Top tips for renting a car at Savannah/Hilton Head airport
- Renting a car at Savannah/Hilton Head Airport (SAV) offers the easiest way of getting around Savannah, GA. Unlike the taxis, buses, rideshare, or shuttle services, a car rental at Savannah/Hilton Head Airport provides you a perfect SUV for offloading or a van when traveling with a few passengers, among other vehicles based on your preference and unique requirements. Once the rental car is in your possession, you can drive and explore any destination of choice. That's an opportunity you can't afford with public transportation that follows the same route and schedule all day.
- If you're confined to a tight budget, it will help if you booked your car in advance. A car rental at Savannah/Hilton Head Airport will usually impose extra charges due to tax fees, car insurance, and the convenience they provide international passengers. Booking a month before your travel date ensures you get lower than regular prices. It also guarantees you'll get your preferred car model, unlike when you rent during peak seasons in summer and fall, when there's an influx of passengers wanting rental cars.
- Returning your rental vehicle is easy with a Savannah/Hilton Head Airport car rental. Follow the "Car Rental Return" signs that lead to the covered parking lot outside the baggage claims area. In case your flight is scheduled to take off during the car rental after-hours, you can still return the car. Once you park and lock the car, complete the contact form and drop it (together with the keys) in the dropbox. Still, you'll be responsible for the automobile until the rental agent inspects the car.
- Like any other city, Savanna, GA, also experiences traffic congestion during the rush hour. If you have a morning flight, you can expect virtually no traffic leaving the city to return the car. It would be best to drive on I-16 as there're periodic road closures on Abercorn Ext/204 to the east. If you're heading to the city during morning rush hour (at around 6.30 am to 7.45 am,) you can avoid heavy traffic by traveling on I-95 and then south to I-16, which runs through the downtown area. Alternatively, you can head to the US-80 from the airport, which also gets congested during rush hour.
- Book your rental car at Savannah/Hilton Head airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
We arrived very late and the employee was fast and friendly and gave us a great car for the week.Cons:
Really one of the best car rental experiences we've ever had. It was slightly confusing upon returning the car as there was not the typical employee out in the lot to check the car back in so we just went in and dropped off the keys at the counter.5.6 Fair
Oct 2020
Cons:
The chance of dropping the car off in Miami rather than at the same office as the pick up. An explanation about the difference in between the pre paid fuel tank option and the self filling. I shouldn’t paid for the pre paid as I wouldn’t do that amount of miles in just two days.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Staff at the counter not overly friendly, and there was confusion about what car we rented and needed as their current inventory was very low. We ended up getting a vehicle that worked, but it was different from what we booked. Returning the car was quick and easy, and the car itself was very nice.10.0 Wonderful

Jun 2017
Pros:
NothingCons:
The reserved and prepaid convertible was not there, and they had no standard vehicles to move to. They offered a "similar" Cadillac SUV, but since the convertible was for beach cruising, that is not similar. They saw we paid for a convertible, but they had nothing for us. We canceled the entire reservation and booked elsewhere. For half the cost.2.0 Poor
Apr 2017
Cons:
I couldn't even pick up my car. Kayak did not notify me that I'd need a credit card, even though it was prepaid for on my debit card. I tried transferring my rental to a Hertz that would take a Debit card, as I was told to do, but no other store had an SUV, neither did it look like I could use a debit card. America is going debt free, rental companies, and that means there are a lot of people out there choosing to forgo credit cards. You're losing a lot of customers by not making this work.3.2 Poor
Apr 2017
Pros:
next to nothingCons:
a very long line for pickup as hertz did not have the promised cars available. caused me to have to hurry to appointment once i was given papers. no-one available in the lot to record problems (damage to front RIGHT bumper). accused of incurring damage that was preexisting upon my return. (amazingly, a traveling companion had the exact same experience (except LEFT front bumper) with the same type of car on the same drop off day.6.4 Okay
Apr 2017
Pros:
The car was great; pick up took longer than expected but drop off was easy and quickCons:
The price I was quoted online was much, much less than what I was ultimately charged (quoted $70, charged $170). Then they charged me for what I'd pre-paid upon reservation! Extremely displeased. Will never use them again.Dollar

I was originally given a pick up truck. I knew it was a busy weekend and they were likely sold out of cars. I explained I would be shuttling my mom around and it would be difficult for her to get in the truck. They took the time to clean a returned car. It was so appreciated! Thanks6.0 Okay

Pros:
no, long lines and slow -poerhaps it was customer problems but the staff seemed to need help.Cons:
They had to change my car me because they didn't have the car I ordered - they offered me a truck but they have problems with getting in and out, so the only thing they had has a small car, which I accepted, but they didn't offer me a change in rate. Said they had to get supervisors approval who wasn't there.8.0 Very good
Apr 2019
Pros:
Helpful staff. Easy return. Thank goodness the navigation system worked as we used it to get to our destinations.Cons:
The line to pick up rental was long; waited 1/2 hr-45 min as there weren't enough cars ready for the customers ahead of me to pick up. Staff also mentioned that they were short staffed that day.4.4 Mediocre
Apr 2019
Pros:
DID NOT LIKE At pick up there were only two ladies working. One was a manager of some sort. They were bickering back and forth because they had 12 people in line and no cars to give.Cons:
Offer the people who had a reservation something because of Thrifty's poor planning. It literally took 20 minutes per person to rent a car. The long haired brunette asked if I wanted a midsize car and I said "no", I rented an intermediate. My rental was WAAAY over what I was supposed to pay.Avis

Pros:
The Payless counter in Savannah is closed. A sign directed me to the Budget Rental Car counter which had a long line and only 2 agents. There were people standing around for hours waiting for a car to become available. We got lucky and didn't have to wait once we finally checked in, but the car we got was not cleaned. At that point, we had been in line for an hour, so we went ahead and took the dirty car. It smelled like sour milk, but at least it was the size we reserved and otherwise was issue-free.Cons:
More rental cars are definitely needed in Savannah!!7.6 Good
Jul 2020
Cons:
Payless does not have any employees working at the Savannah airport location. You have to go to Budget/Avis. Then they walk you all the way back to the Payless counter where they have to manually fill out paperwork because computers do not come up properly and the printer is broken. The employee that helped me was fantastic. Had she not been this extra time spent and nonsense would have been a terrible experience. There is no one to check cars back in for Avis/Budget or Payless. For Avis and Budget you can fill out mileage and put it in the box but for Payless you have to go back to Avis and budget wait in line and give them the key and paperwork. They should just add a Payless box. Had that line been longer I could have easily waited 20-30 min just to hand that to someone. The process is not well thought out.2.0 Poor
Jun 2020
Cons:
They did not have one single car available but still booked my $450 reservation turning me away from the rental counter after three tries. No upgrades, just said they had no cars and there weren’t going to be any no matter how long I waited.6.4 Okay

Cons:
They allowed me to reserve a size car they didn’t have and had to be forced to upgrade because I needed the car urgently2.0 Poor
Jan 2019
Pros:
I still got a carCons:
I arrived at the counter during my reservation time and was told I didn't have a reservation. The attendant told me this was because I had used a third party vendor instead of the corporate website. The staff than told me it would be more than double the cost of my reservation for the same and rental length. I left the counter and called the number from my reservation. Provided my name and confirmation number. Everything was according to my reservation. The attendant assured me there was nothing to be done. I paid the day of price and am waiting for a response from Payless corporate.National

Pros:

I did not like the impersonal service and being sent to the back of the line when my corporate id did not work. The representative did not put any effort into figuring out my problem. I had to go on the website myself and figure out that I was an emerald club member and make an account, which was very simple. It took 45 minutes for me to get a car. Also, I thought the price was going to be lower than estimated since I reserved the car for 2pm -11pm but only used the car until 6pm. The price was actually more than estimated.10.0 Wonderful
