Top tips for renting a car at Fayetteville airport
- Travelers visiting Fayetteville will have several options for moving around during their stay. However, we recommend moving around with rental cars as they are more convenient and have a lot of freedom you cannot find with public transportation. However, buses are not available from Fayetteville Regional Airport (FAY). Only taxis can transport you from the airport to your hotel, and they can be overpriced since prices fluctuate. Rental cars are more suitable than taxis because they are affordable in the long term. You can also freely make stops at any location of your choosing when driving rental cars.
- You can book a car rental at the Fayetteville Regional Airport car rental center. The airport’s car rental center hosts around seven rental companies. These include major international providers like Hertz, Thrifty, Alamo, and Budget. The rental center is inside the baggage claim area, and the rental pick up lot is just a short distance away. The lot is outside the terminal and takes a few minutes to walk there from the rental center.
- Returns of car rentals at Fayetteville Regional Airport are to the same lot as the pick up. You will find directions to the parking lot when you approach the airport with your rental. Make the drop off at the time selected with your provider, failure to do this attracts a late return fee. Remove personal belongings from the car, lock it, and proceed to the counter to complete the rental. For after-hours drop offs, park and lock the rental, record the fuel level and mileage and then drop the contract and keys at the dropbox outside the agency’s counter.
- Fortunately for travelers, Fayetteville Regional Airport does not experience extremely busy times as with international airports in North Carolina. However, expect busy times and seasons that can slow processes down at the airport. The busiest times are in the morning between 6 am and 9 am and then again between 4 pm and 6 pm. Avoid booking flights that will land at the airport during these times, as it will take longer before you can drive out of the airport with your rental.
- Book your rental car at Fayetteville airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Staff was good when I dropped off and understanding of my issue. They further discounted the rental for me to compensate for the inconvenience.Cons:
The car was not cleaned well when I picked up. There was a lot of dirt and mud around the exterior crevices and door jambs as if the truck was taken off road by the previous renter. Windows inside were filthy and there was no window washer solvent left. Dash was also dusty.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I wish I could remember how to spell her name. She was the friendliest customer service rep I've had in a long time.5.2 Fair
May 2018
Pros:
The lady at the desk was great and made every effort to get us or car at the quoted price. However, we haven't rented a car in years and we're not familiar with the details. She was very polite despite our frustrations and was very professional.Cons:
I booked the car with a debit card but apparently you can't rent a car with a debit card without a credit check and paying extra. This should have been stated when I made my reservation. We brought a credit card but it was in my wife's old name and so we couldn't use it since it didn't match her licence. At the nice desk ladies suggestion, we tried to find a different ID with her old name on it but she didn't bring her whole purse on this trip. It was very frustrating. I had to get a ride to pick up the car and then my wife had to uber back up there with her credit card only to be told that wouldn't work as well. This could have been solved at the reservation point easily by stating you need a matching licence and credit card to book the car in the first place. Very disappointing.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
Charged me double the rate I made the reservation for. i never should have been required to pay outrageous rate that didn't match the reservation. If I wasn't in need of quickly getting to my destination, I would have walked away from the pickup counter and used a different company.Avis

Pros:
Nothing. After waiting two hours after my appointment for them to clean the car, they denied to release the vehicle to me because I didn’t have a credit card. I offered my debit card but they wouldn’t accept it. I offered to have my mom sign a form and use her credit card Hertz said no.Cons:
I was charged $88 for a service I was not provided. I am trying to get the money refunded. They did not allow me to rent the car but charged me anyhow.4.4 Mediocre
Apr 2019
Pros:
Staff at pickup were fairly pleasant but did not care that I was frustrated that my car size was not available although it said it was online. I was not happy that I had to pay for an upgrade. She told me that I can't rely on the 3rd party vendors like KayakCons:
The staff at the drop off were very nice folks. The pickup location... not so much. When I reserved the car on Kayak I reserved an economy sized car or whichever the smallest one is. Kayak confirmed the availability online and told me that one was available. Upon my arrival I was told that none wereEasirent
