Top tips for renting a car in Springfield
- If you are one of the people who would like to book their cheap car rentals in Springfield upon arrival, then it would be best to opt for some of the Springfield car rentals near the train station. A good example of such a car rental company is Enterprise Rent-A-Car, which is situated on 207 E Kearney St. Other good Springfield car rentals include Hertz car rentals on 2867D W Chestnut Expy, Avis Car Rentals on 1210 West Sunshine Street, and National Car Rentals on 2300 N Airport Blvd Suite 111.
- There are several attractions near Springfield that can be easily accessed when visiting the area. They include The Blue Mountains (2 hours, 125km), The Jenolan Caves (3 hours, 150km), Port Stephens (3 hours, 160km), and The Snowy Mountains (5 hours, 450km). Springfield cheap car rentals offer the convenience of getting to such popular attractions. The good thing about it is that you can easily navigate through the various car rentals here and book the most suitable one on KAYAK.
- Sometimes you might change your mind after booking a rental car. If this is the case, then you are allowed to cancel your booking. The good thing about cheap car rentals in Springfield is that you will not be required to pay for canceling within the first 24 hours of booking. However, if you decide to cancel your booking after 24 hours, then you will have to pay an extra fee for this. The fee varies between Springfield car rentals.
- It’s worth the effort to look into car rentals in Springfield for your next trip. Beyond cutting out the stress of navigating bus routes and other types of public transportation, renting a car in Springfield opens opportunities to see some incredible sights close to the city. Springfield visitors can use their car rental to visit the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield, a landmark where a major Civil War battle was fought. Also, the Fantastic Caverns, with a ride-through tour, and the Dickerson Park Zoo, are other popular sites outside of town. A car rental in Springfield could be an important factor in making your visit memorable.
- Springfield is home to the Springfield-Branson National Airport. The rental car counters are located near the entrance, next to the baggage claim carousels. The Springfield-Branson National Airport provides access to multiple rental car companies, including Avis, Enterprise, Budget, and Thrifty. The lots for these rental car companies are located just outside the terminal and do not require an alternate mode of transportation to get to.
- Springfield traffic is heaviest during rush hour. Visitors should plan on slower commutes between the hours of 6:30am through 9am and again from 4:30pm to 7pm. The streets to avoid during rush hour are Campbell, Sunshine, and Battlefield. If you need to use these roads during those hours, drivers should add at least 20 extra minutes to the commute. Springfield is also designed for those who wish to commute on bicycles and walking, so drivers should be wary of bikers and pedestrians when driving in Springfield.
- Springfield is a city that experiences all four seasons of the year. When visiting between November through February, drivers should be aware that snowy driving conditions are possible. Also, Springfield experiences frequent rainstorms, so drivers must be mindful of the dangers of wet conditions on the roads. Visitors from warmer, dryer locations should practice caution if they are unused to driving in these types of situations. One of the best things to do while driving in slick or wet conditions is simply to slow down and give yourself plenty of space to stop.

Dec. 2019
Pros:
The staff in Missouri was very helpful, apologetic and willing to work with me to get into another car. Review for him is great! Overall, it being booked only an hour before, I was happy to get into anything so my review is only to highlight some things. I'd use your company again for the speediness and rate alone.Cons:
The cleanliness. And the maintenance. CLEANLINESS: The car was pretty dirty inside. It still smelled heavily of cigarettes, had about 5-6 cigarette burn holes in various seats, ceiling and roof, and there was just general dirt and dust in there. Lots of stains. Probably the filthiest interior of a rental I've ever been in. Again, the staff was extremely apologetic and seems like he was ready for me to ask for him to fix it, but I was happy to have something in a short notice. I told him don't worry about it, just please mark it on the pre-drive damage sheet (which showed the exterior damage, many decent size dents) so I wouldn't be charged. He obliged. MAINTENANCE: The maintenance lights showed it was way overdue for service. Warning comes on as soon as you start the car that reads, "Service Required (-4678mi, -9days)". The car only has 44,668 miles so I was surprised at how beat up it felt mechanically. Overall, the car ran fine, got good gas mileage and was reasonably comfortable for my needs and timeframe. Other customers likely would've had an argument to make.Budget

Mar. 2021
Pros:
I like the vehicle that I was givenCons:
I have never had the best luck with Avis. Several times, I have been charged twice for a rental. And it’s taken over a month to be reimbursed. One of those times, I had to reach out three times to get my refund.2.0 Poor

I did not book with you - I'm not sure why I received an email asking me to rate my car rental experience.2.8 Poor
Oct. 2020
Pros:
We did get an upgraded vehicle because there was no vehicle that we requested availableCons:
The vehicle outside had been keyed heavily. No one from the staff came out to inspect the vehicle with us. This was a Dodge Caravan and literally, the passenger side sliding door came off the track and was not able to close completely. The wind noise from the door not closing was ridiculous.10.0 Wonderful

Sep. 2020
Pros:
Online booking through Kayak was easy and affordable. Check out and check in were simple and efficient.Cons:
The vehicle had that specific aroma of one that had been smoked in. The company had probably paid a big fee to have cleaning done but the residual odor is still there, especially picked up by non-smokers. Sorry Avis, send it though the treatment another time.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
Drop off was quick and easy.Cons:
The place was hard to find! It was behind a strip mall with no signage on the street. The inside of the car could have been cleaner especially during Covid. We had to wipe everything down with sanitizing wipes before our trip.2.0 Poor
Sep. 2018
Pros:
NOTHING!Cons:
Booked online during travel. Got confirmation. Then called to confirm location was at airport. Reached destination airport to be told wrong location... AND NO CAR at any location because they called me and because I didn’t answer res was cancelled. I’m flying... that’s why I needed a rental car?!?!?!!! Agents at desk just did not care at all. Will never use the brand again ever!!!!!!4.8 Mediocre
Aug. 2018
Pros:
Upon returning car, I expressed to clerk, Taylor, that front bumper was scratched when I initially picked up car. Taylor stated that wouldn’t be an issue since I initially picked up car in that condition.Cons:
Receive phone call regarding scratched front bumper and I had to take the time to write an email and re-explain condition of car at time of pickup, along with pictures. Poor communication between the two Hertz car company. Customer service should have handled this situation. Hoping to soon be informed of the confirmation of my email.2.0 Poor
Jul. 2018
Pros:
The fourth person I finally got to help me receive my money why backCons:
The fact that I made a reservation. They called me to cancel it. Told me I would not be charged. Charged me fully then only gave half of my money back due to cancellation ! ( which they did due to lack of cars) then took me a week to receive the rest of my money.2.0 Poor

Dec. 2020
Cons:
I was given a upgrade that was a Chevy Tahoe rather than a midsize SUV. But that Tahoe had a leaky tire with three plugs in it and I had to keep pulling over and refilling the tire on on a long drive. Also they gave me a car that did not have the left rear turn signal working. Then when I went to turn the car in they said that I had change the car and they charge me $2000 instead of the 299 a week. I’m very disappointed. I will not be using national car rental again.10.0 Wonderful
