Mitsubishi Mirage G4 2019

It's a Car. It got me from point A to Point B around town, and highway. Small car but roomy interior and trunk. I needed a car with short notice, at 10pm and picked this up at a rental lot. Owner was there and said he would be there til 1am which was nice to know. This car will not win any beauty pageants. Front windshield was pretty dirty and had to clean it off before driving off with it. There are scratches and dents on the outside, with some minor things in the interior like small holes in the driver's seat. Car smelled fine and had air fresheners in place. Only drove it for 3 days. Price may be a little high for something like this to be honest. But it worked. Messaging/Customer support from the Owner and Co-Hosts/Employees was on point and addressed any concerns I had quickly. No major complaints. Did what I intended for it to do.

Nissan Sentra 2017

The car was clean, had minor external damage to the body but ran well. No unpleasant smell, either . The car delivery was great for convenience in a pinch. I will say, with all the fees/charges for the convenience of it, it did end up more expensive than I had expected it to be - significantly more expensive per day than a traditional car rental: If convenience is your goal, this app is great. Joshua was very kind and communicative throughout and I would rent from him again :)

Top tips for renting a car in Spartanburg

Whether you're driving down Interstate 26 to reach the Roebuck Family Skate Center or cruising Highway 29 to pick up some fresh produce at Hobo Hollar Farms, driving safely in Spartanburg comes down to understanding the rules of the road and how to get around without hassle. Below are some helpful car rental tips.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Spartanburg?

Driving in Spartanburg is widely considered to be safe and easy. However, your experience depends on where and when you're driving. While I-85 is designed to reduce travel time, the interstate can get very busy in the mornings because of the direct route that goes to Greenville. When you're driving at a busy time of day, consider traveling via the smaller highways and side roads.

The speed limits in and around Spartanburg typically adhere to South Carolina law, which means the limit on interstates like I-85 and I-26 is 70 mph. If you're traveling on a multi-lane highway, the limit ranges from 55 to 60 mph. In the downtown area and other urban districts, the maximum allowable speed is 30 mph.

Spartanburg doesn't get much snow during the year. However, the town receives around 3.5 to 4.5 inches of rain every month, and an icy mix is somewhat common during the winter. Before your trip, make sure to check the forecast. If the weather looks poor for the duration of your stay in Spartanburg, consider renting a vehicle with AWD or 4WD, such as the Hyundai Santa Cruz or Honda CR-V.


What is parking like in Spartanburg?

Whether you're visiting the downtown district or other neighborhoods in Spartanburg, you should have easy access to parking. Downtown Spartanburg hosts five parking garages with more than 3,000 spaces. If you park your rental car in one of these spaces, the fee is 50 cents per hour or $4 per day. However, parking is free on nights and weekends. If you're driving an electric vehicle, the downtown garages offer free charging.


Are there toll roads in Spartanburg?

Most driving in and around Spartanburg is toll-free. The one exception in the region is the Southern Connector, the only toll road in South Carolina, which runs along a stretch of I-185 to the south of Greenville. Unless you're taking a longer trip in that direction, you're unlikely to encounter a toll on a typical Spartanburg rental.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Spartanburg?

Spartanburg offers many EV charging ports and gas stations that should accommodate your vehicle. Along with major brands like Murphy USA and QuikTrip, Spartanburg hosts popular regional gas stations like Hot Spot. If you have a Sam's Club membership, you can use your card to receive fuel discounts at the station on Peachwood Center Drive.

If you're driving an electric vehicle like a Tesla Model Y or Honda Prologue, Spartanburg is home to 129 EV charging stations, more than a dozen of which let you charge your vehicle's battery for free. When you're in a hurry, take your car to one of the 27 DC fast chargers in town. The top charging networks in the area include EV Connect, ChargePoint, and XEAL Energy.


Do I need to rent a car in Spartanburg?

If you're looking to explore Spartanburg on foot, the downtown district is one of the few areas in town that's perfectly walkable. When you need to reach your favorite hiking trail or golf course promptly, the best way to travel is by car. A rental vehicle allows you to drive in any direction without delay. With roads like Highway 176 and Interstate 85, Spartanburg is easy to navigate with a car.
