KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Oklahoma City
- Getting rental cars is the best way to explore Oklahoma’s numerous picturesque natural attractions. However, there are driving laws to keep in mind as you navigate within and outside the city’s streets. For instance, the law requires you to drive on the right side of the road unless overtaking. Do not exceed the recommended speed limit of 70 mph on state highways and 25 mph in residential and business districts. For security purposes, always ensure you have your safety belts on. If the car has no seatbelts, ensure that no kid under three years is using the vehicle.
- From modern museums to international art galleries and luxurious gardens, your trip will be full of pleasant surprises in this beautiful city. Oklahoma has numerous awe-inspiring attractions such as Philbrook Museum of Art, Science Museum Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Zoo, and others. Having a compact car for such destinations will be a perfect idea. The car is fuel-efficient, thus helping you save money to cut across the Oklahoma suburbs. Roads become increasingly narrow as you head towards the outskirts. A compact has a small design making it less daunting to pull in and out of parking spots. Consider renting an SUV from Oklahoma City to some of its suburbs such as Newcastle, Purcell, Turtle, and Yukon. SUVs have larger, higher-powered engines, thus making them perfect for dealing with rough suburban terrain.
- Whether a native or a foreigner in Oklahoma City, you must possess a legit driver’s license issued by your government. The license must have your photograph. You will not be allowed to continue using Oklahoma car rentals if your license expires during the period that the rental car will be in your possession. You must also have a credit card that bears your name. When collecting the car keys, the card should be presented at the rental counter. You have limited car classes to choose from if you are below 21 years—for example, economy and compact cars. Also, expect to pay some additional charges if you are below 21 years. It is crucial to confirm with your car rental company whether other documentation is required.
- Gain ultimate flexibility and rent a car upon your arrival in Oklahoma City. Don’t rely on public transport schedules and delayed trains when you can explore the city and its surroundings conveniently on your own four wheels. The recreational Lake Thunderbird State Park, for instance, is 30 miles from the city and only a 35-minute drive away.
- If you come to Oklahoma by plane and land at Will Rogers World Airport, only 11 miles separate you from the city center. Conveniently, the airport sports its own rental car center, so a vehicle can be picked up easily upon arrival. The rental center is located north of the terminal and courtesy shuttle buses bring travelers to and from it. Companies like Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise are there to provide vehicles for all tastes.
- Driving in Oklahoma City is comparable to many other US cities and quite an enjoyable undertaking. Road conditions are not pristine in some places, so driving defensively and slowing down can be helpful. It is also important to note that Oklahoma drivers have a reputation for being quite impatient, especially during rush hour.
- Traffic congestion is not as bad in Oklahoma as in other cities like Boston or LA; yet, if possible, try to avoid driving through the city between 7-9 in the morning and 5-7 in the evening. Most affected are the I-235 and I-44, as they narrow down into two lanes, making wait times of up to an hour. Make sure to plan well in advance, especially when going to the airport, and check the current traffic situation before leaving the accommodation.

Cons:
I went to that pick up location, the lady that was at the desk Mrs Ree-Ray give me and other reservation instead even when I told her that I came to pick up a reservation that I had on file , now am dealing with and unknown precedence, when I went to drop off on Saturday because I didn't know that I had the wrong car, they want to charge me 400$ for a drop off fee.3.2 Poor

Pros:
The mini van was clean and fully loaded. Nice staff and I would rent here again, if the need arises.Cons:
The parking lot is very small and with more than two customers can be very crowded. The radio was on when I got in to drive it and I had to listen to profanity for several blocks before I figured out how to turn the radio off. It was on a normal station that just happens to play rap, not Avis's fault but had a child been with me it could have been bad, as toddlers repeat everything!Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:

The car smelled of cigarette smoke. I could tell the rental company had cleaned it, but that smell can't be taken out. It was an unpleasant experience.10.0 Wonderful
Apr. 2021
Pros:
Under the circumstances, the staff was quite accommodating. When I arrived for pick-up, there was not a car available and the staff could not give me a time frame for when I would be getting a car. I mentioned that I had to be in Wichita, KS (from OKC) by 4pm (It was a little after 11AM). When a car became available, it was at the airport location and still needed to be cleaned up and driven to the I-240 location. Instead of making me wait, a staff person drove me over to the airport to the car so I would not have to wait longer than necessary for someone to bring it to me. This was really helpful and I appreciated it.Cons:
Obviously, a car waiting for me when I arrived at my scheduled pick up time would have been ideal, but it worked out and, again, the staff was handled it well.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Enterprise cancelled my reservation without telling me. When I showed up to pick up my car they claimed they had tried calling me and that I also should have made the reservation several days in advance which made no sense since I had in fact made the reservation several days in advance. I’m not sure if it is a company wide policy to cancel reservations without confirming with the customer or just this one rental agent who messed up but luckily for me I was able to make other arrangements.2.0 Poor
Nov. 2020
Cons:
They ran out of cars and said their partner locations were also out of cars. What’s the point of a reservation if they do not hold a vehicle for you?Dollar

Pros:
It drove just fine. It was clean.Cons:
First thing first, i understand you cannot guarantee a brand or model of car. However, giving me a Jeep renegade and calling it "RAV4 or similar" is laughable. The RAV4 has 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space. This boxy little jeep has 50.8. That's quite a drastic difference. I fit more stuff in my 06 Corolla, and I'm being completely serious. Secondly, the RAV4 gets ~31mpg on the highway. This 4x4 box averaged 22 over 2 days. It's supposed to get 31 but it didn't. Maybe it needs a tune up.10.0 Wonderful

Jun. 2018
Pros:
Car drop off was the only thing that was not filled with complications.Cons:
The pick up of the car to an extra hour. We waited for 45 minutes to be picked up. I was harassed about insurance on the car. I provided my insurance and was still harassed. He called my insurance to make sure my documents were not fake. Felt interrogated. The car was in very bad shape. Large dents in the from and back not very clean on inside and cigarette burns on the seats. The worst rental I have ever seen. I asked about my 60.00 deposit they said it would be refunded with no problem at drop off. I forgot something in the car. Called multiple times to asked if they had recovered it. Had the distinct feeling they did not check and did not care. However, leaving was my fault but still felt as if they didn't help me. I dropped the car off on the 15th of may. After multiple calls and checks I finally received my deposit back on the 31st of may. I also only received a partial deposit refund because of a flat tire that occurred while I had the rental. The bad thing about that was, when I had the flat, I called to check to see if it was a problem. They said it was no big deal they would fix it when I returned it. I could have fixed it myself for far cheaper than they did but there was no mention of any charge when I asked or dropped the car off. This was a terrible experience and you should not rent cars to anyone using this service. If you continue to use this company, they will alienate more customers. They did an extremely poor job.
