Top tips for hiring a car at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport
- Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is the main international airport servicing Atlanta, Georgia and the surrounding areas. Atlanta is one of the most popular destinations in the southeast, offering an array of southern charm, a rich history, dynamic culture and an endless supply of activities to get involved in and sights to visit. Car hire at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is an excellent opportunity for you to discover the plethora of things this city has in store for you without having to rely on public transport designed for the everyday commuter.
- The best way to ensure you're getting the cheapest car hire at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is to keep these things in mind. Firstly, use KAYAK to search for car rentals on the days that you need, we merge the results from several different websites into one results page with the cheapest rentals at the top of the page. Secondly, make sure you know how far you plan on travelling during your stay to determine whether you need a limited or unlimited mileage policy. We also suggest booking as far in advance as possible and using flexible dates. You'll often find better deals during the beginning of the week and less affordable rates if you rent over a weekend.
- When returning your vehicle, if you approach the airport from the 85 South, you'll drive along Airport Blvd until you reach Jet road, turn right and follow the signs to the rental centre. If you're approaching from the 85 North, you'll travel up Crosswind Road and turn right at the traffic signal before following the signs leading you to the centre. After dropping your vehicle off and returning the keys, you'll head up to the second level and head back to the terminal on the Sky Train.
- There are no specific times when Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport car hire is the busiest, but Atlanta morning and evening traffic can have you backed up for hours. To avoid getting stuck in traffic, we suggest booking your morning car rental after 10:00 and before 14:30. These times will ensure you miss the peak traffic hours in the city.
- Book your car hire at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I was charged a drop fee (rented at ATL, dropped at STL as per the contract). The rental was not supposed to include a drop fee, but my credit card shows an almost $600 charge for what was supposed to be a $200 rental. I expect a refund of the drop fee. Thank you. -c.Hertz

Jul 2019
Pros:
Although booked 24 hours early, at the airport the rep told us you have to wait for 1.5-2 hours or else go somewhere and find another car. They did not give us the car and asked to book somewhere else. Horrible experience. Never ever will book EZ car rental.4.0 Mediocre
May 2019
Pros:
The representative at the front desk (inside office) was very courteous and upgraded my car because there were none available at one of the pick up areas. Other than that I can’t think of anything.Cons:
My first car was barely clean on the outside, wheel was shaking at 60+ mph, returned car and was charged a full tank of gas when the I barely used 1/4 of a tank. Service was mediocre at best. Never renting from this company again! Manager did not include in the notes why I returned car.2.0 Poor

Mar 2019
Cons:
They are dishonest and do not even tell you the whole truth when renting the car. The girl told me $20 for unlimited gas but never specify that it was $20 per day. They do not tell you how much gas cost to fill up and will send an email receipt instead of telling you the cost up front and deposits.Advantage

Mar 2021
Pros:
The staff was friendly at first until she stated the vehicle size I purchased weren't returned yet. Normally when a rental company is at fault you receive a updrade but no. I had the option to wait a hour to hour and half or more for full-size car to be returned. Then when I took the option to get smaller car my price difference wasn't given then. I was charged the peice for full size and she would send email to manager for them to try and give price credit. As of now I still haven't received email stating what that refund will be or when given.Cons:
The car smelled first like cigarettes and later as the day grew it smelled like weed. That smell didn't leave the vehicle the entire time I rented it.2.0 Poor
Mar 2021
Pros:
The staff was friendly and the drop off was very simple.Cons:
It was very difficult to find the kiosk, and the wait was very long. The car was dirty inside and smelled VERY strongly of smoke. I bought air fresheners and rode with the windows down a lot. The tires were not balanced -- the passenger side were both over 36 and the driver side were at 28/27. I had to put air in the tires twice while I had it.6.0 Okay

I still have not got my refund for my deposit of $300.00 4 days after I returned the vehicle, and budget airlines does not have anyone I can speak to on this. So at this point, after calling over 6 times and not being able to get anyone, I’m going to escalate the hell out of this until budget Car Rental refunds me my deposit of $300.00.2.0 Poor
Apr 2021
Pros:
nothing to like. horrible service, gross car, huge van instead of compact, so much wrong with this experience. at least we got a carseat we requested for the toddler, that's the only thing that didn't go absolutely wrong.Cons:
I waited for 6.5 hours after my scheduled pickup time, exhausted after an international flight with my family (including a small child), and was eventually given a huge family van instead of the efficiency I requested. It had a gross muffin on the floor, and caramel or something gooey on the center console area. Staff was outrageously rude, and I wasn't the only one waiting for hours. It was such a nightmare. I've never had such a horrible experience with a rental car.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
The person at the desk was friendly and efficient once we got there. We were quickly checked out and on our way after a long wait.Cons:
The directions on obtaining the vehicle were not explained to us until after we called for directions to the off site rental. We had to wait for a van to pick us up and take us to the rental lot, which took a long time to get to us. Upon arrival the agent greeted us and was welcoming. There was an undisclosed $200 deposit that we were not expecting and was taken from our debit card the day of rental. It was advertised that the van would be exceptionally clean and sanitized. When Adrienne pulled up the van it was obvious it has sat for awhile. The outside was dirty and banged up. The inside was fair, but it was definitely not clean. The Van’s brakes were poor and the power steering was loud. Not what I expected for the price we paid.One location in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport
