Charleston car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

AmyJun 2024
I would rent a small to mid-sized car given that there is ample on street parking.
LynneApr 2024
Would consider a smaller car for city only but pleased with the bigger car I had for road/highway travel
MarkMay 2024
Give yourself plenty of time to pickup your vehicle - as much as an hour. And don’t get upset with the CHS workers - they are all hustling as best as they can - it’s a staffing/operations problem that management must fix.
JulioJan 2024
Driving on Route 17 was great even with traffic. Obey speed limit, quite a few police cars monitoring speeding.

Driving in Charleston is fine. Pretty easy to navigate.
ValJun 2023
Driving in Charleston was easy, Parking seemed a bit pricey, We stayed in Mount Pleasant. We drove in in the morning and again at night. Have to figure $30-40 a day in Parking fees
Verified travelerMay 2023
Really easy to pick up and drop off. Note that the Enterprise desk is so the far end of the terminal, not -as Google Maps shows it - in the middle

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Charleston

  • Charleston, like many cities in the US, is truly designed for cars over public transportation. Whether you are visiting Fort Sumter or checking out Magnolia Plantation & Gardens and Middleton Place, you simply would struggle to get around Charleston without a car. If you would like to visit Middleton Place, for instance, you would have no choice but to join a tour if you don’t have a car, as public transport doesn’t serve it.
  • Need to pick up a rental car after landing at Charleston International Airport? In that case, head on over to the Rental Car Pavilion located by Baggage Claim at the end of the airport’s main terminal, where you will find all of the airport’s rental agencies conveniently located together.
  • Jaywalking is very common in the historic part of Charleston so drivers should beware. This is partly because much of the pedestrian traffic in downtown Charleston is made up of tourists visiting the city. Another road hazard to look out for in the downtown area is the bikers -- particularly the distracted college students biking with their phones out.
  • Drivers will be happy to hear that while Charleston does experience its share of rush hour traffic, it is by no means severe. Drivers can expect the morning rush hour to start up at around 7:00 a.m. and to last until 9:00 a.m., while the afternoon rush hour starts at 4:00 p.m. and finishes up at about 6:30 p.m. I-26 is the main road to avoid during rush hour as it is one of the top highways used by commuters heading to and from work.
  • Charleston city center is 20 minutes from the Charleston International airport (CHS). Join International Boulevard Road from the rental parking lot. Turn left to I-526 Street and take exit 17 to join I-26 east. Continue on I-26, which will take you straight to the heart of the city. The city center has plenty of things to explore, such as Charleston City Market. To head into the market, use Meeting Street and turn left to South Market Street. Others include The College of Charleston, The Historic Dock Street Theater, and Aiken-Rhett House.
  • If you’re not flying in, you do not have to go to CHS to get cheap car rentals in Charleston. Conveniently acquire cheap Charleston car rentals in the downtown area. Several companies like Budget, Avis, and Enterprise provide car rental services in the downtown area. The downtown car rental center is at Meeting Street, and rental companies at these locations only operate during normal business hours. Downtown rental locations provide a wide fleet of vehicles fitting every need, similar to airport locations. However, Budget and Avis do not have after-hours pick-up and return services as with airport locations, but Enterprise does provide these services at an extra charge.
  • Drivers of car rentals in Charleston are subject to the same driving laws as other drivers. First, stop and yield right of way before joining traffic flow or exiting the parking lot. Do this regardless of the presence of a stop sign. Second, your vehicle’s windshield wipers and headlights should be on when it's misty or raining. Use the turn signal at least 100 feet before your intended turn. You legally cannot right of way when another driver signals you to turn or merge in moving traffic. It is also mandatory for all vehicle occupants to wear seatbelts in a moving vehicle.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Charleston for C$ 85 or less
  • Book your rental car in Charleston at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Charleston are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Charleston

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Charleston?

    Charleston’s streets are well-suited for a wide range of vehicles. Sedans, coupes, SUVs, and large trucks will all be perfectly comfortable on the road, so all vehicle options are a good choice.

    Planning on visiting downtown? Parking garages and streetside parallel parking are your best options.

Have more people working at the check in desk. There were 50-60 people on line to get their reserved vehicles with 1 agent. People were close to rioting. We were forced to go to Hertz just to get out. Never again.

I cancelled my reservation because the process of actually trying to get the car from Budget at Charleston airport was abysmal. Ridiculous line, unclear instructions, extremely long walk to try to get to the car and terrible customer service.

I ended up renting from another rental car provider. Budget wanted to give me an electric car for a 435 mile trip. The type of electric car was not one that has the infrastructure to do the trip (some do, this was not one of those). So the vehicle offered was not suitable..... they asked me to wait and "hope" that a different car would be dropped off and that too was not very practical.

The rental car operation at CHS was overwhelmed - I waited an over an hour waiting in lines. They had to pull my vehicle from a remote lot - it wasn’t in the garage. The car was clean on the outside but the interior was not - my wife spent time wiping everything down. The tires were really worn - I wish that I had more time to reject the vehicle - bald spots on all four tires. Returning to Budget at OKC was fast and friendly - that part of the rental was terrific!

I prepaid my car in full. When I finally got to the counter after waiting an hour in line they had my reservation but said I didn't pay yet. I had to wait another hour for the manager to call me, who was of no help. I had to pay again and this time had to pay $100 more than I paid originally. Not I have to fight with Budget to get my well deserved money back. Absolutely awful. Will never ever rent from Budget again and will tell everyone in the world to stay away.

Luxury SUV

Reserved a luxury SUV (Audi Q5 or equivalent was stated). When I arrived I was given the choice of only two SUV’s, both Ford Expedition Max. The vehicle is the biggest SUV Ford makes…6000lbs, 7 passenger and 20’ long. Not a luxury SUV and a gas guzzler averaging 13 mpg. You need a step ladder to climb into the vehicle. Was not a pleasant experience trying to drive and park that thing around Charleston SC.

our rental car could not be given to us because the car that we returned in Atlanta the day before had not been registered as returned. We had to make a new rental under different name. Luckily Isaac Mattern the manager helped us with the process. The Atlanta Alamo managers were incompetent.

Easy online selection. The car I requested was actually there (unlike other brands on past). The car seats for the kids were ok. A high back booster option would be nice to have for young kids who are bigger than a toddler seat and too small for just a simple booster. Rental price for kids seats is too much for the value. Those booster seats are old and can be bought for 20$ at Walmart, which I will do instead next time. Slow counter service and the line to leave the garage took almost 10 mins. Overall, good value and nice clean vehicle.

I couldn’t rent my car from Hertz. I used AFFIRM via online to get the rental that way. When I went to hertz counter, they wouldn’t rent me the car. Even though, the car was paid for prior to my pick up via AFFIRM. All they needed was a deposit since car was paid for. Nope, wouldn’t let me even use a debit card for that. I have NEVER had issues with Hertz before and I’ve rented cars via AFFIRM, KLARNA or AFTERPAY. I was so embarrassed. Money is tight for people wanting to rent vehicles and those buy here, pay later accommodations really help. I had to spend $600 of my own money to rent a car through AVIS.

Hertz did not have the car we reserved. We were forced to take a smaller car which was unsafe given the number of passengers and the luggage. Hertz did not offer any other options.

Booked a 6pm pickup not realizing that was the time the shop closed. Showed up 10 minutes late and was refused entry and was not able to get the car. Should not be allowed to book a pickup at or after closing. Very disappointing.

We rented a van to evacuate from Hurricane Milton. When we arrived at the counter I was told no vans weee available and that my only option was an SUV for an extra $100. Considered we were evacuating from a CAT 5 storm I feel this was very poor customer service. To price gouge my family in a time of need. I won’t do business with Avis again.

Did not tell us in any email that I needed $200 deposit so I did not come prepared and then they were mean and unhelpful when I was trying to find a solution

Terrible. Waited in line at desk, paid and headed to garage. Then waited over an hour for a vehicle. No cars and not nice staff.

The National agent at the counter in Charleston (Riya) was the most professional, efficient and friendly agent I have encountered in my many years of picking up rental cars. Made for a great experience.
