Top tips for hiring a car in Bentonville
- Whether you are in Bentonville for business or pleasure, having a car can make your trip more enjoyable. For starters, you'll be able to travel at your own pace but a lot faster than you would when using public transportation. This means you'll have more time to conduct business matters or discover the city. It may seem like renting a car would be expensive, but on the contrary, it's a lot cheaper because you can get an economy car and avoid expensive taxis or having to deal with bus timetables. Getting a car from car rentals in Bentonville means having more space to carry your luggage if you have biking, hiking, or camping gear. You'll be cozy throughout the trip, you'll be in control of the radio and air conditioner, you'll have ultimate privacy, and be completely restriction-free. Your trip to Bentonville will be completely at your convenience and flexibility. You can even drop at the River Valley Artisan Market, a little over 86 miles away, for some souvenirs.
- The Northwest Arkansas National Airport has a car rental facility at the lower-level Terminal in the baggage claim area. Some of the Bentonville car rentals you'll find here include Avis, Budget, Hertz, National, and Enterprise. If you’d like to pick up the car at the airport, an easy option would be to book it through KAYAK and find it waiting for you, ready for the trip. If you'd rather not drive from the airport, you have the option to pick up the car at the rental agencies in Bentonville city.
- The one thing you should be wary of on Bentonville roads and overall Arkansas roads is trucks. You’ll find numerous trucks on the way, and they usually drive at a lower speed limit, so be careful when passing them. Of course, you can never be too sure with pedestrians, especially at intersections.
- Interstate 49 and Highway 102 are usually more congested during rush hours, which run from 6:30am to 8:30am and 4pm to 7pm. Traffic on the AR-72 and US 71 might also be bumper to bumper, but it's not always full-on gridlock. Beyond that, Bentonville roads can be very dangerous during winter due to snowstorms and icy roads. Even with the best car, sometimes you may have to stay off the road.
- Book your rental car in Bentonville at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Bentonville are around 21% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
Price could have been lower. Staff could have had the vehicle in a location where I didn’t have to walk 5 minutes looking for the area the car was parked in.6.0 Okay
Dec 2020
Pros:
Bottom line is the third party insurance I bought through KAYAK was not in the agreement at the airport, nor could I locate it on KAYAK emails or find a contact to answer the simple question if I had coverage on the reservation. I ended up purchasing both policies because I couldn’t find the 3rd party verification. I doubt I will ever buy insurance from KAYAK 3rd party again because of the inability to access help on a simple question when I needed it. Heaven forbid if I ever needed to collect on it.Cons:
All chargers should be printed on all documents and you should not have to go on a 20 minute scavenger hunt to find help.10.0 Wonderful

No signs or people to tell you how to return the vehicle. We had no idea that we had to go inside the terminal. Very frustrating! The initial price was great, but then there were double the taxes and fees. To expensive, we will drive our own vehicle next time.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Jul 2017
Pros:
Location was close to place I was staying.Cons:
I know pickup was on July 4th. But was traveling from Missouri to Arkansas on that day. I did not receive a call or email from Avis stating that they would be closing early on the 4th. Otherwise I would have left MS earlier to make it to AVIS by noon. We called customer service to see if there was another pick up location that was open. It was at an airport 2 hrs away and they wanted to charge us $150 more. Thank goodness my flight was not until the afternoon on the 5th, which allowed me to pick it up early that morning before traveling to Oklahoma. I was not happy! CS was not helpful either as far as problem solving.2.0 Poor
Nov 2016
Pros:

Pros:

No real direction on airport ground for car check in.8.8 Very Good
Apr 2018
Cons:
Everything about this rental was great except for the dropoff situation at Bentonvillle airport. There were no Thrifty signs directing you where to go and no Thrifty employee was there to meet you, as I'm used to at larger airports. I parked in a Thrifty space and brought my keys inside to the rental counter, where the friendly employee helped check me back in. It all worked out in the end, but was way too confusing even for a pretty experienced traveler like myself (possibly for exactly that reason - it didn't work the same way it does at major airports).2.0 Poor
Oct 2017
Cons:
Who knew that they do not accept debit cards for payment unless you have a "return flight ticket"? Really upset that I could not rent a car because I don't have a "credit" card. I guess my experience wasn't exactly "poor" it was non-existent!10.0 Wonderful

Everyone was so prompt, kind, professional, and the car was a great one for the price that I paid! I wish that I had this sort of experience with every car rental company.10.0 Wonderful

Aug 2017
Pros:
Great car, counter friendly, price was reasonable.Cons:
After checking in with the counter, there was no lot attendant and it was difficult finding the car, also no one there with check in and no instruction on how to proceed. Called call center and they were rude and not helpful at all. Pay a little more and get better service if that is important to you.Hertz

Cons:
They have zero customer service skills. My reservation was for 9am. I got there at 8:45 and was told they had to "go get my car and it would be at a least 40 minute wait. It never mentioned I would need a major credit card if I didn't 0ass their credit check (that I didn't authorize). I drove out of my way to this place and it was all for nothing.9.6 Wonderful
Jul 2019
Pros:

Just mad a hard time harder.Cons:
