Top tips for renting a car in Clarksville


Whether you're in town for a business conference or taking a summer vacation, renting a car gives you the flexibility to control where you go and what vehicle you use to get there. Before starting your next adventure, read these car rental tips.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Clarksville?


Clarksville is a car-centric city that doesn't get as busy as Knoxville and Memphis, so driving isn't too challenging. When you take your car or truck on the road, keep a safe following distance behind other vehicles to minimize potential risks. Rush hour can be particularly hectic along Wilma Rudolph Blvd. and Warfield Blvd., so be careful.

In 2023, the speed limit in residential areas dropped to 20 miles per hour (mph). Along Hwy. 79, the speed limit was reduced to 60 mph in April 2025. If you're driving your rental SUV or sedan on Interstate 24, the speed limit is usually 70 mph. In the downtown area, it's typically around 30–35 mph.

While Clarksville doesn't get much snow during the year, it rains a considerable amount. The average annual rainfall in the city is around 51 inches, which is 13 inches higher than the national average. The months of May and June get the most rain. At this time of the year, the ideal Clarksville car rental is one with AWD or 4WD to maximize traction on the road.


What is parking like in Clarksville?


Whether you're parking downtown or driving to the edge of the city, you'll have plenty of parking options for your car rental. For example, you'll find a parking garage with kiosk pay stations at 2nd and Commerce Street. This option costs $1.50 per hour. Parking lots and metered street parking are also available throughout the city.

The city helps drivers save money by limiting the times it requires them to pay for metered parking. For example, parking is free on weekdays after 5 pm and every weekend. Street spaces are free every Monday as well.


Are there toll roads in Clarksville?


Good news for your trip planning: you generally won't run into tolls on local routes around Clarksville, so you're free to explore the city and head out on day trips without worrying about toll booths.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Clarksville?


Whether you're driving an electric vehicle like a Tesla Model 3 or a standard car like a Hyundai Elantra, Clarksville hosts many EV charging and gas stations. Amoco, Speedway, and 7-Eleven are a few of the major brands with multiple gas stations in the Clarksville area.

It's estimated that there are over 125 charging stations throughout Clarksville, such as Nissan, Electrify America, and Blink. Nearly 50 of the EV charging stations are free, while 23 ports offer DC fast charging. The state will also be adding another 65 charging stations to locations like Clarksville via the Fast Charge TN Network.


Do I need to rent a car in Clarksville?


Aside from the downtown district, Clarksville isn't a very walkable city. While the Clarksville Transit System offers public transportation via buses, the fares and wait times can add up quickly. With a Clarksville car rental, you can avoid these issues altogether. Major roads like U.S. Route 79 and the 101st Airborne Division Pkwy can take you to the most popular Clarksville locations in minutes.

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.
