent a car at Atlanta Airport using Turo, you'll have a huge selection of vehicle classes at your fingertips, from compact cars and economical sedans to electric luxury SUVs, minivans, pickup trucks, performance sports cars, and much more. Find the right vehicle for your Atlanta trip, whether you're in town for business, a family getaway, or an extended stay.
Popular models include the reliable Toyota Corolla, the comfortable Chevrolet Trax, and the eye-catching Land Rover Defender, all of which are available for collection from convenient locations. Unlike other car rental companies, booking with Turo guarantees you'll always receive the same vehicle you selected at checkout, whether it's a zippy convertible or a family-friendly SUV for your entire rental period.
How much does it cost to rent a car in Atlanta?
The cost of car rental in Atlanta can vary depending on car type, booking length, extras, and delivery. For cheap car rentals in Atlanta, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.
