Top tips for renting a car in Tuscaloosa
- Tuscaloosa is full of great historical sites that can be explored at your leisure with your Tuscaloosa car rental. From the Alabama Museum of Natural History, or the Paul W. Bryant Museum, the Westervelt Warner Museum of American Art, or the Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame. Catch a show at the Bama Theater, a round of golf at the Ol' Colony Golf Complex, or even a game at the Bryant–Denny Stadium, or a night out on the town at the Downtown Tuscaloosa Historic District, like some traditional southern barbeque at the Dreamland Bar-B-Que. Your own set of wheels will give you enough time to pack in all the action, at other historical sites in the surrounding area like the Gorgas House or the Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion. Be sure to take a tour of the University of Alabama campus while you’re here.
- Tuscaloosa is served by its own airport, the Tuscaloosa National Airport. The car rental offices are located in the terminal, near the baggage claim. The Birmingham Shuttlesworth Airport is also within an hour away from Tuscaloosa and has a large range of flight options. The Rental Car facility at the Birmingham Shuttlesworth Airport is located in section 1B on the ground level of the parking deck just outside the baggage claim area.
- Tuscaloosa is served by the following major highways: I-20, I-59, and U.S. Route 82. Beware of pedestrians around the Tuscaloosa Strip and Highway 69 and Interstate 59, as they may step onto the road without warning. Remember that pedestrians always have the right of way in Alabama. There is a popular cycling route along with 5th and Main Street down to the Tuscaloosa River Walk where drivers should beware of sharing the road with cyclists. Be sure that you move one lane away from any emergency vehicle you see stopped on the road and slow down to 15mph as you approach the vehicle.
- Normally, there is no major rush hour time in Tuscaloosa. Occasionally, in the case of bad weather, there may be an incident on the I-65 or the I-459 on the way to Birmingham that will block up traffic more than normal.

The rental price.Cons:
Credit report refused me to be able to rent car. Since reservation was made on line over the weekend it left me scrambling to get a rental.

It was OK it could have been better.Cons:
Hey just picked up the car had a little problem with it before I went out of town had to fix flat, had a screw inside the tire . I called back to Enterprise they wanted to put me in a van I said I wanted something like the size car that I rented and paid for . They said they didn't have anything and I ask if I could drive to Birmingham , he said that it is Father's Day weekend and then they said they didn't know if they would even have one at that location. It didn't sound like they want to really take care of my problem so I didn't like the manager He seem to have an attitude that I was calling about the rental and I am a company2.0 Poor

Pros:
It was very helpful that we could pick up the car in a non-airport location and drop it off at the airport we were flying out of.Cons:
We had a reservation but had to wait for the car to be cleaned when we arrived at Enterprise. The cleanliness of the car was fair, but not great.46 travellers who rented a car in Tuscaloosa gave the car agency they used an average rating of 6.9
