Rent a car and explore Augusta, GA

Things to do and places to see in Augusta, GA

Straddling the borders of Georgia and South Carolina, Augusta offers activities for everyone. From sports fans to history buffs and culture cravers to foodies, you'll always find something perfect for you. Here are just a few of the many things Augusta has to offer.

Rent the perfect car
Augusta, GA

Masters Golf Tournament

Augusta is probably best known for The Masters Tournament, held the first week of April every year. As one of the four major men's golf tournaments, The Masters Tournament sees around 40,000 attendees descend on the Augusta National Golf Club. It's one of the hardest sporting events to get tickets for, coming second only to the Super Bowl. With four 18-hole rounds televised across the United States, it's quite possibly the quietest exciting event possible.

Augusta Museum of History

Did you know that President Woodrow Wilson spent a good chunk of his boyhood in Augusta? Or that the "Godfather of Soul," James Brown himself, was raised in the city? You can learn all that and more at the Augusta Museum of History. Discover Augusta's Story, a permanent exhibit spanning 12,000 years of local history, learn more about the traditions of golf in the city, or see how many legendary figures Augusta has given the country — all for just $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 6-18.

Augusta Black History Pass

Augusta has produced trailblazers and culture-creating icons, from actor Laurence Fishburne and Grammy-winning opera singer Jessye Norman to Lucy Craft Laney, who founded the city's first school for Black children. With the Augusta Black History Pass, you'll embark on a journey throughout Augusta to experience the rich legacy through museums, landmarks, and more.

Augusta car rentals for any occasion

Road trip car rental

With Atlanta two hours away and Columbia, South Carolina just one, road tripping through Augusta is a great idea. Take a Hyundai Elantra Hybrid or Toyota Camry Hybrid and make it to Atlanta and back in just a single tank. Exploring any of the nearby state parks? A Jeep Cherokee or Toyota 4Runner will give you the rugged ride you need in the great outdoors.

Long-term car rental

Considering it's one of the state's largest metropolitan areas, Augusta is a great place to stay long-term. Downtown Augusta is easy enough to navigate by foot or bike, but the majority of the city is better suited for vehicles. An Audi A6 can let you ride in luxury while you explore the city, or you can opt for a Chevrolet Spark to go the eco-friendly route and eke out every last bit of mileage you can.

The Masters Tournament car rental

As one of the biggest events Augusta sees, The Masters Tournament is the perfect time to rent a car. Take a Honda Accord for that 20-minute drive from AGS to Augusta National, or pick up a Mercedes-Benz C-Class for luxurious surroundings just in case you get stuck in that Masters traffic.

Make the most of your visit by starting out in South Carolina's capital city, Columbia. Just an hour away from the heart of Augusta, it is home to the state's largest university, the University of South Carolina.

Top tips for renting a car in Augusta


Beating the heat in the Savannah River and chowing down great grub at Sheehan's are just a few ways to make the best of your time in Augusta. Of course, a rental car gives you the flexibility to make it from Sheehan's to Phinizy Swamp Nature Park without worrying about not having your own transportation. Prep for cruising this historic city with these tips.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Augusta?


Driving isn't much to worry about throughout Augusta. Some areas, like Grovetown, can be more congested than others. The Masters Tournament is definitely something to be aware of, too, with the thousands of guests it puts on the Augusta streets.


Otherwise, the roadways are pretty smooth sailing throughout. Like the rest of Georgia, you'll tend to see speed limits of 30 mph throughout both residential and urban areas. Perhaps the most important thing to be aware of is the rainy season throughout March and April, which can make roadways slicker than normal. Be sure to check the weather and traffic before you head out!


What is parking like in Augusta?


Parking is easily available throughout Augusta. Downtown Augusta alone boasts 950 parking spots! There's a large parking garage on Winthrop Street, with other lots scattered throughout the area. Be on the lookout, though — some parking spaces are good only for limited times, varying from 30 minutes to two hours.


Are there toll roads in Augusta?


Great news: there are no toll roads in or near Augusta! Camp out at Clarks Hill Lake, explore the downtown district, or find your new favorite restaurant all without worrying about a single toll.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Augusta?


As the second-largest metropolitan area in the Peach State, Augusta has plenty of gas stations and EV chargers. The same can't be said if you make your way out to the nearby state parks. Although there are some gas stations along the major freeways like the 221, EV charging stations are few and far between once you get out of the city.


Do I need to rent a car in Augusta?


Sure, you can get by without renting a car if you're sticking just to Downtown Augusta. But even if you want to head there from Augusta Regional Airport, renting a vehicle is a great idea. It would take over an hour to walk from AGS to Downtown Augusta alone, so save yourself some time and make that journey in 11 minutes with a cheap car rental instead.

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.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
