The car was in excellent shape, kept clean, and provided a smooth ride. The host was very responsive to messages, and at least 90% messages were responded to in less than 5mins. He also worked with me to get the car set up for Uber in advance, which 2 prior hosts failed to do. Would recommend this host for any Turo-approved reason you would need a car.

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 requires 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 the 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 that 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 55-60 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 3.5-4.5 inches of rain every month. An icy mix is also somewhat common during the winter. Before your trip, make sure to check the forecast. If the weather looks to be 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?


Depending on where you drive around Spartanburg, you may encounter the Southern Connector Toll Road, which is the only road of its kind in South Carolina. It's mainly located along a stretch of I-185 just to the south of Greenville. If you're taking a road trip and traveling outside Spartanburg, you might need to pay some fees, which you can reduce with the Palmetto Pass.


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 allow you to 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.
