KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Augusta

  • While the downtown area of Augusta is walkable and there is access to public transportation, much of the attraction to the city comes from the draw of the Master’s Tournament and, more broadly, Augusta National Golf Course. Opting for an Augusta car rental will allow you to easily go between your hotel, the course, and restaurants, even providing access to outdoor recreation areas in the more rural regions of the city. During periods when events are hosted in Augusta, rentals may also be a cost-effective option compared to taxis and rideshares, as prices typically surge during these times.
  • There are several car rental companies at the Augusta Regional Airport (AGS), including Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget, National, Thrifty, and Payless. Travelers who have opted for a car rental in Augusta, and who are picking up their vehicles at the airport, will want to exit the terminal from baggage claim and head directly across the street to the Rental Car Ready / Return area, which sits between Lot D Short-Term Parking and Lot A Long-Term Parking.
  • The city of Augusta is easy to navigate and the roadways are simple to drive. Since there are several points of interest near the Olde Towne and downtown districts, such as the Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson and the Augusta Museum of History, numerous pedestrians are wandering the space at any given time. Drivers are encouraged to keep an eye out for people crossing streets, even in places where there is no formal crosswalk.
  • The weather in Augusta is hot in the summer and temperate in the winter, making snow and ice a non-issue for drivers in the city. However, if you've opted for a car rental in Augusta during the summer—specifically sometime during June through August—you'll want to keep an eye on the weather as this is the rainy season. Ensure the windshield whippers are in working order and, if driving a convertible, check the forecast before putting the top down. While in Augusta for the week-long Master’s Tournament, you’ll want to plan your commute to the course carefully to avoid traffic before and after rounds. Otherwise, Augusta is considered one of the least traffic-laden cities in the state, practically unaffected by traditional rush hours.
  • Book your rental car in Augusta at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Luxury rental cars in Augusta are around 112% more expensive than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Augusta

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Augusta?

    A suitable vehicle for a visit to Augusta is a sedan or economy car, as smaller vehicles provide drivers with the agility to navigate urban streets and, in the summer months when the heat can be sweltering and tropical storms can arise, the interiors offer dry and air-conditioned refuge. In spring and fall, convertibles can be an enjoyable choice for renters.

  • What’s the speed limit in Augusta?

    Drivers can expect major highways, such as Interstate 520 (also known as Bobby Jones Expressway) to have a posted speed limit of 65mph. On other roads throughout the municipality, drivers can expect posted speed limits to be around 35mph. When in the downtown area, this drops to between 25mph and 30mph.

  • Where are the best places to park in Augusta?

    Augusta has several parking places available to visitors. For a lot of options in downtown and Old Towne, drivers should head to Broad Street—also known as Route 1—where the parking lots are accessible and conveniently near areas of interest. Many lots will be pay-to-park options, which can cost around $1.50 per hour, but there are free parking spots in the city if you can snag one.

  • How much is gas price in Augusta?

    The average gas price in Augusta is ₪13.37 per gallon over the past 30 days. Filling up a gas tank costs between ₪160 and ₪214, depending on the car size.

  • What is the most popular rental car in Augusta?

    Luxury (Ford Transit or similar) is the most frequently booked rental car type in Augusta.

The rental process was quick and easy. The only problem that I had, there was no instructions as to what I do on return. Usually there is someone to tell you what to do.( Leave your keys in the car or take them with you.)

Cons:

There wasn't anything wrong with the service I got from Thrifty. The poor rating was intended for Kayak. Through this service I was able to reserve a vehicle that wasn't available. I don't know anyone that has nothing better to do than waste precious time online and on the road in an effort to find creative new ways to waste more of their time. Thank you Kayak for making just a tiny part of my life a complete waste. After all, I'm gonna live forever, right...

Pros:

Staff is always friendly and helpful

Cons:

I dont like how whenever you get a suppliers choice vehicle they give you the smallest vehicle possible. I understand its a gamble but as a renter you want to try out nice cars at a decent price. I feel like this is just a way to cut cost so I won't be using that option anymore. The price was amazing but my husband an I are not twigs and the Ford Fiesta was good on gas but the tank is small and the car barley fit us and our luggage.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

You guys could have a better grasp of inventory. I was sent to 2 different places with reassurance that they cars only to be told they have nothing. I even spoke with customer service line who said the same thing. After giving me the run around, I was told very nonchalantly and rudely ’there is nothing we can do for you. Try again tomorrow. Goodbye.’ Very inconvenient and inconsistent. Very little care about peoples time or plans. Should change a lot of things.

Pros:

Easy pick up and drop off despite the covid19 pandemic.

Cons:

The car wasn't the most comfortable and the visibility out the back window wasn't very good. Also knowing we were traveling through a state with electronic tolls, they could have been more informative about whether there is a service fee or not. I was told there wouldn't be but there was an additional $8 charge!

The customer service at pickup was terrible. Gentleman behind the counter barely spoke and when he did it was almost unintelligible. Individual would simply get up and walk off, with me having no idea what was going on. Check in took an extensive amount of time. I asked about entering my rewards number and received no response and no entering of said number. Guy walks outside, no idea where he’s going and stands beside a car (I assumed it was my rental). He takes a video walk around of the car, shoved me keys and handed me something to sign, then walked off

At pick up I did ask if we could add one hour to our end time and the agent said it would add another days charge. I thought that seemed odd as we picked up at 7am and planned to drop it off originally the next day at 3pm. Later I called and a different agent allowed the extension without additional charges. As a customer I find it frustrating when you get two different answers to the same question.

They let me book with a debit card, then refused to rent the car to me with that same debit card. I didn’t bring my credit card with me on my trip. They wouldn’t let me do Apple Pay with the credit card. I couldn’t get the rental. I had to call someone with a credit card in hand to meet me there (my credit card was in Tampa while I was in Augusta.) then because I was using a different card than what I booked with, they said they couldn’t use my original reservation. I ended up paying TWICE as much for the rental than what I agreed upon. Would never recommend to anyone!
