Best Atlanta driving roads

Purple squiggle

The Suches Loop

Running in a circle through the Chattahoochee National Forest and Blue Ridge Mountains, this route known as “Georgia’s Dragon,” challenges drivers with more than 50 miles of tight turns and elevation changes.

North Georgia Scenic Highway 197

More scenic than daring, this highway runs by three lovely Georgia lakes and was once the preferred route of bootleggers during prohibition, which is to say it’s a less crowded drive.

Appalachian Foothills Parkway

Wind through the North Georgia mountains on the exciting twists of GA 515 and GA 52 toward Ellijay to catch striking views of the Amicalola Falls and Brasstown Bald Peak.

Frequently asked questions in Atlanta

To rent a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 18 years old or older in the US, 21 years old or older in Australia, or 23 years old or older in Canada.

In the UK, you must be 21 years old or older and have held a UK or EU license for at least one year, or another driver’s license for at least two years.

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you or decline coverage in some cases. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance provided under a policy from Travelers — up to $750,000 for the Premier plan.*

How do I get discounts on cars in Atlanta?

What types of car rental alternatives can I book in Atlanta?

Browse the widest selection of Atlanta car rental alternatives for every occasion and budget on Turo. Find an SUV rental alternative for a family road trip, an Atlanta truck rental alternative for some errands, or an exotic sports car rental alternative for a special night out in Atlanta.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Atlanta?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Are there cars available near the Atlanta airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Atlanta airport. After arriving at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport or Dekalb-Peachtree Airport, have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Atlanta hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle.

What types of sports cars, luxury cars, or exotics can I book in Atlanta?

You can find nearly endless options for sports cars, luxury cars, and high-performance exotics in Atlanta on Turo. Filter your search by category, vehicle type, or vehicle make to refine your results, or try the “Deluxe Class” and “Super Deluxe Class” filters to browse high-end luxury car rental alternatives in Atlanta.

What’s the best way to get around Atlanta?

The best and fastest way to get around the Atlanta area is by booking a car on Turo, so you can explore every urban hot spot and outdoor activity Georgia has to offer at your own pace.

You can explore downtown Atlanta, Peachtree Street, and most major neighborhoods with Atlanta’s transit system, MARTA, but the city covers a sprawling area so car travel is your best bet. Atlanta’s traffic is notably heavy, especially during rush hour, so plan your travel schedule accordingly.
