Driving in Charlotte is the most convenient and effective way of getting to know the city, as all the major interest points are pretty scattered across a 15-mile range. Downtown Charlotte, which is known as Uptown, gets quite busy, but just a short ride away you'll find the cool North Davidson St. and Plaza Midwood neighborhoods. A car is the perfect option for those looking to explore other destinations outside the city — including the US National Whitewater Center, an outdoor recreation facility that sits 15 miles west of Uptown and offers several outdoor activities. Another popular destination is Lake Norman, which is only 30 minutes outside of Charlotte.
All the big car hire agencies, including Alamo, Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz, can be found at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)'s Consolidated hire Car Facility, which is in the Level 2 lobby next to the Hourly Parking Deck, right in front of the Arrivals terminal.
Uptown is one of the most crowded areas in the city, particularly when there are big events going on, such as a Carolina Panthers game, so beware of pedestrians if you're driving there. The whole of Charlotte gets pretty packed during NASCAR season, so you may want to avoid going to shopping malls in the city center. The Interstate 485 (I-485) is a highway loop that encircles the city, and, while it may be a little difficult to navigate, it is usually less congested than the Interstate 77, which flows north-south on the western side of Charlotte.
Although traffic is manageable, roads are usually fairly busy throughout Charlotte during peak hours, so avoid rush hour traffic both in the morning (between 7:30 and 10 a.m.) and afternoon (between 4 and 7 p.m.) if you don't want to be stuck driving for longer than needed. The I-77 in particular tends to get packed during rush hour, in which case it's best to take the 385 loop around the city. When there's a major sporting event taking place, it is recommended that you refrain from driving in the Uptown area.

Find this company and don’t use the ones at the airport, which are much more expensive. This is less than a mile from the airport and has a shuttle.

If you have a car available rent it out even if you don’t like the drop off city.

Try Hertz. They have automated check in kiosks. No lines!!!

Make sure company have a car and if through a third party make sure credit transfer to another company

It was Sunday and the only option I had was airport location. They should have different locations for pickup. Otherwise, every thing was great.

Pros:

Staff was relatively friendly and helpful, vehicle was excellent.

Cons:

The vehicle was not waiting for us when we arrived. We had to wait over 30 minutes for a vehicle to arrive at the facility. Communication of this was poor as we were told the wait would be only 10 minutes and I believe we were not immediately notified when our vehicle was ready.

It was horrible. We missed a connection in Charlotte after sitting on the taxiway for 2.5 hours waiting for a gate. We tried to get a rental car to get to our final destination. They accepted a reservation. We left the secured area of the airport to pick up the car. Just kidding, no cars. Went back to the terminal and got in line for TSA. After > hour, TSA shut down with no warning. We were stranded and had to sleep on the floor in the security corral. Rude and abusive treatment by airport staff, including management, made a bad situation much worse. In the future, we will avoid Dollar and Charlotte if at all humanly possible.

Intermediate SUV

When we were near the end of a grueling day of international travel and east coast travel delays, Dollar accepted reservations for a car to help us complete a trip after we missed a connection. When we arrived at the connecting airport, we left the secured area to get the rental car to continue our trip. We were informed at the counter they had no cars available, nor did any other rental car companies at the airport. After an enlightening discussion about the DEFINITION OF THE WORD "RESERVATION" a la Seinfeld, we made our way back to the terminal to sleep on the floor since there were no hotel rooms available, either. After we stood in line at security for an hour, TSA abruptly closed for the night, leaving hundreds, potentially thousands, of people stuck between the curb and security with no services other than restrooms. Many people were crying because they were missing late night flights. After sleeping on the floor in the security corral, we finally got back through TSA to wait several more hours for our rebooked flight. Why do I BLAME DOLLAR for this nightmare? Because if they hadn't LIED ABOUT HAVING CARS AVAILABLE AND ACCEPTED RESERVATIONS, which we thought solved the problem, we wouldn't have had a travel experience so bad we are canceling all plans including Dollar, the airport, and the airline.

We never picked up a car because they were "out" in Charlotte despite booking a car online. Staff were nice and helpful at the time, despite the chaos, but it would've been helpful if the system told me there were no cars before we wasted so much time going there and waiting in line, etc.

I checked in on the Hertz app. I could select a car on the app. Went to 3 different lines to find a person with access to select a car. Had to provide DL and Credit Card again even though I had already uploaded in the app. Went out to get my car. 4th line. They changed me to another car to speed up my wait. Went to the gate to get out. 5th line. My reservation was cancelled given I was not assigned the different car in their system. Turned away from gate as a result. Had to go back inside to get a new reservation. 6th line. Picked up the same car and waited in line at the gate a second time to leave. 7th line. I promise I am not over exaggerating my experience. Very frustrating.

Hertz messaged me that they didn’t have my car, which I had confirmed and checked in for, and after that notification they made me stand in line 25 minutes at their desk to be told I couldn’t get any refund. I looked for a way to contact Kayak for a refund, and there was no contact info anywhere on Kayak’s web site. So never again, Hertz and Kayak.

There wasn’t anyone at the desk when I returned the vehicle, which is understandable considering ILM is a small airport and I arrived at 5am. But when I called later that day to ask about if they had processed the car back in the system and what the final price would be, the person on the phone was almost clueless and offered very little help. Only telling me that it’s a “corporate rental” and they don’t know anything regarding final costs. Super unsatisfactory and ambiguous answer.

Hey I’ve always seen this company sitting on the side and just thought, they probably want an arm and a leg for one of those nice cars. I drive a BMW 4 series and once you’ve drove luxury, it’s hard to go back. The price was lower than if I went and rent a Nissan Altima, crazy right. Maybe they had a special or just the timing was right. I like what I got and got a real experience.

When I first tried to book, they allowed me to go through the whole process and then told me there were no cars available. I tried again for a different car and was able to get one. I went to pick up the car and the woman at the counter told me that even though I had a reservation, if it was made that same day there were not any cars available. Then after she actually looked, she told me that my reservation was actually available but there were actually two under my name. I told her I was told that the first one didn't go through because there were no cars available at the time. Then she tried to upsell me on insurance I didn't need and intimidate me with fear tactics about what could happen if I didn't get the insurance. After all that I finally got the car. The car was mostly clean. It had some minor seat stains but it was a good experience. Then at the end of the trip I saw that SIXT charged my card twice, once for the actual rental and once for the one THEY canceled. I called them to dispute the charge and they told me they never actually canceled it, even though when I tried to book they told me there were no cars available. So SIXT charged me for a car they never had that I never rented.

Professional, friendly reps.

Cons:

The representative said his only vehicle available was delivered from the airport location and the car had a heavy smoke smell. He said I could take it to the airport location to swap for another car. I appreciate it made the offer but don’t understand why the airport location provided the car to the other location knowing of the smoke problem. I did drive the 6 miles to the airport to make the swap. Personnel at both locations were friendly and professional.

Shuttle experience was good; not long to wait. Once on site of rental car, service was mediocre. Rep treated us like we were trying to take advantage and he kept repeating the policy even though we were not arguing the fact of paying extra fees. He just didn’t have the best customer service attitude. He chose the worst car when he found out it was a one-way rental; the car was missing a hubcap and was not the best comfort ride in the interstate.

Will never use Ace again. I called to get a shuttle to pick me up and the gentleman repeatedly hung up on me or couldn’t explain where I should get the shuttle. He then proceeds to tell my husband, who was finally able to get some information from him after he repeatedly hung up on me, that there are no cars available and we would have to wait for two hours. We never got a car with Ace and I never will in the future. We used another company with far better service.

I am dissatisfied with ACE. Upon arrival at the airport, I requested a shuttle from ACE, only to be informed that they were fully booked and unable to accommodate me, despite my February booking and confirmation number. This left me feeling upset, and as a result, I will not be booking with ACE again. Yia Vue

Save yourself the hassle and just spend the extra money for a known name rental company. Van took forever to come pick up from the airport because they are located off sight. The car was damaged on the front and not just a little ding but noticeable sized dents and scratches. Staff was nice but still not sure if I have been credited my $250 deposit that is due on top of what you pay for the rental.

they added 40% to the bill and called it insurance... I did not want to pay as I have that through my car insurance as well as through my credit card provider. However, I would not be able to pick up the car without paying these additional charges.

There was no way to call the shuttle for airport pickup -- I called at least 6 times and the phone just rings and rings. It took 20 minutes for the shuttle to arrive and take us to the office. Once there, I signed in at the desk but 25 minutes later, my name still hadn't been called. I took a cab back to the airport and got a car from Alamo.

Had to call twice to get them to answer the phone when I arrived. They said they'd send the shuttle and I'd see it in 10-15 minutes. Waited over 20 minutes, and no one arrived. I tried to call again, and no one answered. Gave them until I downloaded and checked Uber & Lyft to come. They never showed up and I ended up using Lyft to take me to the office and using ride share during my trip.
