Shay helped us out a lot by letting us pick up the car earlier than we originally booked it for after we found out we had lost a loved one the night prior to picking it up for a trip we had planned to take our kids to camp and then go to Helen for the day. We were able to go to see family while our primary vehicle was in the shop prior to this and still were able to get out kids to camp and go have a little time to recharge after a very hard weekend thanks to his accomodations for us. It was very much appreciated.

Top tips for renting a car in McDonough


McDonough is a small suburb that's part of Atlanta, so driving is relatively straightforward. However, if you plan on exploring Atlanta or the neighborhoods around McDonough, driving tips can be helpful. Here are some general tips to keep mind.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in McDonough?


Because McDonough is part of metro Atlanta, traffic can be heavy, especially during morning and evening rush hour commutes along the I-75, near the South Point Shopping Center, or the downtown square. Adding to the congestion, the city's network of emerging warehouses in McDonough requires semi-trucks to haul goods in and out of the area. The I-75 is also the main artery connecting McDonough to Atlanta, leaving few alternatives for commuters.


Within McDonough, driving is simple. Speed limits tend to be 25 miles per hour in residential neighborhoods but increase to about 70 miles per hour on the I-75 highway. Winters are mild, but summers can bring heavy rainstorms, reducing visibility and causing flooding in some areas.


What is parking like in McDonough?


Parking in McDonough is generally free, though there is metered parking in downtown McDonough on weekdays, up until 6 p.m. You can find free parking near the downtown area, south of Sloan Street, or in some churches. Certain streets have banned street parking as of mid-2021, such as South Point Boulevard, Industrial Parkway, and Avalon Parkway.


Are there toll roads in McDonough?


Yes, there are reversible toll roads on sections of the I-75 that change direction depending on rush hour traffic. To access these lanes, otherwise known as the South Metro Express Lanes, drivers must use their Peach Pass. Although the roads are not traditional toll roads with a booth, it is an electronically tolled system.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in McDonough?


Drivers fueling up for longer drives can use gas stations along the I-75 or 155 highway, like Chevron, RaceTrac, and Sunoco. If you're driving an electric vehicle, you'll find EVgo and Blink charging stations conveniently located along the I-75 as well.


Do I need to rent a car in McDonough?


Henry County doesn't have a full-scale bus or transit system, which makes public transportation limited. If you want to travel between your hotel and downtown McDonough, visit Stone Mountain, or even go further to Atlanta, a rental car is the most efficient way to get around.

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.

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.
