Highly recommend! First of all Rigid was very helpful from the beginning. I wasn’t exactly sure what days I would be arriving at GSO so I had to keep rescheduling the rental, but Rigid was very understanding and willing to work with me! Very well communicated from making the reservation to returning the car. Very easy pickup, the car was dropped off right outside the arrival level, so no long walk to the parking lot or rental car center etc. Clean car with good mpg! Will definitely rent again next time I coming through GSO airport!

This car served its purpose very well for a bit of a long trip. It did smell like smoke at first but went away over time and the steering wheel was slightly shaking on the highway, other than that great car for our trip.

I rented this Subaru Legacy and it really surprised me—in a good way. Driving experience: The smoothness is the first thing that stands out. This car just glides. Whether I was on the highway or hitting rougher city roads, it handled everything effortlessly. No harsh bumps, no jittery feeling—just a calm, controlled ride the whole time. It made my long drive feel easy and way less tiring than expected. Steering was light but still felt secure, so it never felt sloppy or loose. Gas mileage: Another big win was how good it was on gas. I went longer than expected without needing to fill up, which is always a huge plus with a rental. It’s one of those cars where you’re not constantly watching the fuel gauge, and that alone makes the experience way more enjoyable—especially if you’re driving a lot. Customer service experience: This part honestly made the whole experience even better. The pickup and drop-off process was smooth, quick, and stress-free. No runaround, no confusion—just straightforward and professional. Everything was clearly explained, and the car was ready to go when it was delivered. That kind of efficiency makes a big difference, especially when you’re traveling. Final thoughts: Between how smooth it drives and how fuel-efficient it is, this Subaru Legacy checks all the right boxes. Add in the easy, hassle-free customer service, and it’s an easy choice—I’d definitely rent with them again. Thanks again!

Exploring North Carolina's Piedmont region from Piedmont Triad International Airport

The Triad area surrounding Piedmont Triad International Airport offers an incredible variety of experiences within easy driving distance. You'll discover world-class museums in Greensboro, historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, and the renowned furniture markets of High Point. The region's scenic backroads wind through picturesque farmland and charming small towns, while urban centers provide excellent dining and entertainment options. Having your own rental car enhances your ability to experience authentic Southern hospitality and explore hidden gems that public transportation simply cannot reach.


Old Salem Museums and Gardens in Winston-Salem

Step back in time at this remarkable living history museum that preserves an 18th-century Moravian settlement. The cobblestone streets and original buildings create an immersive experience where costumed interpreters demonstrate traditional crafts and trades. Your rental car provides convenient access to the museum's parking areas, and the scenic drive through Winston-Salem's tree-lined neighborhoods adds to the charm. The surrounding area features additional attractions like Reynolda House Museum, making it easy to create a full day of cultural exploration while enjoying the comfort and convenience of your own rental car.


Greensboro Science Center

This dynamic attraction combines an aquarium, museum, and zoo all in one exciting destination. Families particularly enjoy the interactive exhibits and the chance to see everything from sharks to lemurs. The facility offers ample parking, and your rental car makes it simple to transport any souvenirs or supplies for your visit. The center's location in Greensboro puts you close to other attractions like the International Civil Rights Center and Museum, allowing you to easily plan multiple stops during your stay in the area.


Tanglewood Park in Clemmons

This expansive park spans over 1,100 acres and offers something for every outdoor enthusiast, from championship golf courses to hiking trails and seasonal festivals. The park's Rose Garden blooms spectacularly in spring and summer, while the Arboretum provides peaceful walking paths year-round. Having a rental car allows you to explore different areas of this vast park at your leisure and easily transport picnic supplies or recreational equipment. The park also hosts the famous Festival of Lights during winter months, when driving through the illuminated displays becomes a magical experience that draws visitors from across the region.


High Point Market and Furniture Discovery Center

Known as the furniture capital of the world, High Point showcases incredible design and craftsmanship at its famous market events and year-round showrooms. The Furniture Discovery Center offers fascinating exhibits about the industry's history and manufacturing processes. Your rental car provides the flexibility to visit multiple showrooms and design centers throughout the city, and you'll appreciate the convenience when exploring the various market buildings spread across the area.


Pilot Mountain State Park

This distinctive geological formation rises dramatically from the surrounding landscape, offering spectacular hiking opportunities and breathtaking panoramic views. The park's unique quartzite peak, known as "Big Pinnacle," creates an unmistakable silhouette visible for miles around. Your rental car enables you to reach the park's various trailheads and scenic overlooks with ease, and the winding mountain roads leading to the park provide their own scenic rewards. The park offers excellent opportunities for photography, rock climbing, and wildlife observation, making it a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts seeking adventure beyond the urban attractions of the Triad region.
