Cheap car rentals in Tallahassee
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tallahassee
- Tallahassee has numerous scenic routes to explore. You can book cheap car rentals in Tallahassee and drive along the Miccosukee canopy road to the Indian village or enjoy the landscaped corridor linking historic districts in Monticello and Tallahassee along Fred Mahan Drive. To ensure an incident-free drive throughout the sunshine state, you must give way to pedestrians, cars at an intersection, and emergency service vehicles. A right-of-way violation resulting in an accident is a criminal offense under Florida law that’s subject to fines or license suspension or revocation.
- Tallahassee, Florida, has numerous couples and family-oriented activities. If you are nature lovers, you can drive to the 80,000 acres of St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, drop by the Museum of Florida History, or have a relaxing lunch with the little ones at Cascades Park. If you’re traveling with a minor(s), keep them secured in the age-appropriate booster seat. Additionally, to comply with Florida’s laws and keep everyone safe on the road, ensure all passengers inside Tallahassee car rentals wear seat belts.
- Major car hire agencies with a counter at the Tallahassee Airport most likely have an off-site office. If you’re looking for a convenient pickup or drop-off spot, you can choose one of the 21 car rental locations in Tallahassee. For example, there is an Enterprise location on 628 N Monroe St., Avis on 1414 S Monroe St, a Hertz on 3204 W Tennessee St West, or 2353 Apalachee Pkwy, and Alamo on 3300 Capital Cir SW, to mention a few. When filling out the reservation form, select a return location and add a pickup date and time, including the drop-off date and time.
- With not one but several huge national parks just around the corner, it is a good idea to rent a car for your next trip to Tallahassee and discover the beauty of the city as well as the surrounding areas. Explore every nook and cranny of Tallahassee, from the Tallahassee Museum in the southwest, to the Automobile Museum in the very northeast. Get the most out of your trip on your own wheels and also explore some breathtaking nature beyond the city borders.
- If you fly into Tallahassee International Airport, the most convenient way to start your journey is by choosing to rent a car directly from there. Various agencies offer their vehicles to be picked up from the airport garage, so you can be in the center of Tallahassee in about 15 minutes. Keep in mind that there is no public service running between the airport and the city, so you would otherwise have to get an expensive cab or Uber to get to your next destination.
- The state of Florida has many toll roads so, if you’re planning on leaving Tallahassee, make sure to have enough change to pay the tolls (about $1). There is also the Move Over law enforced now in the state, which means if there is an emergency vehicle on the side of the road, drivers have to slow down 20 mph from the original speed, or move into the left lane.
- Try to avoid the rush hours in Tallahassee for a smooth and hassle-free driving experience. Usually, peak times are on weekdays between 7 and 8:30am and 5 and 6:30pm. During that time, especially Monroe Street, Tennessee Street, and Apalachee Parkway can be severely congested, and familiarizing with the one-way streets of Duval or Bronnough can be helpful to circumnavigate the main routes.
- Book your rental car in Tallahassee at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Tallahassee are around 62% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
The people that I dealt with were all very professional and very nice. This rental was easy and a great experience.Cons:
When I picked up the car, it didn't have a full tank of gas. The needle was clearly below the full mark. I was headed to Costco in preparation for my drive on the next day and the tank took over five dollars of gas. Gas that day was $1.70/gallon. That is not a full tank in anyone's book. Otherwise everything else was great.6.4 Okay
Nov. 2019
Pros:
Car was very clean and in great shape.Cons:
The first car I was given was an SUV that I was not expecting as I preferred a sedan. In addition, this car had flat tire that forced me to return to the rental station after leaving to exchange. I was not happy having to walk back and forth from the lot with my belongings twice in rain.4.0 Mediocre
