Top tips for renting a car in Myrtle Beach

  • Alcohol consumption in a moving vehicle, whether you’re a passenger or driver, is illegal in Myrtle Beach. The law requires drivers to turn on headlights and windshield wipers of all vehicles on the road, including cheap car rentals in Myrtle Beach, whenever it's raining. When near your intended turn location, approximately 100 feet away, ensure you make the necessary hand signals and switch on the turn signal. It is legally not a must to right of way every time another driver gives you a go ahead. Every passenger in your vehicle must put on a seat belt whenever it's moving. You must also stop and yield when exiting a parking lot. This is key since many facilities lack a stop sign at the entrance of the parking lot.
  • Myrtle Beach is split into blocks; roads running west and east are in numerical order so getting around the city is easy with some basic math skills. The line dividing South and North is First Avenue. The streets around are, therefore, Second Avenue South and Second Avenue North. The numbering of major motorways like Highway 17 Bypass, Highway 17 Business, and Ocean Boulevard, running from North to South, are based on the intersecting streets. Moreover, you can use the Bob and Joe roads to get to most areas in the city. For instance, Bob runs from Myrtle Beach Airport to all the major numbered avenues. It gives you access to Broadway at the Beach, Highway 501, Highway 31, and more.
  • Familiarizing with the the major highways in Myrtle Beach will ease your navigation around the 60 miles of beaches in the Grand Strand. The main connector roads running north to south and east to west will help with this. Instead of using the traditional 501 to the beach and battling the heavy traffic, take the Veterans Highway, which gives you access to many northern parts of Grand Strand. S.C 544 also heads to the Surfside Beach area. Head to the heart of Grand Strand by taking the U.S 17 Business. Take the smooth U.S. 17 Bypass to Murrells Inlet from North Myrtle Beach, free of traffic lights.
  • Looking to pick up a rental car after landing in Myrtle Beach? For travelers with flights to Myrtle Beach International Airport, you will find the rental car desks in the lobby of the main terminal, while the rental car lots are just adjacent to the airport.
  • Rainy season lasts from June to November, so drivers unused to strong rainstorms may want to be cautious if they are on the road during a storm. In general, the weather is not too much of a problem, but there is the occasional tropical storm that does come through. During such storms, it is best to wait out the weather because hydroplaning can be a worry.
  • Want to make the most out of your time in Myrtle Beach? Then make sure to rent a car. Myrtle Beach, like many cities in the U.S., was designed with cars in mind. While there is a trolley in the city, if you plan on visiting anything outside of the downtown core, you will need a vehicle. For instance, if you plan on taking a trip to some of the neighboring beaches like North Myrtle Beach, it is just a simple drive away -- assuming you’ve rented a car.
  • Myrtle Beach, though not the largest of cities, certainly has its fair share of traffic woes. Luckily for drivers, these traffic problems are largely confined to two primary rush hours in the morning and afternoon: from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. During those hours, the 501 in particular can become backed up and congested, as it runs through the center of Myrtle Beach and is one of the major outlets of the city.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Myrtle Beach for C$ 84 or less
  • Book your rental car in Myrtle Beach at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Myrtle Beach are around 5% cheaper than airport locations on average
  • Full-size rental cars in Myrtle Beach are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

The car broke down and was towed, customer service made me get my own Uber, then when I got there the manager looked like he had no idea why I was there and he took forever to get me my new car, also told me they should have switched a car for me(a lot of good that was since I already came there because the customer service lady told me to). There was no way to reach the airport branch directly, that is wrong!!!!!!!!!

Cons:

If something happens to the car, good luck, terrible customer service.

You gave us an F-150. It was the biggest car we’ve ever driven, so it was hard for us to park and maneuver it. We had to be extremely careful so to not ding it as we parked it. It required us to back up and retry everytime we needed to park or make a tight turn.

KAYAK

Pros:

Car was comfortable. Drop off was easy but we had problems getting the car because our flight was late and they told us that there were no cars available. Eventually they found replacement but we were close to cancelling our reservation.

Cons:

They should not base car availability on arrival time. Flights are late or rescheduled. We came only two hours late and were told that they did not have a car for us because of this.

2.4 Poor

Aug. 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Honestly didnt like anything about our experience from the car to the staff. Overall unprofessional. My spouse and I rented a vehicle in early June to travel from SC to NJ and back. A couple of hours into our trip a huge roach, the kind that fly was crawling on my foot. I freaked out and this could of potentially been dangerous, good thing I wasn't driving. That made us worry about our luggage in the trunk as we didnt want roaches infesting our belongings. On our way up to New Jersey there was no way for us to pay cash for our tolls due to covid and we were forced to go through the EZ Pass. We immediately call Thrifty to notify them and were told we'd have to pay the tolls online for every state we went through a toll. When we tried to pay online through the state,we didnt have an invoice number that was require to pay the toll. That we needed from thrifty. We called thrifty again only to have our account noted. Now several months later we're being charged $90.00 in toll and penalty. When I called again to speak to the Manager Jessica I was given an attitude over the phone and was told that it was my responsibility to pay the tolls despite our multiple attempts to make the payment, which now include a penalty fee. I was also hung up on and when I called back and asked to speak to the Manager Jessica again I was sidelined. I travel to NJ once a month for work, we rent vehicles and fly often. This by far has been my worst experience ever dealing with any kind of customer service agents.

Cons:

Dealing with a competent manager.

I like that pick up was easy. No upsetting pressure. I like that drop off was easy. Just drop off in the parking lot and hand the keys over to attendant. What made this experience really sour was the condition of the car. All, I mean every single seat back and front was heavily stained. The windows were so dirty we could not see well when the sun shone through. Truly not worth the money, which we know is too much these days.

Kayak had me book for a rental car from a different site than the airport, which resulted in me needing to take a taxi off the airport to go get the rental car when there was a rental office at the airport. Then I had to arrange for a ride from the off site rental location to the airport. I also had to return the car hours before my flight because the rental office closed at 1:00 on Sundays.

Rental itself was great, clean, ran great. Great rental.

Cons:

On pick-up, they said I had booked the wrong location even though my reservation was for the correct location, which I showed them. The person ahead of me in line had the same problem. Also, when I dropped off the rental they tried to charge a weekly rate even though I had spoken with the agent at pick up about converting it back over to a daily rate after the rental was up (which was reflected in my contract). Although a manager corrected the problem after I showed her proof, the initial agent was incompetent and did not know what he was doing. The manager had to show him twice. Also, the parking attendant was rude at drop off until he realized that I was correct. Would probably not use national through kayak again- too much of a hassle when you are traveling!

Pros:

I like that I got a free upgrade and a reduced rate from the woman working the desk at Myrtle Beach International Airport. I presented her with my paperwork and the airport was the WRONG airport in Myrtle Beach (the private airport - Not MYR which is the airport code for the International Airport). The whole booking had to be cancelled, the insurance had to be cancelled and everything had to be rebooked.

Cons:

That the airport code for Myrtle Beach (MYR) is the incorrect booking code to get a car rental! Who came up with that idea?!
