Top tips for renting a car in McKinney

  • If you are visiting for the first time, this is a suburb where you will find it more beneficial to move around with a rental. A cheap car rental in McKinney will take you to all travel destinations comfortably, quicker, and more efficiently. You can, for instance, take a 40-minute drive to Lewisville Lake via Sam Rayburn Tollway for fishing. Alternatively, you can go to Towne Lake Recreation Area for watersports, about 3 miles from McKinney Airport.
  • Whether traveling solo or with your loved ones, McKinney car rentals allow you to explore and enjoy the exciting Dallas nightlife and great cultural destinations such as Tupps Brewery, about a 3.5-mile drive along Wilson Creek Pkwy, or Adriatica Village, about 10 miles from McKinney National Airport. A roughly 40 minutes drive will get you to the Third Monday Trade Days flea market, where you can buy gifts and souvenirs.
  • Finding cheap car rentals in McKinney is a hassle-free process. To be eligible, you must present a valid credit card and driving license as well as proof of alternate coverage. Some of the cheap car rental companies in McKinney include Hertz, Avis, and Budget. On landing at McKinney National Airport, you can take a short walk to the car rental counter and choose a vehicle that suits your travel needs. You can then access the city via Industrial Blvd, a 4.3-mile journey. If your car of choice is in a nearby location, you can take advantage of McKinney airport shuttle services. If you prefer choosing a ride from cheap car rentals in McKinney downtown, you can opt to travel downtown using a tram or one of the DART’s buses.
  • Less than 30min from Downtown Dallas, McKinney offers a historic, tree-lined downtown area with a small-town charm. Your McKinney car rental will get you around Main Street’s antique shops, restaurants, and cafes, or over to the Chestnut Square Historic Park for a peek into how the town’s communities worked in the early 1900s or the Collin County Historical Society & Museum. If you’re here during the warmer months, be sure to check out the Towne LakeRecreation Area or Lewisville Lake with paddle boats and picnicking areas, tee off at the Oak Hollow Golf Course, or to the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary with the family. Be sure to spend a day exploring nearby Dallas or Fort Worth as well. You can catch a Cowboys football game, explore the Arts District, view the galleries at the Dallas Museum of Art, or take a stroll through Klyde Warren Park.
  • To fly into McKinney, look for a flight to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, a half-hour away. Once you arrive and collect your luggage, follow the signs for the Rental Car designated pick-up area, which is located on the lower level of the terminal. Rental Car shuttle buses will pick you up roughly every 15min to take you to the Rental Car Center, an approximately 10min drive away.
  • The main highways serving McKinney are the US 75, US 380, SH 5, SH 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) that runs to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. There are a number of traffic circles throughout McKinney where pedestrians will have the right of way, like the one at Ridge and Wilmeth, and drivers are expected to yield. Also, note that pedestrians are allowed to cross intersections diagonally, so be on the lookout for pedestrians around busy intersections. Cyclists are also common on the roadways in McKinney, with a vast on-street bike network so be aware that you’ll be sharing the road with cyclists.
  • Most traffic in McKinney is along the US 75 and is considered one of the most congested routes in the Dallas area. It may be easier to take other major roads through McKinney rather than get on the freeway during rush hour, which is typically from 7am to 10am, and then again from 4pm to 7pm. Snow is rare in McKinney but beware of good driving practices if you are visiting during the winter months.
  • Book your rental car in McKinney at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in McKinney are around 10% cheaper than other car types, on average

9.6 Wonderful

Oct. 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

The trunk was spacious, the car rode well and smooth and handled fine. Gas mileage was good as well. The rental experience was smooth and quick.

Cons:

The pickup from a rolling start is poor and hesitant but this is not the rental locations' fault. Just not a car I would ever own.

7.6 Good

Pros:

upon returning vehicle, simple and quick process

Cons:

when I went to pick up vehicle, it was not ready and I had to wait over 30 minutes.

3.6 Poor

May 2017

KAYAK

Cons:

The vehicle had not been cleaned and smelled like smoke. There was so much dirt and grime on the inside of the windsheild that I had to stop and clean it before I felt safe driving it as the dirt obscured my view. The outside looked as though it had not been washed in weeks. I was very disappointed. Not worth the money I paid at all.

Cons:

I had requested a mini van for a long road trip...when I went to pick up the van , the only one with low miles also had a DVD system which I did not want or need...but I had to take it as all the other ones had 30K plus miles on them. I asked to not be charged the extra amount for the DVD system and was told that was not possible...which I think is really bad custormer service and a way for them to get more money out of me.

We had problems with the rental stranded for seven hours the showed it was hot with a picture of a cup of hot coffee it told us to pull over we called the closes hertz Mat the agent said he didn’t have any vehicles available and gave me the 800 number to call and ask for a double tow I called and the person said take it to the airport or the location I had picked it up I picked it up in Sherman Texas and the car broke down in Williams Arizona was closer to my destination Clovis California where I had a doctors appointment which I missed and had to reschedule my doctor is not in the office on Friday or the weekend I had to rescheduled for Monday which meant I had to extend my days with the rental two extra days I was charged $53 a day plus $12 late fees and $17 recovery fees the car had issues and if that wasn’t enough the air conditioning didn’t work the assistant at the emergency assistance told us to wait inside the gas station We waited in the car it would have been very embarrassing if they would have asked us to leave for loitering I am very disappointed I had hertz when I was getting the car in McKinney Texas the agents there were charging $36 a day
